Painter and printmaker native to New York. Citron was born in Brooklyn and studied at the Art Students League alongside John Sloan and Kenneth Hayes Miller, both of whom influenced her works later on. She had her first solo show at the New School for Social Research in 1930. In 1934, Citron began working with the 14th Street School, a small group of Realist painters such as Moses and Raphael Soyer. She painted murals for the Works Progress Administration before permanently switching to an abstract style. Her works can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the National Museum of American Art.
