I would love to share a piece of art with you all. This piece has not been seen by anyone other than friends and family since 1977. Anyway, this painting is a little special, because it was created by a local artist named Lee Csuri.

Now maybe you don't know who she is, but you may have heard of her husband. Her husband was Charles, or Chuck, Csuri. Charles played football at the Ohio State University, but that's not what he is most noted for. Charles Csuri is known as the pioneer of Computer-Based Art! You can read his full biography at the csuriproject web-site. He also has a blog, but it does not really mention Lee and the posts stopped in March.

I have looked for Lee on the internet, but really haven't found much about her. She has art around town I'm sure, but the only peice I've been able to find other than the one my parents own is the "Sky Women" sculpture that lives at the Inniswood Metro Gardens. This statue was stolen and returned, which got it into the headlines.

"Sky Women" sculpture


I do not remember the title of my parents painting, but here it is. Enjoy it, it's a beautiful painting, very earthy, and has a hell of a message. You can hear it gently in the air when you look at this painting, "just get along".

If anyone has any information on Lee, any images of her work or display locations, please leave me a comment. Charles and Lee are still actively creating art and I hope to be in contact with them soon. I will post details as I get them.
