John Grabach (American, 1886-1981) Considered a leading figure in the Newark School of Painters, his powerful Ashcan style paintings depicting scenes of New York City and Newark are truly American masterpieces. He captures the expressions and mood of his subjects in these complex compositions on par with any of the highly regarded Ashcan painters of this period.
Similar in many ways to his contemporary, George Bellows, Grabach was gifted in portraying the everyday events of working class folks, and translating their ordinary daily routines into something extraordinary to look at.
From the 1920s through the 1960s, Grabach was the subject of numerous one-man exhibitions in prestigious galleries and institutions across the country. In 1980, The Smithsonian Institute, in Washington, D.C., honored Grabach with a solo retrospective show of his work. This was an unusual tribute for a still living artist. less
