The Life and Art of Ruth Armer

Born in San Francisco, United States, Ruth Armer was an American abstractionist painter, teacher, art collector, and lithographer. Her artistic journey began with studies at the California School of Fine Arts and the School of Fine and Applied Art in New York, where she studied under George Bellows, Robert Henri, Kenneth Hayes Miller, and John Sloan. Armer's work was deeply influenced by her experiences living in California, often drawing subject matter from the California desert and the cityscapes of San Francisco. She was regarded as one of San Francisco's more profound abstractionists, and her art is held in the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
