About Jerome Myers

Jerome Myers (1867–1940) was an American painter and printmaker born in Petersburg, Virginia, best known for his sympathetic portrayals of New York City street life and working-class neighborhoods. Closely associated with the Ashcan School, Myers captured the energy and humanity of the urban landscape during a period of rapid change in early twentieth-century America. His genre scenes of tenement markets, children at play, and immigrant communities earned him recognition as a distinctive chronicler of everyday city experience. Myers was also one of the principal organizers of the landmark 1913 Armory Show, which introduced European modernist art to American audiences. His work is held in major museum collections, and his dual role as artist and organizer places him at an important crossroads in American art history.
