1929

About the Item

Adriaan Lubbers, 'Times Square', lithograph, 1929, edition 50. Signed, dated, titled, and editioned '(50)' in pencil. A fine impression, on cream wove paper, with full margins (2 1/2 to 4 3/4 inches), in excellent condition. Image size 14 3/4 x 8 3/4 inches (375 x 222 mm); sheet size 22 x 15 inches (559 x 381 mm). Archivally matted to museum standards, unframed. Collections: Gemeentemuseum Helmond (Netherlands), Indianapolis Museum of Art, Princeton University Library. ABOUT THE ARTIST Adriaan Lubbers (1892-1954) traveled to New York City from his native Netherlands in the 1920s. Fascinated with American skyscrapers, he continued to draw inspiration from the New York cityscape for the remainder of his artistic career. Although Lubbers never settled permanently in the United States, his distinctive interpretations of Manhattan architecture earned him fame in America and Europe. Lubbers first trained as an engineer, and he continued to focus on the monumental and sculptural attributes of the city rather than the lives of its denizens. His innovative viewpoints—often over rooftops, under bridges, or across water, distinguish both his paintings and his lithographs.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Howard Norton Cook (1901-1980) was one of the best-known of the second generation of artists who moved to Taos. A native of Massachusetts, he studied at the Art Students League in New York City and at the Woodstock Art Colony. Beginning his association with Taos in 1926, he became a resident of the community in the 1930s. During his career, he received two Guggenheim Fellowships and was elected an Academician in the National Academy of Design. He earned a national reputation as a painter, muralist, and printmaker. Cook’s work in the print mediums received acclaim early in his career with one-person exhibitions at the Denver Art Museum (1927) and the Museum of New Mexico (1928). He received numerous honors and awards over the years, including selection in best-of-the-year exhibitions sponsored by the American Institute of Graphics Arts, the Brooklyn Museum, the Society of American Etchers, and the Philadelphia Print Club. His first Guggenheim Fellowship took him to Taxco, Mexico in 1932 and 1933; his second in the following year enabled him to travel through the American South and Southwest. Cook painted murals for the Public Works of Art Project in 1933 and the Treasury Departments Art Program in 1935. The latter project, completed in Pittsburgh, received a Gold Medal from the Architectural League of New York. One of his most acclaimed commissions was a mural in the San Antonio Post Office in 1937. He and Barbara Latham settled in Talpa, south of Taos, in 1938 and remained there for over three decades. Cook volunteered in World War II as an Artist War Correspondent for the US Navy, where he was deployed in the Pacific. In 1943 he was appointed Leader of a War Art Unit...
