Biographical / Historical:
Aimée Brown Price (1939- ) is an American art historian based in New York City.
Peter Krasnow (1886-1979) was a painter, sculptor, and printmaker who lived and worked primarily in Southern California. He was born on August 20, 1886 in the Ukraine to Jewish parents. Krasnow emigrated to the United States in 1907 and moved to Los Angeles in 1922 with his wife Rose (1885-1984). Earlier in his career, Krasnow created watercolor paintings of landscapes and wood carvings, but beginning in 1934, he began to create paintings which depicted geometric designs and often incorporated symbolism from his Jewish heritage. Krasnow continued to paint until his death on October 30, 1979 in Los Angeles.

Research material consists of slide dividers; correspondence and notes related to collectors of Krasnow's works; inventory notes; writings and printed material; photographs; slides; and research material regarding Sadakichi Hartmann. The slide dividers each have an annotation on them that highlight the various eras and mediums that Krasnow worked in throughout his career. Correspondence consist primarily of conversations between Price and individuals who either owned pieces by Krasnow or had information about individuals who did, showing the widespread impact of his work. Price's notes reiterate the information she received from the correspondence. Inventory notes document the conditions of and pieces found in Krasnow's studio after his death. The inventory notes concerning his artwork, dating from circa 2021, often have sketches of the piece in question alongside a description of it. Writings and printed material include two exhibition announcements, but mainly consist of articles and papers both written by others about Krasnow and written by Krasnow about himself, showing how others thought of him and his art, as well as how he personally viewed his life and work. Five print photographs depict some of Krasnow's pieces, but the majority of photographic material consists of slides. These slides depict his work and are sorted by owner, showing who had what pieces in their collection. A variety of material, including correspondence, notes, and printed material (mostly copies of The Sadakichi Hartmann Newsletter dating from 1970 to 1975) relate to Sadakichi Hartmann, an author and art critic of German and Japanese descent. Price appears to have researched Hartmann in tandem with Krasnow, and many copies of The Sadakichi Harmtmann Newsletter are addressed to Krasnow, indicating that he had an interest in Hartmann as well.
