Sidney Riesenberg Art

1885-1971

Sidney Riesenberg, an accomplished landscape painter but best known as an illustrator, was born in Chicago in 1885. He received his formal education at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he won several purchase prize awards. By 1905, he moved to Yonkers, New York for his career and contributed illustrations to journals such as Harper's, Scribner's, Collier's and The Saturday Evening Post and produced many posters for the Marines and Liberty Loan campaigns. From 1905–09, Riesenberg made two trips to the West and often created western subjects such as book illustrations for, With Whip and Spur and Pioneers All. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, he exhibited his easel work at the National Academy of Design, The New York Watercolor Club, the Allied Artists of America, The Yonkers Art Association, and the Rockport Art Association. Riesenberg was often influenced by Impressionism and Plein-air painting. Evidence of his background as an illustrator is seen in his paintings by his use of modern color theory, unique brushstrokes, and attention to structure and design.

"Arab Children, " Portrait of Two Figures Lithograph signed by Fletcher Martin

By Fletcher Martin

Located in Milwaukee, WI

"Arab Children" is an original lithograph by Fletcher Martin. The artist signed the piece lower right. This piece features two young children--a boy and a girl--with downcast eyes in draped fabric clothes in an interior. 12" x 8" art 22" x 18" frame Fletcher Martin was an American painter, illustrator, muralist and educator. He is best known for his images of soldier life during World War II and his sometimes brutal images of boxing and other sports. His artistic skills were largely self-taught. He worked as a printer in Los Angeles in the late 1920s, and as an assistant to Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros in the early 1930s. He taught at local art schools such as Otis Art Institute. He won commissions to paint murals for the New Deal's Section of Painting and Sculpture, including Mail Transportation (1938), painted for the San Pedro Federal Building and Post Office in Los Angeles. Under the WPA he painted a mural study for the Kellogg, Idaho post office titled Mine Rescue (1939). Local industrialists objected that it depicted the dangers of mining, while officials of the Mine & Smelt Workers Union praised it. The industrialists prevailed and Martin painted an uncontroversial mural, Discovery (1941), depicting the prospector who founded the town. The rejected mural study is now in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Perhaps his most ambitious mural, also done under the WPA, was painted for North Hollywood High School in Los Angeles. Legends of Fernandino and Gabrileno Indians (1937) depicts overlapping scenes of Native American life and ritual, and the world being carried on the backs of giants. As an artist-correspondent for Life Magazine during World War II, he made hundreds of sketches of U.S. soldier life. Fourteen of his paintings from the North African campaign were published in the December 27, 1943 issue of Life, and brought him national recognition. Among these was Boy Picking Flowers...
