Image Size: 8 3/8" x 11 3/4" Paper Size: 10 7/8" x 13 5/8" Frame Size: 17 1/4" x 20 1/4" Artist Bio: Joseph Margulies was born in Vienna in 1896. He immigrated to the United States at a young age. He studied at the Art Students League in New York with the printmaker Joseph Pennell from 1922-1925. He continued his studies at the National Academy of Design, at Cooper Union in New York City, and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Margulies also apprenticed with Maynard Waltner in Vienna. The artist mastered lithography and etching and also became known as a great portrait painter, commissioned to execute portraits of presidents and other distinguished people.  Margulies is best known for his portraits and seascapes of the New England Coast. He kept studios in New York and Gloucester. His realist depiction of fishing boats at Gloucester shows his intimate knowledge of the scene. He was committed to making his art—portraits, scenes of New York City and New England—accessible to the layperson. As a New York artist, Margulies was exposed to and influenced by the Ashcan School painters.  The artist’s works are in the Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, OH); the Library of Congress; the National Portrait Gallery (Washington, D.C.); the Brooklyn Museum; the Cleveland Museum of Art; the Flint Institue of Arts (MI); the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Fort Worth, TX); the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Rochester Institute of Technology; the National Gallery of Art; the National Portrait Gallery; the Yale University Art Gallery; and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Hidden Cities I / second state
By Peter Milton
Located in New York, NY
“Hidden Cities I : The Ministry. Second State.” Contemporary artist Peter Milton created this etching and engraving in 2006. The printed image size is Image size 23.50 x 36.88 inches and the paper size is 31 x 42 inches. This impression is signed, dated, and titled in pencil and inscribed “11/75” – the 11th impression from the total printing of 75. “I do love to draw. I feel that I am being granted membership in the Brotherhood of Merlin, conjuring forth some apparition. As a drawing develops, I sense a vague presence coming more and more into focus, something in a white fog emerging and becoming increasingly palpable.” – P. Milton, “The primacy of touch. The Drawings of Peter Milton” “Working in layers, Milton begins with drawings based on people and places, with nods to Western art history and culture. He is a master of the appropriated image, a term that may conjure Andy Warhol and his Pop Art comrades. But Milton steps further back in history, avoiding the Pop sense of cool advertising and popular culture references. Instead, a broader cultural past is tapped through historical photographs of key players, architecture, and locales, which he reinvents by hand. He adds content drawn from his life as an avid reader – always with multiple possible interpretations – thus incorporating deeper meaning in his cinematic worlds. Elements of Greek mythology, classical music, art history, and history coalesce in his images, which embrace the messiness, sorrow, and elation that is life. One is hard-pressed to imagine a more erudite, skilled, passionate, and cheeky soul. In addition to a storied career in printmaking, since 2007 Milton has fearlessly produced artwork digitally. He now creates images using Adobe Photoshop in files consisting of more than two thousand layers, which are printed both as digital prints on paper and, for display on Led light boxes...
