About the Item
American Scene Painting - Social Realism. The present work is a Depression Era account of working-class men and women.
Philip Howard Francis Dixon Evergood (born Howard Blashki; 1901–1973) was a Jewish American painter, etcher, lithographer, sculptor, illustrator and writer He was particularly active during the Depression and World War II era. Evergood is noted for his deliberately awkward drawing and his spontaneous bold lines. His skillfully organized sophisticated compositions are often humorous, frequently fantastic, and sometimes openly symbolic. His color is never conventional but rather evokes an extremely personal mood that reveals the artist as both militantly social and warmly sensuous.
Evergood studied at the Art Students League of New York and at the Académie Julian in Paris , both with André Lhote and with Stanley William Hayter;

The setting reminds us of a Rear Window by Alfred Hickcock but Evergood did it 8 years before.

Winter Evening Fifth Avenue - New York at Night
By Ernest Fiene
Located in Miami, FL
Ernest Fiene depicts Fifth Avenue looking down from 57th Street with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building. The absence of newer glass and steel architecture gives the painting the charm of old New York. The artist captures a dark, moody blue sky as light bounces back from the clouds. This contrasts with the somewhat haunting yellow glow given to pedestrians and street traffic. The people have somewhat of a zombie quality akin to George Tooker.

Redhead Sitting next to Canoe painted in Arts and Crafts style
By Walt Louderback

It is rendered in a quick Arts and Crafts style that is as abstract as it is representational. The viewer can stare at it endlessly and still discover new pictorial relationships.
