Date:	1932
Medium:	Original Lithograph
Note:	Reginald Leslie Grooms 'Reginald Grooms': One of Cincinnati's most distinguished artists and art educators, Reginald Leslie Grooms began his education at the age of seventeen at the Cincinnati Art Academy. He remained there five years studying under such instructors as John Weis, James Hopkins and William Hentschell. In 1923, Reginald Grooms left for Paris to study at the Academie Julian, under Jules Pages and Paul Albert Laurens. One of his fellow American classmates was Grant Wood. While in Paris, Grooms was invited to exhibit his paintings at the Spring Salons held at the Grande Palais in both 1924 and 1925. He was the youngest American artist to receive this distinction.
	Reginald Grooms returned to Cincinnati late in 1925 to assume teaching positions at both the Cincinnati Art Academy and the University of Cincinnati School of Applied Arts. He eventually became the Chairman of the Fine Arts Department at the University and held that post until 1965. He thus provided a major influence upon Cincinnati artists for over forty years.
	During his career, Reginald Leslie Grooms exhibited his paintings and original prints at such major venues as the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Butler Art Institute, the Pan American fine Arts Exhibit (1935), the New York World's Fair, the San Francisco World's Fair (1939) and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He was a full member of the Scarab Club, the American Society for Aesthetics, the Ohio Watercolor Society and the Cincinnati Art Club.
	Created in 1932, The Scissors #11 is a delightful example of Reginald Leslie Grooms's art. The subject is of course the sport of wrestling and the finely delineated joys and pains one receives from it.
Edition:	Reginald Grooms did not note the edition size for Scissors #11. As with many of the prints created during the years of the Great Depression, however, it is safe to assume that only a handful of impressions were printed.
