Celebrating Our 27th Year
204 September 24, 2015 Arizona Collectibles
At Arizona Collectibles, appraiser Corinne Cain of SavvyCollector.com discusses a powerful painting by American social realist Robert Gwathmey. Born in Virginia and trained at the Maryland Institute in Baltimore and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Gwathmey later taught at Cooper Union in New York for 26 years. Known for his socially conscious work, Gwathmey and his wife often immersed themselves in Black and farming communities in the American South during the 1930s. Corinne explores this Gwathmey painting’s symbolic imagery, including a road sign referencing a major route used during the Great Migration, and discusses its historical significance.
