Dreier, Katherine Sophie

Katherine Sophie Dreier (September 10, 1877 – March 29, 1952) was an American artist, lecturer, patron of the arts, and social reformer.

Her sister Dorothea, a Post-Impressionist painter traveled and studied with her in Europe. She was most influenced by modern art, particularly by her friend Marcel Duchamp, and due to her frustration with the poor reception that the works received, she became a supporter of other artists.

The collection was donated to Yale University. Her works were exhibited in Europe and the United States, including the 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art.

Werner Drewes (1899–1985) was a painter, printmaker, and art teacher.

His mature style encompassed both nonobjective and figurative work and the emotional content of this work was consistently more expressive than formal.
