My mother-in-law was one of Pruett Carter’s primary models in the 40s and was very close to the Carter family…in fact, her wedding was at their home and he gave the bride away. We have pictures of the wedding ceremony and reception in the house, along with snapshots they sent to my mother-in-law of their home being built and we also have paintings he gifted to my husband with the saying, “I thought you might like a picture of your Mama just for fun…Love Grandpappy Pruett.” Interesting history and we don’t know very much…but we do enjoy looking at her studio shots and appreciate the friendship they had so many years ago! I would love to find some of the magazine covers she was on!

I just purchased a pruett carter painting. It is a Indian with white stripes on his face. Very imposing, demands to be noticed. This peice of art takes over the entire room. Does anyone know the name for this art?

Mr. Jaussaud, I recently purchased a Pruett Carter painting and am trying to find out more about it.

Do you think that the gentleman in this painting may be your father:

Do you know anything about the story it may have illustrated, or the female model?

I found this blog via google. As I understand it, my father modeled for Pruett Carter in the early 50′s and his likeness seems to show up in some of Mr. Carter’s later illustrations. I would be very interested to learn about, find, and/or potentially purchase the original of “Do-It-Yourself Decorators”. It’s featured in a beer ad that was published in Colliers on 3/16/1956. The ad says that the illustration is #118 in the series “Home Life in America”. Any information would be very much appreciated. Thanks – Steve Jaussaud

Dear Linda,
Please feel free to contact me via email –
I’m happy to send you photos of our house and/or photos of the works we have.

I’m interested in hearing more about your Aunt so I can share with my older brother and sister. That is of course if you are interested.

thank you !

Honora, I was happy to read your post. Pruett Carter was married to my aunt. My grandmother traveled from Georgia USA to CA to ID the bodies. I saw pictures of their house as a child but never was there.
Very Interesting to me.
