Note:
Date estimated. Mounted on heavy paper on linen. Founded as Stewart and Clark Company in 1905, Stewart-Warner Corporation, still has a brand presence. It has been a major manufacturer of instruments, appliances, scoreboards, and the like. Illinois born artist Charles Turzak was the only son of Czechoslovakian immigrant parents. His father was a coal miner who worked long days, so many rural chores occupied Turzak’s boyhood years. He escaped his duties to do what he enjoyed most: carefully carving miniature animals from peach seeds, which he would sell for pennies. He went on to become a well known woodworker, woodcut artist, and watercolorist who exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago and worked for the Works Progress Administration, completing a mural for the Chicago Post Office. From 1942, he was art director of Today's Health Magazine.
