In the theme of celebrating love, let’s take a look at the marriage and love story of Joanna Beall Westermann and H.C. Westermann. “From the very beginning, our perception of Joanna and Cliff was that they were artists,
loving husband and wife, and creative adventurers.” The couple met in June of 1957 in Chicago, when Joanna was completing her BFA at the School of the Art Institute. They married in 1959, and eventually settled on Joanna’s family estate in Connecticut where they built a home and two art studios. In 1967, Cliff dedicated a portion of his practice to building Joanna a studio in the woods behind their home. Their marriage is a testament to their symbiotic relationship both as artists and lovers. “They were young and beautiful and oh so cool. They walked on their hands and always smelled of paint and turpentine, drank imported beer and smoked ci******es. We soaked it up.”
1. Joanna’s studio on the couples property in Brookfield, Connecticut.
2. Joanna Beall Westermann, Love - joy- joys. Ink, watercolor, collage on paper. 10 3/4 x 9 5/8 inches.
3. Joanna and Cliff pictured together.
