DOX THRASH (1893 - 1965) Untitled (Street Scene with View of City Hall/View of Center City).
Double-sided watercolor on buff wove paper, circa 1940. 343x406 mm; 13 1/2x16 inches. Signed twice in watercolor, lower left recto and lower right verso.
Provenance: private collection.
This double-sided watercolor reveals this Philadelphia artist's interest in portraying his city from the perspective of the working class people who lived there. Thrash's prints, such as the lithograph View of Philadelphia with City Hall, circa 1939-1941, and the carborundum mezzotint Backstage, circa 1939-40, also contrast street scenes with the city's skyline.
