Lot description

GLENN O. COLEMAN NEW YORK, OHIO, 1887-1932 WASHINGTON SQUARE AND FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, CIRCA 1930 Oil on canvas Framed; lower right signed: Coleman; verso: ACA Galleries label Catalogue note: Painter and printmaker Glenn O. Coleman (1887-1932) grew up in Indianapolis. He attended the Industrial Training School before working as a newspaper artist for the Indianapolis Press. In 1905, he moved to New York, where he studied art and illustration under William Merritt Chase and Robert Henri. Coleman was considered an artist of the "Ashcan School" due to his artistic focus on gray, working class life in New York. His series entitled Undercurrents of New York Life was published by The Craftsman in 1909. Coleman's paintings and prints attempted to capture the contemporary, fleeting scenes of street life in New York City and appeared in the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Brooklyn Museum. He was a MacDowell Fellow in 1917. Source: MacDowell (macdowell.org/artists/glenn-coleman)
