Louis Schanker (1903-1981) was a printmaker, painter, and muralist in Stamford, Connecticut. Prior to becoming an artist, Schanker ran away from home to join the circus, travelling around the country around the 1920s. In 1931-1932, Schanker took art classes at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. Between 1934 and 1939, Schanker completed 11 mural panels for the Neponsit Beach Hospital on Long Island, and murals for radio station WNYC and the Science and Health Building at the New York World's Fair. Schanker later taught at the New School and Bard College. Schanker was also a part of an artist protest group called The Ten, which opposed Americanscene painting at the Whitney Museum of Art.
