Reginald Marsh

Reginald Marsh, Lloyd Goodrich

description

Large-scale monograph on the life and work of Reginald Marsh by Lloyd Goodrich. "Reginald Marsh's vision centered on humanity; wherever the crowds were thickest, he found his themes. He loved the multitudinous life of New York City, and in his art captured its entire social range, from dime-a-dance joints to the Stork Club and the Metropolitan Opera. Few artists have had such an eye for the phenomena of the urban environment or such accuracy in recording them [...] This lavishly illustrated volume is the most extensive work on Marsh ever published. His entire oeuvre, from the 1920s to the 1950s, is represented - tempera, oil, and watercolor paintings, as well as murals, etchings, engravings, chinese-ink drawings, sketchbook pages, and exacting anatomical studies. In a thoroughly engrossing text, Lloyd Goodrich, consultant to and former Director of the Whitney Museum of American Art, who was a longtime personal friend of the artist, explores Marsh's role as one of the outstanding painters of the American urban scene." -- from interior flap. Includes biographical notes, notes to the text, selected bibliography, and index of the plates. Printed in color and black-and-white, with 239 illustrations, including 85 plates in full-color.
