notes: “Louise Schatz enjoyed working with watercolors already in the 1930’s, while she studied art at the California University in Berkley, CA. She interned under Margaret Peterson and the Japanese painter, Chuira Obata (1885-1975)… About 10 Japanese studies, which were left in the Louise Schatz Estate, were made in Obata’s classes dated 1936 or 1939. These were the years of “Japanese studies”. Some of them are signed by the teacher, and others are signed Louise Mclure. These are copies of traditional Japanese drawings, of Obata and others, some of them in ink and some in watercolors…Another painting depicts three Japanese women in Kimonos, marvelously decorated. The bodies, the arms and the dresses present a choreographic movement…. There is no doubt that in these studies made in Obata’s classes, Louise improved her watercolor technique and her paintings reached a new degree of spirituality.” (Gideon Ofrat, Louise Schatz 1916-1997, The Artists’ House, Jerusalem (2006), pp. 10-11).
