    Identification on accompanying note (typewritten): "Margo Hoff posing before her 'giant butterfly' painting, inspired by a visit to Southern Illinois orchads where the fragile vari-colored Lepidoptera swarm. An artist-in-residence at Southern Illinois University this year, Mrs. Hoff has been using area subjects for her work. This painting, executed on four veneer panels, features the one large butterfly at top, with smaller ones in rows in the center and in swarms at the bottom. Mrs. Hoff builds up the design for her paintings by pasting on cut-out cardboard strips or figures, then prints with flat oil color or acrylics. This is one of the paintings she will show in her one-man exhibition in the Banfer Gallery, New York City, Feb. 12-March 7."
