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.

'Lobsterman's Wharf, Maine' original lithograph signed by "Zsissly" Albright
By Malvin Marr Albright
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Lobsterman's Wharf, Maine' is an original lithograph signed by Malvin Marr "Zsissly" Albright. While Malvin Marr – along with his better-known identical twin Ivan Albright – was known for his meticulous and unsettling magic realist compositions, he and his brother were also prolific in capturing landscapes of the coast of Maine where the two spent several consecutive summers away from Chicago over their lives. Sometimes these Maine landscapes and views would be painterly and seemingly antithetical to the careful realism of his other work; but in this example, however, the wharf is treated with the same macabre decay as his human subjects. In the composition, the shack...
