Philip Evergood Art
American, 1901-1973
Philip Evergood was an American Social Realist painter. An advocate for civil rights, much of his work depicted the daily lives of working-class people, as seen in his hallmark piece, Sunnyside of the Street (1950). “Actually if you paint a group of country folk having a feast like Brueghel did it's social painting, too,” the artist said. “But then when you get down to paintings like The Massacre of the Innocents (1566) by Brueghel when Holland was occupied by the Spanish and you have people smashing doors down and bringing out infants and cutting them in half with swords then you're doing a very brave kind of social statement.” Born Howard Blashki in 1901 in New York, NY, his father was the Australian landscape painter Miles Evergood. It was his father that anglicized the family name from the Jewish-Polish Blashki to Evergood, when Philip was a child. Moving with his parents to London in 1909, he went on to study at Eton College and Cambridge University. Set on pursuing a career in art he enrolled at the Slade School of Fine Art, studying under Henry Tonks. Returning to New York in 1923, he studied with the Ashcan School painter George Luks. During the Great Depression, the artist worked for the WPA, creating murals in both Queens, NY, and Jackson, GA. Evergood died in 1973 in Bridgewater, CT. Today, his works are included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.to

Civil Rights, Racial Justice Little Rock
By Philip Evergood
Located in Miami, FL
"Civil Rights." Evergood's early commentary on racial issues in the 1950s depicts four black men gagged, roped and hanging from a tree. In the background, imprisoned blacks look on through a barbed-wire fence. Whites watch in horror but do nothing to help. Meanwhile, a two-legged and three-headed serpent who symbolizes evil - wraps himself around the tree that physically and symbolically separates the races. This is an important work in the history of American art. It may be one of the very earliest examples of a major American painter doing a major work that challenges racial segregation and injustice at a time when no one else would. The title of the work is inspired by a Historic Supreme Court decision on racial segregation. The Little Rock...

Flea, the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist once said of Pettibon's Black Flag illustrations and iconic logo: "Before I knew what Black Flag was I remember walking around Hollywood and seeing Raymond's flyers and being like, 'What the fuck is that?'… Those flyers made me feel like something is going on and it's romantic and it's mysterious and it's heavy and I don't know what it is but I wanna know."
About Raymond Pettibon (Americanb. 1957)
Raymond Pettibon is a contemporary American artist known for his stylized ink drawings combining images and text. His inventive narratives blend historical content with consumer culture to yield incisive critiques of contemporary society. “I was making my work as transparent as possible, without equivocations, without calling attention to itself, without apology,” he explained. “There's a lot of conventions in the art world that are not to be transgressed, but my economy of means doesn't abide by those strictures.” Born Raymond Ginn on June 16, 1957 in Tucson, AZ, the artist is self-taught, but cites drawings by William Blake, Edward Hopper, Francisco Goya, and John Sloan as instructive to his practice. Deriving inspiration from comics, cartoons, and other pop culture iconography, Pettibon began designing album covers and ephemera for his brother’s band Black Flag in the mid-1970s. He went on to produce cover art for Sonic Youth, the Minutemen...

A Dynamic 1930s Boxing Match Painting by Famed Chicago Artist, Francis Chapin
By Francis Chapin
Located in Chicago, IL
A dynamic, colorful 1930s painting of a boxing match in Mexico by famed Chicago Modern artist Francis Chapin. Painted during one of the artist's early trips to Mexico, an exceptional painting showing Chapin's steadfast interest in sporting scenes, particularly boxing matches. Image size: 12 x 28 inches. Framed size: 15 1/2 x 31 1/2 inches. Estate stamped on reverse. Provenance: Estate of the artist.
Francis Chapin, affectionately called the “Dean of Chicago Painters” by his colleagues, was one of the city’s most popular and celebrated painters in his day. Born at the dawn of the 20th Century in Bristolville, Ohio, Chapin graduated from Washington and Jefferson College near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before enrolling at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922. He would set down deep roots at the Art Institute of Chicago, exhibiting there over 31 times between 1926 and 1951. In 1927 Chapin won the prestigious Bryan Lathrop Fellowship from the Art Institute – a prize that funded the artist’s yearlong study trip to Europe. Upon his return to the United States, Chapin decided to remain in Chicago, noting the freedom Chicago artists have in developing independently of the pressure to conform to pre-existing molds (as was experienced by artists in New York, for example). Chapin became a popular instructor at the Art Institute, teaching there from 1929 to 1947 and at the Art Institute’s summer art school in Saugatuck, Michigan (now called Oxbow) between 1934 – 1938 (he was the director of the school from 1941-1945). Chapin’s contemporaries among Chicago’s artists included such luminaries as Ivan Le Lorraine Albright...

Dated lower left "LXII"
Provenance: Kennedy Galleries (label), his long time dealer)
Condition: Very fresh colors and condition
Philip Evergood was born Philip Blashki in New York City on October 26, 1901. His father, an artist named Meyer Blashki, was an Australian Jew of Polish descent who had immigrated to the United States, but his mother was a member of a well-to-do Anglican family determined to have her son educated in her native England. When Philip failed to get past the Committee of Admirals for entrance into the Royal Naval Training College, his father fired off an angry letter to the First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, demanding to know whether the boy's last name had influenced the admirals. Convinced that it had, Meyer Blashki renamed himself and his son Evergood and the boy duly did time at both Eton and Cambridge. But Cambridge and Philip did not long agree, for he finally made up his mind that all he wanted to do was paint.
He studied art at the Slade School in London with Henry Tonks and Havard Thomas, Julian Academie in Paris, and the Art Students' League of New York. He was especially influenced by the Spanish artist El Greco. He met his wife Julia in Paris and they eventually settled in Manhattan. On canvas, Evergood's figures were apt to be as chunky as himself, his colors applied in solid, intrically designed blocks. But the mood could be as soft as a glow. Occasionally Evergood would vent his rage against the...
