AFTER A CENTURY. Newark sleuth discovers artist By CHARLES BALLARD

NEWARK POST STAFF WRITER

OR almost a century post­ Fcard collectors have been captivated with the radiant images of an unknown artist. His clean cut lines, pastel colors and attention for detail brought to life scenes with beautiful women, animals, mystical crea­ tures and meticulous back­ grounds. Luckily, Samuel L. Schmucker is finally getting his recognition, thanks in part to Dorothy Ryan of Newark. Her persistent detective work helped to put a name to the artwork. An exhibit at The University Gallery at the University of Delaware offers visitors a chance to see the result of Ryan's hard work. The gallery hosts the first ever exhibit of Schmucker's original pieces. Ryan has been collecting postcards her entire life and has thousands to display, However, she has always been fascinated with Schmucker's work. "His pieces have always stood out," she said. "I wanted NEWARK POST PHOTO BY CHARLES BALLARD to know who he was." Dorothy Ryan's persistent detective work helped identify the artwork Samuel L. Schmucker.
