About the Item

William Meyerowitz, originally from Russia, embarked on his journey to the United States in 1908 alongside his father, followed shortly by the rest of their family. Upon his arrival in New York, young Meyerowitz was already deeply engrossed in the twin pursuits that would define his existence for the ensuing seven decades: music and art. Between 1912 and 1916, William Meyerowitz pursued his artistic education at the National Academy of Design, with a primary focus on the craft of etching. During this period, he sustained himself by both lending his voice to the Metropolitan Opera and engaging in architectural drafting. Following the completion of his formal studies, Meyerowitz collaborated with fellow artists George Bellows and Robert Henri to establish the People's Art Guild. This organization was conceived with the noble objective of democratizing art by offering alternative exhibition venues, even within the tenement houses of the East Side. It was through this endeavor that Meyerowitz crossed paths with the artist Theresa Bernstein. Their union was sealed in 1919, and for the subsequent six decades, they toiled side by side, first in the bustling city of New York and later in serene locales like Folly Cove and Mount Pleasant Avenue in East Gloucester.
