Biography “Lorraine Schneider, an artist raised in Boyle Heights whose 1966 print, ‘Primer,’ decrying war has been an iconic image … She was born Lorraine Art in Chicago in 1925, but moved with her family to Los Angeles just a couple years later. Her father, Sam (originally surnamed Ordzek) was from Poland and mother Eva Chayet hailed from Russia. The Art family resided near City Terrace for a period and then later lived closer to the focal point of Brooklyn Avenue and Soto Street. Sam Art was a tailor and a route man for a linen supply company; Eva had an artistic background, and Lorraine's formative years spent in working-class and multi-ethnic Boyle Heights had a tremendous impact on her. In a biographical sketch found on the website for Another Mother for Peace, a non-profit organization founded in 1967, it is stated that she was profoundly affected by the forced relocation of Japanese-Americans to camps and the attacks on Chicano and black ‘zoot suiters’ during World War II. Lorraine attended U.C.L.A. and studied art, but ended her studies to become an occupational therapist, working in army hospitals where she saw first-hand the devastating results of war on the soldiers she worked with. She completed her college studies at U.C. Berkeley and went to work briefly as a teacher in the Bay Area before marrying Stan Schneider, whom she met at U.C.L.A. She then devoted herself to her family, including four children. In 1960, she returned to school, taking graduate courses in printmaking at San Fernando Valley State College, now Cal State Northridge, and launched into a new phase of her life as an artist, in which printmaking, sculpture and painting were joined in an exciting type of art, but maintaining her foremost commitment to her family. The creation of ‘Primer’ came as an entry in an exhibition, in which entries were limited to works that were only 4" square! Consequently, it was an imperative to create something striking and simple to make the greatest visual effect, but the message of the work took the entry into another dimension. The impact of the work was so significant that she was invited to speak at the United Nations Non-Governmental Disarmament Conference in Geneva in 1972. Just a few days after returning home from Europe, Lorraine, who had been battling cancer for some time, was admitted to the hospital and died on November 6th. She was just 47 years old.” SHIPPING/PICK-UP: The shipping will be flat rate of $50 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 U.S. states.
