"New Masses" Vol 1, No 1, May 1926, Actual Magazine, VG Condition Hugo Gellert New Masses Magazine. May 1926, Inaugural: Vol 1, No 1. Published by the New Masses Inc., 39 West 8th St., New York City. New Masses (1926-1948) was an American Marxist magazine launched in New York City. It was closely associated with the Communist Party USA. With the coming of the Great Depression in 1929 America became more receptive to ideas from the political Left and New Masses became highly influential in intellectual circles. The magazine has been called the principal organ of the American cultural left from 1926 onwards. It featured the work of an array of independent writers and artists. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s recent exhibition, “Art for the Millions: American Culture and Politics in the 1930s” celebrated the American spirit during the depression era. In the exhibition several issues of "New Masses" are exhibited, but not Vol 1. No. 1. We offer that. Lithograph by Hugo Gellert on the cover and multiple illustrations in magazine. Hugo Gellert (1892-1985) was a Hungarian-American illustrator and muralist. A committed radical and member of the Communist Party of America, Gellert is considered by some art critics as among the best political work of the first half of the 20th century. The artists who works are inside Vol 1, No. 1 include: William Gropper, Adolph Dehn, Stuart Davis, Art Young, I. Klein, Boardman Robinson, Wanda Gag, Louis Lozowick, F. S.
