Idelle Weber was an American artist most closely aligned with the Op art and Photorealist movements. Weber attended Scripps College in Claremont, California. Briefly, Weber attended the Aspen Design Conference, which was deeply influential to her developing artistic style, introducing a graphic and bold aesthetic. She went on to study at UCLA with William Brice, Frederick S. Wight, and Stanton MacDonald-Wright. She received a B.A. in 1954 and an M.A. in 1955. After school she shared a studio with Craig Kauffman and Walter Hopps and the three of them became engaged with images of New York School abstraction. Weber’s art is displayed in over 15 public collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Fogg Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Museum of American Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
