Margery Ryerson
Seated Boy

c. 1920

About the Item

Margery Ryerson was a pupil of Charles Hawthorne at the Cape School of Art in Provincetown, MA and with Ashcan artist Robert Henri at the Art Students League in New York. For a twenty-year period (c.1920-40) Miss Ryerson taught art in New York settlement houses in exchange for the privilege of painting and drawing the children in their care. It was during this period that the artist created what many scholars regard as her greatest achievement, a series of paintings and fine prints depicting children of the underclass and immigrants with such respect and sensitivity that they found universal appeal and demand. In 1923 her book on the teachings of Henri, The Art Spirit, was published by Lippincott Company of Philadelphia and has been in continuous publication since. During her lifetime she was represented by Chapellier, Macbeth and Grand Central Art Galleries in New York. She also was a member of the National Academy of Design.

  • Rare Baltimore Harbor Oil Painting, Pratt Street Dock, ca 1950 - Rosalie Hamblin
    Located in Baltimore, MD
    This lively oil painting depicts Baltimore’s busy waterfront, specifically the former piers that lined Pratt Street in the Inner Harbor. Painted by local artist Rosalie Mills ( née Hamblin), the scene depicts the watermelon boats that berthed near Pier 5. The painting dates to the 1950’s. The historic buildings that once lined Pratt Street, before urban renewal clearance of the 1960’s, provide the background for the scene.
