Constance Ortmayer
Constance Ortmayer (July 19, 1902 – May 15, 1988) was an American artist well known for designing the 1936 Cincinnati Musical Center half dollar. Ortmayer was inspired to become an artist by her father, Rudolph Ortmayer, who worked as a lithographer. In 1926, Ortmayer began studying under Austrian born sculptor Franz Plunder. She graduated from the Royal Academy in Vienna, Austria and studied Master School of the Royal Academy. Upon returning to the United States in 1932, Ortmayer found difficulty gaining employment. With the assistance of her friend, a tutor of Treasury secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr. Ortmayer became employed with the Section of Painting and Sculpture, coordinating design contests for federal buildings. In 1937, she ended her employment with the Section. Soon after, she was recruited as a sculpture instructor at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida by the current president, Hamilton Holt. Ortmayer was awarded commissions to design and create two bas reliefs for post offices in Arcadia, Florida and Scottsboro, Alabama as a result of her entering a national design competition. The Arcadia relief, completed in 1939, is titled ''Arcadia''. It features five people (two men, a woman and two children) with a cow and her calf. The second relief, completed in 1940, is titled ''Alabama Agriculture''. It features three separate panels, each depicting different stages of crop harvest. In 1941, Ortmayer was promoted to assistant professor of sculpture in 1941. In 1945, she was further promoted to associate professor. She reached the status of professor of sculpture in 1947. During her career at Rollins, Ortmayer created a number of award–winning medals. Ortmayer retired in 1968. She died on May 15, 1988.
==Early life and employment at the Section of Painting and Sculpture==
Constance Ortmayer was born July 19, 1902 in New York.〔Starck, Jeff (29 March 2010). "Cincinnati Music Center Coin Designer Has Varied Career". ''Coin World''. p. 58.〕 Her interest in art was inspired by her father, who worked as a lithographer.〔 However, according to an article in the November 15, 1957 edition of the ''Rollins College Sandspur'', Ortmayer became interested in sculpting due to her tutor.〔 In 1926, Ortmayer began studying under Austrian–born sculptor Franz Plunder.〔 Ortmayer spent five years in Europe, graduating from the Royal Academy in Vienna. While in Europe, she also studied under Josef Müllner at the Master School of the Royal Academy.〔 In 1932, Ortmayer returned to the United States. After returning, she found difficulty attaining steady employment.〔 Upon discovering Ortmayer's predicament, her friend, tutor of Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau and his wife, recommended her for a position in the Section of Painting and Sculpture. Ortmayer secured employment in the Section coordinating design contests that were established to help young artists compete with more well known figures in securing government commissions.〔 In 1937, Ortmayer resigned her position in order to teach at Rollins College because she was interested creating her own sculptures, something she couldn't do during her time at the Section due to time restrictions.〔
