The following is from Harriet Shaplan of Champaign, Illinois:

My husband and I knew Maud and Thornton Utz when we lived on Siesta Key,
Sarasota, FL. in the 1980s. We bought the Greenhouse Restaurant (now called
the Summerhouse) and Thornton had a lovely nude painting (Greenhouse Nude) hanging at the base of the stairs that eventually made its way to our home where it hung for several years. Prints had been made of it and Thornton wanted it to hang in a more public place so the painting was moved to the Museum of Modern Art in Dallas.

Later it was bought by a Frenchman named Francoise Gardinier who owned a phosphate plant in FL. He hung the Greenhouse Nude in a resort he bought on Longboat Key called Far Horizons and later moved it to France.

I have 3 large original oil nudes painted by Thornton, one being "Snowfall" which was made into prints, and several prints from his nude collection. Thornton was also commissioned to do portraits of some famous people.   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 4097 characters.]  Artist bio
