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.

- Newbury Street, Boston [Louis Boston / Bonwit Teller Building]Located in Boston, MAThis watercolor by Charles Demetropoulos depicts a classical French Academic-style building which was designed in 1862 by architect William G. Preston as the new home of the Boston Society for Natural History, which had been founded in 1830. In the 1860’s, many of Boston’s cultural institutions relocated here to the Back Bay, the elegant residential district being built on the tidal marshes behind the city. When the museum moved here in 1863, the new building dominated the western edge of the landfill. The classical design reflected its role as a “temple of learning.” The building was later renovated into a women’s retail store known as Bonwit Teller and later became home to Louis Boston...Category
