- The Junkman's Serenade oil painting by Gregorio PrestopinoBy Gregorio PrestopinoLocated in Hudson, NYThis work epitomizes Prestopino's interest in social realism which captures a quiet interlude in the everyday life of an "everyman." It also provides a contrast for our expectations as we view a tough, blue collar worker, with no one watching, as he sings a melody to the birds. In an original frame measuring 49" x 39" x 3.25" Provenance: Edith Halpert's Downtown Gallery (label verso from 13 w. 113th street, where the gallery was located from 1926 until 1939) Private collection, NYC, c. 1935 By descent About this artist: Born in Little Italy in 1907, Gregorio Prestopino first set out to become a sign painter as the son of New York City immigrants.

He first became interested in the Ashcan school at the National Academy of Design, and remained committed to an interest in working with urban scenes.
