INTERESTING NOTESlxi

Son of the painter Adam Emory Albright and twin brother of the painter and sculptor Malvin Marr Albright (Zsissily). Ivan was named after the way Adam's father used to swear in Dutch “I van!” His poetry was published in Creative Writing in 1939 and he contributed to the Chicago Daily News on book reviews. He was not too interested in finances and often took carpentry jobs to support his lack of sales in paintings. Until age 47 he lived with his parents which also provided a means of financial security before marrying the wealthy Josephine; he could afford to spend a great deal of time on each meticulous painting and hence his total output was relatively limited.lxii Discussion of Albright appears in George A. Flanagan, Understanding and Enjoying Modern Art (Crowell, 1962); Katharine Kuh, The Artist's Voice, Talks with Seventeen Artists (Harper & Row,1962); Break-Up: The Core of Modern Art (New York Graphic Society, 1965).

His painting Wherefore Now Ariseth the Illusion of a Third Dimension, was given a two page color spread in Life magazine, 3/17/1944.

iFor an interesting brief essay on the artist see, “Ivan Albright 1897-1983,” American Paintings and Sculpture to 1945 In The Carnegie Museum of Art, (New York: Hudson Hills Press, 1992), p.41-43.
