Ann Chernow
Ann Chernow, née Levy (born February 1, 1936 in New York City) is an American artist who is known for her portrait-style illustrations that evoke the images of female cinematic figures of the 1930s and 1940s.〔Barbara Cavaliere, "Ann Chernow," ''Arts Magazine'' (March 1, 1978): 14.〕〔Douglas P. Clement, "A Westport Artist Whose Inspiration Is Cinematic," ''Fairfield County Times Monthly'' (March 1, 1998): 22-24.〕〔Jules Heller and Nancy Heller, ''North American Women Artists of the Twentieth Century: A Biographical Dictionary'' (New York: Taylor and Francis, 2013): 123.〕〔Joyce Zimmerman, "Blue Monday," ''Woman: Where Women Make The News'' (August 1, 1998).〕 Born and raised in New York City, Chernow studied music and art from a young age; both appealed to her as forms of emotional expression. At around the same time that she acquired an affinity for the arts, Chernow was exposed to several movies that left a lasting impression and prompted her to make the likenesses of leading ladies. Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, and Katharine Hepburn were the subjects of some of her works in the late 1990s.〔 In most of her works, however, Chernow avoids specificity, choosing instead to portray universal situations through figures who are inspired by film but reinterpreted to transcend stereotypes.〔Herbert Lust, "Reel to Real," in ''Ann Chernow: A Catalogue Raisonné, Prints 1968–2000'' (West Haven, CT: Amity Art Foundation, 2001), 3–6.〕 Chernow has worked extensively in the mediums of lithography, silkscreen, etching, and colored pencil. She currently resides in Westport, Connecticut, and serves her community through the arts.〔〔Rita Papazian, "Westport artist brings to fruition the work of her late husband," ''Connecticut Post'' (March 8, 1998).〕
==Early life and education==
Born to Mollie Citrin and Edward Levy, Ann was the oldest of three girls.〔Deborah Frizzell, "Ann Chernow: Transforming Hollywood's Heroines." ''Woman's Art Journal'' 22 (2001): 34-39.〕 Her mother was an amateur singer and her father was a performing violinist, so she and her sisters received music and art lessons as children; Ann began at the age of 5.〔〔 Her first formal art education was at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester in the early 1940s, where she attended art classes in the museum galleries. After her family moved to Flushing in 1946, she studied under a local Italian painter, Giuseppe Trotta. Years after taking lessons with Trotta, she eventually entered the School of Fine Arts at Syracuse University in 1953, but transferred soon after to New York University, where she earned her Master of Arts degree in 1969.〔
As an undergraduate and graduate at NYU (1955–69), Chernow studied under the direction of several artists. Her instructors and mentors included Howard Conant, Jules Olitski, Irving Sandler, Lawrence Alloway, and Hale Woodruff, all of whom influenced her through their teachings and artistic viewpoints.〔 Toward the end of her academic education and for a few years afterward, she worked for the art educator Victor D’Amico, and taught at the studio school of the Museum of Modern Art (1966–71).〔
