Here is a draft catalogue of the Stella's art. It is not complete. She painted over 500 portrait miniatures, many oil portraits, charcoal, pastel and other drawings. It is pieced together by studying old documents, photographs, letters and press coverage. I have shown images and prints of some of Stella's work and hope to gradually add more. I also hope to add further information about individual works, creating a catalogue raisonné. Where possible I have indicated the year painted or, at least, the "year or earlier" painted. At the end is a list of works where I have not yet got a good fix on the date. By giving names, places and dates where possible I hope some people may recognize themselves or relatives, especially if they are in possession of one of the miniatures. I hope all this will be useful to establish provenance. Please contact me if you have corrections, additions or any interesting facts about individual works.
The art of the miniature is creeping back towards the magnificent competency of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries......the present exhibition indicates the change in tendency, a change no only towards greater competency, but also towards the freedom of modern technics .... Stella Lewis Marks works in two manners, one the manner of the line sketch, the other the manner of the wash drawing. In both she says what she has to say in a personal way and makes her clear impression of doing a small thing in a large spirit." - The New York Times, 4 April 1916
The inside page of Stella Marks' Book Displaying Photographs of some of Her work
"I love to paint the large portraits in oils as much as ever, [but] I am enjoying the miniatures more and more all the time. I realise that the field is unlimited, that each one adds something different to the building up of a great art. One of the most encouraging things I have noticed since I have been in New York is the way people crowded that room where a famous collection of miniatures was exhibited........What I am hoping will happen soon is that the art critics will cease to add casually to their criticisms of exhibitions the remark 'a few miniatures were also shown,' and give these a place that they deserve in the field of art - Stella Lewis Marks, 1916"Your miniatures are more like Cosway's than any I have ever seen" - Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt (source: The Sun, 17 January 1926)
"A good miniature must have all the drawing, composition and knowledge that goes into making up a large portrait. It is in fact a portrait in water colours.......to achieve that the artist has to be swift and direct in her work" - Stella Lewis Marks, 'The Dominion' February 11, 1938

The Independent article comments that ".... the portraits of Mrs. Richards F. Maynard by Wm. J. Whittemore, of Mrs. John W. Warburton by Stella Lewis Marks, of Miss Browning by Maria J. Strean, and of Mrs. Hasselbrus by her husband must convince every visitor that Nature has not ceased to be an inspiring model. There are, indeed portraits in this collection of miniatures that are no better than colored photographs, but these four, with several of lesser excellence, are pure works of art in being not mere copies but beautiful illustrations of life, and not the worse for not having to serve as demonstrations of a theory."
