HYMAN WARSAGER (1909-1974)


Gathering Logs.
Color screenprint. 305x354 mm; 12x14 inches, wide margins. Edition of approximately 25. Signed and titled in pencil, lower margin. Published by the New York City WPA, with the "New York City WPA Art Project" ink stamp, lower left. Circa 1935.

A very good impression.

Warsager joined the WPA Graphics division in 1935 and became one of the earliest artists to use the screenprint as a fine art medium. Like many artists of the time, Warsager was active in social and political causes, seeking an end to racism and injustice. Warsager's experiments in printmaking continued throughout his career.
