Description & Details
THE COLLECTION AND WORKS OF LORRAINE L. PARMAN (1919-2021)
Hudson Estate Sales is liquidating selections from the estate of Lorraine L. Parman, a highly prolific yet undiscovered artist, and collector of Victorian art and Eastlake antiques. Parman was a devotee of Victorian handwork, or, “Fancy work,” as it was sometimes referred to, and in her own work she painstakingly created elaborate bouquets of seashells, meticulous paintings made of tiny glass beads, shadowboxes of dried flowers, "Tinsels," or, reverse painting on glass with reflective elements and “theorems,” a method of painting on fabrics using stencils. A talented perfectionist whose paintings, needlework, shellwork, sewing and crewelwork rivaled that of the exquisite Victorian art she admired and collected. This sale lovingly features a limited number pieces of the art she made and the antiques she collected.

Parman graduated from Pratt Institute in and worked as a greeting card illustrator before her marriage. Her Victorian revivalist work from the 1960s remains faithful to Victorian tradition, yet hints there was a lot going on the mind of this Chappaqua stay-at-home mother. Having grown up among art by her great-grandfather, painter Joseph A. Bruce (early Barnum and Bailey artist), Parman’s artwork was her life, and her surroundings were a world of her own creation. Other than what she sold to admirers, antique stores and the American Folk Museum, she lived and worked in relative obscurity, with limited contact to the outside world. She practiced her art daily. Lorraine’s daughter Deborah recalls coming home after school, and habitually finding her mom painting at her preferred work surface, an ironing board.
