About the Item

Joseph Margulies (1896–1984) was a Vienna-born American painter and printmaker. Joseph Margulies was born in Vienna, Austria in 1896. He immigrated to the United States at an early age. Margulies studied at the Art Students League of New York with the printmaker Joseph Pennell (1857–1926), from 1922 to 1925. Margulies then continued his studies at the National Academy of Design, Cooper Union in New York City, and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He also apprenticed with Maynard Waltner in Vienna. Margulies died in 1986. Margulies is best known for his portrait prints and seascapes of the New England coast, as typified by Gloucester Fisherman. The Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, Ohio), the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery (Washington D. C.) and Yale University Art Gallery are among the public collections holding work by Joseph Margulies. He is a significant Jewish immigrant artist from the first part of the 20th century from the generation of Russian, Polish, Austrian and German jews who brought their talent and ambition to NYC. Their genre scenes, folk tale illustrations, portraits and character studies evoke nostalgia for a communal Shtetl past, solemn awareness of the fragility of life and deep reverence for tradition. Their lithographs, etchings, engravings and woodcuts skillfully capture a bygone world Ilya Schor, Max Weber, William Auerbach-Levy, Anatoli Kaplan, Jakob Steinhardt, Isidor Kaufmann, Hermann Struck, Tully Filmus, Arbit Blatas, and Issachar Ber Ryback amongst others. His work is in numerous museum collections.
