CREATORS
* Julia Hall McCune (American, 1882–1971) - artist
Julia Hall McCune American, 1882-1971
A prominent society figure involved with more than a dozen charitable causes, Julia McCune Flory was active as an artist throughout her life. Born Julia Hall McCune in Newark, Ohio, to an artistic family, she was an early model and the first photography student of Clarence H. White; she worked in the pictorial style of her teacher. Graduating from nearby Denison University, she moved to New York to study at the Art Students League and the New York School of Art, presumably concentrating on painting and printmaking. Soon after, she married Walter Flory, a Cleveland attorney, and settled in Cleveland Heights to raise their three children.
An energetic and active woman, Julia Flory continued to produce art in a variety of forms, exhibiting her paintings and prints at the Dayton Institute of Art, the National Arts Club of New York, Denison University, and for several decades in the Cleveland Museum of Art's May Show, a regional jured exhibition. She also illustrated numerous essay, travel, and children's books and was a set designer for the Cleveland Play House. Flory was a charter member of the Cleveland Print Makers and served as president of the Cleveland Art Association and on the advisory board of the Cleveland Art School. K.L.C.
