New Deal Tugboat Art (2/5): "Tug Boats" by Shizu Utsunomiya

Above: "Tug Boats," a watercolor by Shizu Utsunomiya, created while the artist was in the WPA's Federal Art Project, ca. 1938. I didn't find any information on Utsunomiya on the Internet, however a December 3rd, 1939 edition of the Ogden Standard-Examiner newspaper (Ogden, Utah) discussed an exhibit of art at the Utah Art Center in Salt Lake City, consisting of watercolor paintings and photographs, called "Scenes of San Francisco." One of Shizu Utsunomiya's paintings of San Francisco, "Cityscape," was part of the exhibit. Image courtesy of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
