Title:	Study of a Young Girl (Mai-Jean, Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tom, San Diego)
Artist:	Pulsifer, Wilhelmina Schutz 'Mina Pulsifer' (Leavenworth, Kansas, 1899 - San Diego, 1989)
Date:	c. 1949
Medium:	Original Lithograph
Note:	Wilhelmina Schutz Pulsifer 'Mina Pulsifer': A fine California artist, Wilhelmina Schutz Pulsifer was born and raised in Leavenworth, Kansas, and studied art at the Kansas City Art Institute under Nicolai Fechin. She moved to San Diego in 1924 and resumed her art studies at the San Diego Academy, under Eugene de Vol and Otto Schneider. She also took independent lessons in portraiture and figure studies from Frederick Taubes.
	Mina Pulsifer was a full member of the San Diego Art Guild and served as its President in 1944. Her art was included in many major California exhibitions, including the California Pacific International Exposition of 1935, the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco (1940), La Jolla Art Center (1943), the San Diego Fine Art Gallery (1948) and other important institutions. Today her original lithographs, engravings and woodcuts are housed in the collections of the Boston Public Library, the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, the Indianapolis Museum of Fine Art, the National Museum, Jerusalem, as well as in major public galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego.
	In the mid 1940's, Mina Pulsifer began to dedicate herself to the art of lithography. She was awarded the first prize in lithography from the San Diego Art Guild Annual only a year after creating her first lithograph. During that time, the Associated American Artists of New York commissioned three lithographs from her. Both La Familia (The Family) and Paulyn, (Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tom, San Diego) are original lithograph published by the A.A.A. in 1949. Study of a Young Girl (Mai-Jean, Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tom, San Diego) may also have been one of them since Paulyn and Mai-Jean are sisters and their portraits were created by Pulsifer around the same time. The Associated American Artists of New York was founded in the mid 1930's. It was to become a major forces in the promotion of original graphic art (fine art prints), throughout the United States and other countries. The firm would also include original paintings, watercolors, and other media as part of their inventory in later years. The A.A.A. commissioned original graphic art from such great masters as Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh and other major artists from around the world. All A.A.A. works of art were published in editions ranging from 125 to 250 impressions.
	This study of a young girl depicts the portrait of Mai-Jean, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tom of San Diego. It is a great example of Mina Pulsifer's lithographic art.
