New Orleans Museum of Art 286 ART IN CONTEMPORARY LOUISIANA IDA KOHLMEYER b. 1912, New Orleans, Louisiana d. 1997, New Orleans, Louisiana Nationally recognized as one of the most influential contemporary artists in Louisiana and the South, Ida Rittenberg Kohlmeyer was active as a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and art teacher in New Orleans. Although her art career did not begin until well after she was married and the mother of two daughters. Kohlmeyer’s art reflected a diverse range of styles and influences during the 1950s, including Realism, Regionalism, and Abstract Expressionism. However, during the 1960s through the 1980s, her work transcended those influences as she developed her unique vision and style, incorporating abstraction, a strong color sensibility, and the system of glyphs and pictographs that are most identified with her work.
