"Dockside with Seagull, " Important Painting by WPA Artist Stull
About the Item
Brilliantly painted in rich hues of cerulean, purple, deep pink and burnt siena, this abstracted view of a dockside scene was painted by John De Forest Stull. The artist shows many iconic symbols of the fishing dock, including half-submerged posts, a massive iron cleat, and a concrete pier, surmounted by a seagull surrounded by an aureole of sky. Stull graduated from Yale in 1933, then worked with Ezra Augustus Winter on the murals of Radio City Music Hall before involving himself in one of two New Jersey chapters of the Works Progress Administration/Federal Arts Project.

- William Gropper Important New York Artist and Caricaturist Painting, "Mug-Wump"By William GropperLocated in Phoenix, AZPolitically charged oil on canvas by Depression Era New York artist William Gropper. Painting measures: 20" H x 16" W. Frame measures: 24" H x 20" W. Signed lower right and in excellent condition. Created circa 1930s. Titled on the verso “Mug-Wump”. Provenance: Two Gallery Labels seen on the verso; Heritage Gallery, L.A. & Rowe Gallery, San Francisco. A mugwump was known as a person who remained independent (as in politics), one who remained undecided or neutral, not taking a definitive side. One whose “mug” was on one side of the fence and whose “wump” was on the other, so to speak. New-York born artist William Gropper (1897-1977) was a painter and cartoonist who, with caricature style, focused on social concerns. During the 1930s, working as a part of the Federal Arts Project, he produced some of the most gripping social protest works of the Great Depression. Subjects included industrial strikes, especially in the coal mining and steel-production centers. He did much illustration-cartoon work for the New York Tribune newspaper, Vanity Fair magazine and the politically 'left-wing' publication, "New Masses." Some of his other pieces focused on the hypocrisy of government figures, especially members of the United States Senate...Category
