Grace Clements (artist)

[6] She studied art under Kenneth Hayes Miller and Boardman Robinson in New York City from 1925 to 1930.

[3] She had a 1931 solo show at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in which 21 of her paintings were presented.

[1][3] In addition, she was the first of the group to lay out its theoretical underpinnings, which she did in the March 1936 article "New Content—New Form" in the journal Art Front, published by the American Artists' Congress.

Her works include the 1942 murals and ceramic tiles in the Long Beach Airport, collectively titled Communication (Aviation and Navigation);[3][11] The History of Aviation, a Federal Art Project fresco painted with Jean Goodwin Ames at Charles A. Lindbergh Middle School in Long Beach;[12] a mosaic at the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium (then the largest cut-tile mosaic in the United States);[7] and Reconsideration of Time and Space.

Clements married journalist Thayer Waldo in 1938, and the couple moved to the Bay Area in the late 1940s.
