Printmaking
Minna Citron was an American painter and printmaker whose work ranged from social realism to abstraction across a career spanning nearly a century. Active from the 1920s onward, she engaged with both figurative subjects and geometric abstraction, working in oil, watercolor, and lithography. Her practice reflected shifting artistic currents of the twentieth century while maintaining a consistent engagement with formal innovation and social consciousness.
