Minna Wright Citron
American painter and printmaker, 1896–1991
In the 1940s, Citron embraced abstraction and became associated with Atelier 17, the influential printmaking workshop in New York where she explored experimental techniques and embraced psychological and surrealist influences, incorporating spontaneity and chance into her process. Throughout her life, she remained deeply engaged with contemporary movements and continued to exhibit and teach into her later years. A strong supporter of women's rights, she aligned with feminist ideals, especially in the 1970s, though she did not formally participate in activist groups. Citron’s work is held in numerous public collections, including the Georgia Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art. She was honored in 1985 with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Caucus for Art and continued creating art well into her nineties before her death in New York City in 1991.
