Abstract: Mae Babitz (1911-2003) illustrated architectural landmarks of Los Angeles from 1940 to 1970 and was instrumental in saving
Simon Rodia's Watts Towers from destruction. The collection includes artwork as well as personal correspondence and correspondence
with the City of Los Angeles with respect to exhibitions, acquisitions and saving the Towers. Babitz is most known for mid-century
illustrations of Los Angeles architecture, some of the only surviving records of buildings that no longer exist. Examples
include buildings at Bunker Hill, the Bradbury Building, Hollywood Hotel, Watts Towers, and various Victorian homes. A self-trained
artist, Babitz used pencil, quill and ink on watercolor paper; she painted at site, primarily of Victorian buildings. After
many years of working to get the City of Los Angeles to acquire Babitz's artwork for posterity, her daughter, Mirandi Babitz
donated the materials to UCLA in 2006. Collection consists of extensive personal and professional correspondence, personal
photographs, loose papers, exhibition fliers and booklets, newspaper and magazine clippings and ephemera of Mae Babitz's life
as an artist. In addition to personal and work related papers, the collection includes over 70 illustrations that were shown
in galleries and public buildings, and many other earlier sketches and drawings. Also included are correspondence and internal
documentation related to and generated by the Committee for Simon Rodia's Towers in Watts.

Biography
Mae Babitz, adventurer, historian, activist, preservationist, artist, wife and mother, was born in Crowley, Louisiana in 1911
to Cajun-French ancestry and baptized Lily May Josephine. Her childhood was spent in the oilfield boomtown, Spindletop, Texas.
Babitz moved to Los Angeles in 1934, worked as a secretary and fell in love with Los Angeles architecture. She married musician,
Sol Babitz, violinist and consultant to Igor Stravinsky. Igor and Vera Stravinsky became godparents of the Babitz children,
Eve and Mirandi. Mae Babitz started a career as an artist in the 1950s as buildings began to be demolished to make way for
postwar architecture styles. A self-trained artist, she illustrated primarily Victorian buildings on-site, using pencil, quill
and ink on watercolor paper. While some illustrations are in the private collections of the Stravinskys, Edward James and
Eugene Berman, most are here at UCLA. Babitz worked with Kate Steinitz and Dr. Elmer Belt in the Elmer Belt Library of Vinciana
at UCLA. During that time, Babitz helped found the Committee for Simon Rodia's Towers in Watts in 1959. The Committee lobbied
both the City of Los Angeles and private donors and held various fundraisers to successfully save the Watts Towers from destruction.
Babitz wrote a biography of Simon Rodia, the research of which included many interviews with Rodia and travelling to his birth
place in Italy. The Committee sponsored a documentary film as well. Babitz hosted regular meetings of like-minded artists,
poets and musicians, including Igor and Vera Stravinsky, Bernard Herrman, Ingolf Dahl, Kenneth Rexroth, Kenneth Pagent, Jellyroll
Morton. She and her husband helped found the Ojai Music Festival.
In the 1960s, Babitz began travelling to Europe with her husband who was awarded Fulbright and Ford Foundation fellowships
for European research in baroque musicianship. In these two decades, two major suites of illustrations were completed: "Vanishing
Los Angeles" and "The Ancients." Her artwork was showcased in various galleries including Los Angeles County Museum of Art,
California Institute of Technology and in private collections of Saul Steinberg, Milton Thomas, Vera Stravinsky, Kate Steinitz
and Edward James. Babitz was active in the local arts community, holding memberships in the Los Angeles Art Association, All-City
Art Festival, Committee for Simon Rodia's Towers (Founding member, Board member, Archivist), Elmer Belt Library (assistant
to Kate Steinitz), Hollywood Arts Council, Beverly Hills Arts League and Friends of the Municipal Gallery. Some of her awards
include the California Centennial Exhibition of Art award, Honorable Mention at the All City Art Festival (1957, 1964, 1972)
and the Los Angeles cultural Heritage Board Resolution award (1970). Sol, Mae and their daughter, Mirandi, spent many years
of working to get the City of Los Angeles to acquire Babitz's artwork for posterity. After all attempts proved fruitless,
Mirandi donated the materials to UCLA in 2006. Mae Babitz died in 2003 in Los Angeles.
