Correspondence with Carl Zigrosser, 1927-1971, n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155899757

These letters are written by the artist Jessie Warneke, the wife of the sculptor Heinz Warneke. Their work was represented at the Weyhe Gallery. Her lively correspondence with Carl Zigrosser concerns itself with life among the American artists living in Europe in the 1930's, their circle of mutual friends in the art world of New York, the progress of Heinz Warneke's work and his commissions, her own work and exhibitions, domestic news, their life as artist-farmers in Connecticut, life in Washington, the 1963 unveiling of a statue by Heinz at the Philadelphia Zoo, and their appreciation of Zigrosser's books. Later letters concern old times together and the subject of aging. Among the people mentioned in Jessie Warneke's letters are Mabel Dwight, Florence King, Erhard Weyhe, Roderick Seidenberg, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Katherine Schmidt (Schubert), John B. Flannagan, Harry Gottlieb, Andrée Ruellan, Alexander Calder, Aristide Maillol, Kuei T'eng, Emil Ganso, Mitchell Jamieson, E. Boyd, Henry Mitchell, Thomas W. Nason, A. R. Orage and Sadakichi Hartmann.
