ABOUT THIS AUCTION: For sale is a fine WPA era American Ashcan school etching of the Manhattan Automat in New York City by noted Brooklyn, New York artist Olga Rosenson (1892-1959) most notably a student of American realist painter George Luks.

An American Ashcan School Social realist, Rosenson was a very early proponent of social realism and enjoyed documenting the everyday lives of urban Americans living in the New York area in the 1920's and 1930's. The present lot was executed and printed in the 1920's. Rosenson's lost estate has recently surfaced, and her material is being sought after by knowledgeable collectors and dealers interested in non-traditional subject matter of Americans in the early part of the 20th century. T is a naive charm to Rosenson's work that is unmistakably rooted in an almost anthropological approach to printmaking. See other auctions for more fine work of this newly re-discovered artist. Signed in pencil lower right.
