Women's History Month: Lenore Thomas Straus


Our last Women's History Month post is about artist Lenore Thomas Straus, whose seminal sculptures are found throughout Greenbelt, such as the bas reliefs on the Community Center's front.

An accomplished sculptor, Thomas Straus worked for the Resettlement Administration in the late 1930s creating public art in #Greenbelt and DC's Langston Terrace. Her sculpture "Woman" was a gift to Greenbelt from her daughter.

Lenore Thomas Straus can be seen working on "Mother and Child," the centerpiece of #Greenbelt's Roosevelt Center. We currently have an exhibit about Thomas Straus. Please visit it to learn more about this amazing artist!

The discussion of Lenore Thomas Straus offers an interesting glimpse into the connection between art, history, and cultural expression. Her work provides meaningful insight into creative perspectives that deserve continued attention. I recently encountered a related discussion on https://360haz.com/, which also explored how different subjects can inspire thoughtful conversations and appreciation for artistic contributions.

When I first started exploring harmonium notes and sargam notes, I never expected to find such a beautiful connection between visual art and music-Lenore's Mother and Child centerpiece at the Roosevelt Center absolutely captures that spirit, and I'd love to visit the museum exhibit someday.
