Amo Erb was Jewish, an artist. According to one story, she had been in a Nazi concentration camp but the information known so far makes it unlikely.

She appears on the 1910 census in Denver, Colorado as Anne I. (1 year, 11 months) in the household of her father Maurice I. Feinberg (37). She was born in Colorado. The household consisted of her father, her mother Marie (30), her sister Beatrice E. Feinberg (8), and [her grandfather] Abraham Levitsky (58).

She appears on the 1930 census in Denver, Colorado as Arno Feinberg (21) in the household of her parents Maurice I. Feinberg (57) and Marie Feinberg (48). She was born in Colorado.

She appears on the 1940 census at 1294 Dahlia Street, Denver, Colorado as Amo F. Rudolph (31) with her husband David Rudolph (34). She was born in Colorado, and lived at the same place in 1935. Their household consisted of their son Richard L. (5), and a servant Dorothea Bailey (24).

An Art Exhibit

The Art Club of Oxnard has announced two new exhibits for October.

Mrs. Tillman (Amo) Erb, who signs her paintings “Amo,” will be the club’s artist of the month and 29 of her paintings will hang in the Ventura and Oxnard rooms and the lobby of the Oxnard Civic Auditorium.

According to Mrs. Erb, her work “has been termed expressionist, representational, non-objective, abstract and realistic,” which means, she says, “that I enjoy experimentation with all media in color and line to form composition and my goal is to achieve a rhythmic expression in which form may penetrate form and color may penetrate color with some objectivity but more emotion.”

She has studied with Josephine Kopenhagen, Ted Gilien and Arnold Mesches and has had many exhibitions in northern and southern California.

Her paintings hang in 35 private collections and four of these were shipped down for the current exhibit.
