Emerson, Louise

(1901-1974)

A founder of the  ‘45 Group, Emerson acted as the ‘45 Group chairman for most all of its events, many of which involved exhibitions during the ‘40’s at the Kenneth Taylor Gallery. She was also a stalwart AAN volunteer. She lived on Washington Street near the Levine family and the Kerr School of Art. Her friendships with Charlotte Kimball and Isabelle Tuttle inspired them to try the occasional collage piece. She was a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design
