About the Artist:
Henriette "Yetti" Stolz, born in 1935 in Serbia, emigrated to Denver, Colorado, in the early 1950s with her family after WWII. She attended East High School before pursuing her art studies at Colorado College in Colorado Springs during the mid to late 1950s. While there, Stolz was influenced by modernist artists, including Mary Chenoweth, and the creative environment at the Broadmoor Art Academy. Her work from this period reflects the influence of noted modernist Emerson Woelffer, who was active at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.
In 1957, Stolz married Don Gruenler and soon began teaching Art, German, and Jewelry Making at Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver. Although she participated in several small art shows, Stolz’s art career was modest, and she produced relatively few works for sale. Despite this, her abstract paintings remain significant representations of mid-20th century modernism in Colorado.

About the Artist:
Born Ohio 1919
Died Colorado 1993
Born to immigrant parents from the Carpathian region in Slovakia, Marecak grew up with his family in the farming community of Bennett’s Corners, now part of the town of Brunswick, near Cleveland, Ohio. When he turned twelve, his family moved to a multi-ethnic neighborhood of Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, and Slovenians in Cleveland. His childhood household cherished the customs and Slavic folk tales from the Old Country that later strongly influenced his work as a professional artist. His junior and senior high projects earned him a full scholarship to the Cleveland Institute of Art (1938-1942) where he studied with Henry George Keller whose work was included in the 1913 New York Armory Show. In 1940 Marecak also taught at the Museum School of the Cleveland Institute.
Before being drafted into the military in 1942, he briefly attended the Cranbrook Academy of Art near Detroit, one of the nation’s leading graduate schools of art, architecture, and design. Marecak’s studies at Cranbrook with painter Zoltan Sepeshy...
