1932
About the Item
James Penney was widely known for his New Yorker covers as well as his paintings and prints. This lithograph of male laborers, Street Pavers, reminds us of the back-breaking labor that supports us all. And of course the heavy industrial machinery is always appreciated.
Penney was from Saint Joseph, Missouri. He trained in NYC at the Art Students League. The New-York Historical Society and the Library of Congress both have collections of his work.
Signed in ink; titled, dated, and annotated 'Proof,' in pencil.

- Eli Jacobi, Raritan Bridge (New Jersey)Located in New York, NYMostly known linocuts that combine social subjects with a modernist figure-ground style, Jacobi proves that 'artists have hands.' By that my old boss Sylvan Cole meant that even if they have a preferred medium, like Jacobi with linocut, they could do just about anything. And here the artist has made a New Jersey subject shine. The Raritan Bridge of course goes over the Raritan River that flows from the inland mountains (well, hills) of New Jersey to the Raritan Bay and then into the Atlantic Ocean. It was stolen from the Lenape by the Dutch and fought over by the English. It's role in American Industrial History is the stuff of legends.

Sadly industry also polluted the entire region but now there is on-going restoration. Of course the bridge is also known to riders of the New Jersey Coast Line and drivers on the Garden State Parkway -- both take travelers 'down the shore,' This twist of heavy industry...Category
