Exhibited: "Hugo Gellert", Mary Ryan Gallery, New York, NY, 1986.
With the Great Depression as his backdrop, social realist artist Hugo Gellert looked to the working class masses of New York City as his subject matter. Blue collared laborers, barflies and the homeless were cast as unlikely heroes in prints and drawings that underscored the struggles of both the everyday man and the downtrodden. By simultaneously humanizing the city’s outcasts and aggrandizing the proletariat Gellert produced works that not only illuminated the plight of those around him, but also championed the dogged and resolute spirit of New York’s inhabitants.
