James Penney
James Penney, Street Pavers (New York City)

1932

About the Item

James Penney was widely known for his New Yorker covers as well as his paintings and prints. This lithograph of male laborers, Street Pavers, reminds us of the back-breaking labor that supports us all. And of course the heavy industrial machinery is always appreciated. Penney was from Saint Joseph, Missouri. He trained in NYC at the Art Students League. The New-York Historical Society and the Library of Congress both have collections of his work. Signed in ink; titled, dated, and annotated 'Proof,' in pencil.
