- Manon Cleary (November 14, 1942 – November 26, 2011) was an American artist active in Washington, D.C. who specialized in photo-realistic paintings and drawings. She often created works that studied the human form and light. Many of her works were inspired by events in her life. Cleary received her bachelor's at Washington University in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. She then went to Temple University, where she received her master's degree from the Tyler School of Art. Shortly after, Cleary moved to Washington D.C in 1970 where she worked at the University of the District of Columbia as a professor for thirty years. Cleary also used her role as professor to support local artists. Cleary's style of art is highly realistic (it is said that she would often win awards for her work in the photography category by mistake) and unique. To create many of her images, she worked in a reductive fashion by using graphite powder, tissues, and erasers. This style allowed her to create works that were softer and more personal, but still realistic. Cleary died in 2011, at the age of 69. She suffered for many years from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She was survived by her husband, F. Steven Kijek and her twin sister, Shirley Cleary-Cooper. Her work is held by many museums all over the country, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Brooklyn Museum, The Smithsonian American Art Museum, and The National Gallery of Art > She held numerous solo exhibitions and was a part of many exhibitions worldwide.
