Young Museum. She also had shows in New York and Paris. Despite these shows, Shore struggled financially during the Depression and slipped into relative obscurity, just as Weston began to achieve fame. Like many artists during this time, Shore relied on government commissions for income. In 1936 she received a commission for six murals from the Treasury Department's Section of Painting and Sculpture. These murals, like many New Deal art commissions, focus on scenes of industry and work. Shore painted four lunettes for the Santa Cruz Post Office: Fishing Industry, Limestone Quarry Industry, Artichoke industry, and Brussel Sprouts Industry. She painted Artichoke Pickers in the Old Customhouse in Monterey and Monterey Bay 1880-1910 in the Monterey Post Office. These murals were her last prominent works. Later life and death 1950–1963 Shore spent her last years in poverty. She had to sell her Weston photographs to survive and became increasingly depressed. In 1951 her studio was at the Sundial Lodge on Monte Verde Street and 7th Avenue, in Carmel. She once gave the lodge owner, Allen Knight, a painting as her rent payment. Sometime in the late 1950s her neighbors had her institutionalized. Her friend, Jehanne Bietry Salinger, said about the matter, "some so-called 'do-gooders' went to her studio, found it disorganized, and had Henrietta committed to an asylum. If I had been in Carmel, I would never have permitted it, since she was in no way insane. I still can not think about this without being heartbroken." Shore died in 1963 at the age of 83 in a mental institution in San Jose, California. Legacy Unlike Edward Weston and Georgia O'Keeffe, Henrietta Shore and her work mostly fell into obscurity after her death. A posthumous show of her work was organized by the Carmel Art Association. Her unsold work was divided between her surviving nephews, Osborne Shore Hollinrake and Wendall Shore. She was included in Origins of Abstraction in Canada: Modernist Pioneers organized by the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa in 1994.
