A vintage finger painting on paper painting by American Ruth Faison Shaw?˙(1889 ??1969) measuring approximately 4 1/4 ?? 6 1/4 inches behind glass in a vintage frame measuring approximately 7 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches. Brilliant colors and good condition as pictured. Unsigned but I guarantee it is her work as it came with a signed Shaw listed in my gallery and its unquestionably her style. Thanks for looking. Ruth Faison Shaw?˙(1889 ??1969) was an American artist, educator who is credited with introducing?˙finger painting?˙into the USA as an art education medium. She developed her techniques while working in?˙Rome, Italy, patenting a safe non-toxic paint in 1931. Shaw was born in?˙Kenansville, North Carolina, on October 15, 1889. She graduated from a Presbyterian girls school, the James Sprunt Institute, in 1906, after which time she gained some experience as (an untrained) school teacher in the?˙Appalachian Mountains. In 1918 Shaw travelled to Italy with the?˙Young Women's Christian Association?˙(YWCA), before setting up a school in Rome. Shaw is credited with developing the art of?˙finger painting?˙and later introducing it into the American education system. ?˙She later claimed she had been inspired when she saw a child smearing iodine onto a wall, realising children liked to 'smear'. ?˙This event took place in 1926, when Shaw had already founded an experimental school, the Shaw School, for English-speaking children. Shaw developed the techniques and materials required for finger painting. In 1931 she patented a gelatinous paint medium that would be safe for children. Shaw returned to the USA in 1932. She took a job in the progressive Dalton School in?˙New York City, where she introduced finger painting to the curriculum. An exhibition of finger painting art took place in?˙Manhattan?˙in 1933. She published a book in 1934, titled?˙Finger Painting: A Perfect Medium for Self-Expression. Shaw came to be seen as a pioneer in progressive education. She was invited to lecture about finger painting and organize exhibitions. ?˙She started a factory in New York to produce her paint. ?˙Finger painting workshops were started for adults. In 1942 she became a lecturer at?˙Teachers College, Columbia University. Shaw died in?˙Fayetteville, North Carolina?˙in 1969.[2] Region of Origin: US.
