NEW YORK, NY.- Doris Lee (1905-1983) Celebrates Life’s Small Pleasures highlights the artist’s career from 1936 through the 1950s with 42 works. Visitors to the exhibition will see a full range of Doris Lee’s subjects – landscapes, genre scenes, still lifes, portraits – in oil, gouache, pastel, and collage.

Her subjects came from everyday small pleasures experienced in New York City, Woodstock, Florida, and her travels through the South.

Lee first studied art in Italy and France before studying at the Kansas City Art Institute with Ernest Lawson in 1929 and at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco in 1930 with Arnold Blanch, who she later married.
