Leon DoliceLeon Dolice, (Washington Square, New York City)1922
1922
About the Item
Leon Dolice managed to capture New York City moments and places dear to all New Yorkers. This view of the arch in Washington Square Park is a perfect example. It's shown from Fifth Avenue, with the two statues, at left is Washington Commander-in-Chief (at War), by Herman A. MacNeil, and at the right is Washington as President (at Peace) by Alexander Stirling Calder (father of the artist Alexander Calder). The arch was dedicated in 1895; the statues were added in 1918.
Prints from the teens and twenties are increasingly scarce so it's especially good to have this piece from 1922. Here the general term of 'Ashcan School' is used for 'style' but it could also be 'Etching Revival.'
Signed in pencil. Signed and dated in plate, lower left.

- Eli Jacobi, Raritan Bridge (New Jersey)Located in New York, NYMostly known linocuts that combine social subjects with a modernist figure-ground style, Jacobi proves that 'artists have hands.' By that my old boss Sylvan Cole meant that even if they have a preferred medium, like Jacobi with linocut, they could do just about anything. And here the artist has made a New Jersey subject shine. The Raritan Bridge of course goes over the Raritan River that flows from the inland mountains (well, hills) of New Jersey to the Raritan Bay and then into the Atlantic Ocean. It was stolen from the Lenape by the Dutch and fought over by the English. It's role in American Industrial History is the stuff of legends. With the addition of a canal it transported anthracite coal from Pennsylvania helping to make the this part of New Jersey into a financial powerhouse. Sadly industry also polluted the entire region but now there is on-going restoration. Of course the bridge is also known to riders of the New Jersey Coast Line and drivers on the Garden State Parkway -- both take travelers 'down the shore,' This twist of heavy industry...Category
