0.3 Linear feet
Box 1, OV 2
Five letters written by Louise Marianetti describe her daily life and art to her brother who was in the United States Army during World War II. Marianetti includes drawings of people and landscapes, as well as three self-portraits. The illustrated letters are in watercolor and acrylic paint. A dismantled notebook dates from the 1940s and contains notes likely taken by Marianetti during art school. The notebook contains scattered sketches and handwritten and typed notes on technical techniques of William C. Palmer on painting furniture and other applied arts. Two photographs are modern copyprints of Marianetti's paintings, one of which includes annotations on the verso. Also found in the papers are published instructional manuals for drawing, painting in watercolor, preparing canvas, lettering, and glues for sizing linen, as well as price lists for paints and frames.
