About the Item
This is a carved glass panel. I belive this is milk glass. it is a classic Americana scene of a cowboy or frontier trapper and an Indian or Native American with a feathered headdress.
Abraham Harriton was a Romanian-born Jewish modernist artist and social realism painter in the United States.
Born in 1893 in Bucharest, then the Kingdom of Romania, Harriton studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City from 1908 until 1915. There, he studied under artists such as Kenyon Cox, Emil Carlsen and George DeForest Brush. Harriton himself later become a teacher at the Academy, and, like many other artists during the Great Depression, received commissions from the Works Progress Administration WPA, during the 1930s.
His social realist 1939 mural for the Augusta, Georgia post office Plantation, Transportation, Education, commissioned by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts, is on display at the Augusta Convention and Visitor's Bureau.
During that era, Harrinton had strong ties with the American Left, displaying his works at exhibits put on by the John Reed Club.References
