Reginald Marsh (1898-1954) * American artist who painted New York City life.
I love the “movement” of his paintings. You can feel the wind, hear the music…terrific.
Some of Marsh’s paintings are not quite so colorful as you see here, he gravitated toward regular people in the streets, at the burlesque, on the subway. His concentration for everyday scenes are reflective of his concerns for the common man and woman.
(Couple Dancing at the Savoy – 1934, Oil)
(The Normandie – 1953, water color on paper)
BTW : I never heard of Reginald Marsh until I saw the “Paint What You Know” post of 5/20/08. Great discovery. Thx Bob!
