EDGAR
YAEGER (1904-1997). Yaeger, born in Detroit is considered
to be one of the first American Modernists.
His
working life extended for more than six decades during
which he traveled and studied with and was influenced
by some of Europes greatest painters.He studied with Andre
LHote in Paris and was juried into the Carnegie Institute
competition by Henri Matisse who much admired Yaegers
work.As a celebrated modernist, Yeager has exhibited in
many of the most prestigious arts institutions in the
nation, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the
Smithsonian Institute, the Corcoran Gallery, and the Art
Institute of Chicago. He was much in demand as a WPA artist
painting numerous murals in the Detroit area. An interesting
note: Yaeger never purchased a tube of paint.He ground
and tubed all his paints himself becausehe
felt that the colors were fresher that way.
