Theodore Lukits
Theodore Nikolai Lukits (November 26, 1897 – January 20, 1992) was a Romanian American portrait and landscape painter. His initial fame came from his portraits of glamorous actresses of the Silent Film era, but since his death, his Asian-inspired works, figures drawn from Hispanic California and his pastel landscapes have all received greater attention.
Lukits began his professional career as an illustrator while still in his teens, but he was also a still life painter, muralist and founder of the Lukits Academy of Fine Arts in Los Angeles for more than sixty years. He had the reputation of a craftsman who made his own paints from raw pigments, constructed brushes, palettes and designed and carved frames. Lukits was responsible for keeping the "Beaux-Arts" methods of the French academic system alive in the western United States, and several of his students went on to prominent careers.〔Morseburg, Theodore Lukits, CAC Newsletter Articles〕 Works by Lukits are in a number of public collections. He was a member of a number of professional art organizations and won many awards in competitions. Lukits has been the subject of a number of solo museum exhibitions since his death, and his work has been included in a number of other museum exhibitions devoted to Tonalism and California and American Impressionism.
==Early history==
Lukits was born Nicolae Teodorescu in Timişoara, Transylvania, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His father, Theodore Lukits Senior, was a butcher and his mother was a homemaker. He came to the United States when his family immigrated in 1899, when he was two, and he grew up in St. Louis, Missouri.〔Ancestry.Com, U.S. Department of Immigration and Naturalization, Department of State Records. U.S. census records reveals Lukits Sr. was a butcher and sausage maker.〕 Lukits began formal studies at Washington University in St. Louis School of Fine Arts before he was twelve.〔Enrollment receipt in archival section of Theodore Lukits.

Miller (1875–1943) in St. Louis, who had returned home from the art colony of Givery and was staying with his parents.〔Who's Who in American Art, 1940–1941, Lukits Entry, Page 407. Miller's presence back in the U.S. is not well known but established by the 1910 U.S. census which shows him in St. Louis, Ancestry.Com records〕 Lukits left public school after the 8th grade in order to pursue a career in art, with the full cooperation of his parents. Lukits worked from an early age, first as an office boy and then as an airbrush artist, painting delicate girl's heads on leather.〔Theodore Lukits.
