A rare work of art by an female modernist artist from the 1930s, by Janet Todd Young. Janet Todd Young is a very interesting artist. She was born in Illinois in 1908, and earned a bachelor's degree in languages from Oberlin College, specializing in French, Italian and German.  After graduating, Janet travelled to Europe to put her language skills to use, working for her father. While living in Berlin in the early 1930s she met and married Beckford Young, an American artist from Petaluma, California who had recently been working with Hans Hofmann at UC Berkeley.  Hofmann, widely considered to be one of the most influential abstract artists of the time, was returning to Germany and convinced Beckford to travel with him so the two could be closer the the cutting edge of emerging modern art in Europe.

Janet, who had already been making and exhibiting Russian constructivist inspired constructions, was introduced to furniture making by her husband, and made constructivist furniture...
