Von Eichman (1899-1970) was a founding member of The Society of Six, a group of artists based in the San Francisco Bay Area who exhibited together and promoted Modernism on the West Coast. Inspired by the Impressionist and post-Impressionist works included in the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, they embraced en plein air painting and the colors and brushstrokes of the artists exhibited there. Von Eichman relocated to New York in 1928 until World War II, where he favored gritty depictions of urban life in the Lower East Side and Harlem.
