Judith Daner Enamel Artwork Wall Panels, the Mexicans 1950s

About the Item

Judith Daner (1936 - 2023) designed these lovely Mid-Century modernist enamel on copper artwork in the 1950s. The one-tile plaque is on the original structured wood frame. The abstract and stylized design features women and men in typical South American outfits. Judith Daner utilized the stencil technique to create a layered and dimensional effect in the design. The design boasts purple, red, and navy blue enamel variations, all set against a natural copper-pink sky. There is a brown and blue mountain landscape in the background. This process took multiple firings to accomplish. There is no visible signature, but the style and technique are recognizable and unmistakable. The panel set is in good condition with minor wear on the wood frames but no chips and no repair on the enamel plaques. One plaque shows a light hairline on the bottom right corner, but it does not significantly affect the overall appearance. Check the close-up. Measurements for one panel: Frame size: 18.13 in wide (46 cm) x 18.13 in high (46 cm) x 1.75 in deep (4.5 cm). Plaque size: 11 in wide (28 cm) x 11 in high (28 cm). Note: Measurements in the item detail are for one panel alone. The ambiance pictures might not have the exact actual size of the panels. Note: Judith Daner (1936 - 2023) Based in Ashland, enamellist Judith Daner was raised in New York and studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn before settling in Massachusetts. In her early 20s, she began her career doing finish work at an enamel giftware company in Connecticut. Her illustrious art career started with pencil illustrations in the Far Rockaway High School yearbook. She later graduated with Top Honors from Parsons School of Design in NY. She began her work as a designer for Bovano of Cheshire, CT, and Robert Wuersch Associates of Fall River, MA, for whom she designed an enormous catalog of influential mid-century art. She also created numerous special commissions for corporate institutions. Her work graced the windows of Bergdorf Goodman in New York, and she had the rare honor of having three pieces selected for the 1975 Limoges Biennale Internationale in France. Her work is in private collections and exhibited in galleries worldwide. However, as she developed her style and technique, she continued to approach her work not as a metalsmith but as an artist. First and foremost, Judith was a dynamic art teacher who loved her students. She taught enameling at The Worcester Center for Crafts for over 20 years and at Brookfield Craft Center, de Cordova Museum School, Snowfarm, Metalwerx, and the West Palm Beach Enameling Guild. Judith Daner's artwork has been exhibited at various art venues and institutions, including the Worcester Center for Crafts. She divided her time between teaching and creating more enamel compositions until she passed away on April 28, 2023.
