The Art of Mildred Fox Arnold

While still teaching high school, Mildred was invited to join Group Twelve, a dozen St. Louis artists and designers—among them the Rev. William E. Doyle, S.J., George and Lorraine Gergeceff, Murial Braeutigam and Natalie Liebmann—who met each week for studio work and discussion to continue their professional development. One of her oils, “Boy on Stool,” was produced during this period. Group Twelve held a 1968 exhibition of their work at Ursuline Art Gallery in nearby Kirkwood, Missouri. Mildred
exhibited four oils: her 1935 “German Church” and three recent works, the abstract still life ”Bottles,” “Italian Wheat,” and “Structures,” which has been described as houses that are “climbing a hill.”
