Original Serigraph Harlem NY Artist Gregorio Prestopino Signed and Numbered 3/50

About the Item

" Morning Subway " Prestopino, Gregorio (American, 1907-1984) Original Serigraph signed and numbered 3/50 . The Whitney and MoMA both have his work in their collections, he is overdue for re-assessment, as there has not been a retrospective of his work since 1985. "Born on New York's Lower East Side in 1907, at the age of fourteen, was awarded a scholarship to the National Academy of Design. It was there that he discovered the Ashcan painters. As a young man, he set up his first studio in Harlem and, for the next thirty years, concentrated on depicting the grit of city life . Lower East Side streets and, in the 1950's, Harlem life. Prestopino received much acclaim during the 1940's, and was, along with Ben Shahn and Philip Evergood, one of the best known of the social realist painters. in 1954 he became Director of the McDowell Colony, Prestopino began spending five months each year in Peterborough, New Hampshire. By the early 1960's, Russell Lynes observed: "[in Prestopino's work] the sound of the city. gave way to the sounds of the country, the relentlessness of bricks and pavement and steel to the happy disorder of dappled things." Prestopino's influence as a teacher, mostly at the New School for Social Research in New York, has been attested to by such former students as Red Grooms. His work has been widely exhibited and can be found in many major public collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York the Art Institute of Chicago, the Smithsonian Museum and the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C.,
