Abstract	"The Oyen Collection is a group of designs done by artists and workmen employed by Odin J. Oyen in his decorating business. Ranging from preliminary drawings to finished watercolors, these designs show each of the steps from idea to final painting. Because the Oyen firm decorated almost every possible type of building, these designs give the present viewer a better understanding of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Subject matter and style of execution vary through time and partially depend upon their intended use. The Oyen firm clearly suited the subject of the paintings to the use of the building.” – Dr. Leslie F. Crocker in “A Catalog of the Oyen Collection,” 1979.
