Gallery Labels
Marsh was one of the foremost Social Realists of the 1930s, portraying scenes of New York urban life. He employed a graphic, linear technique to bring individuality to the characters he depicted.
The newspaper headline refers to the sentencing of the convicted kidnapper of Charles Lindbergh’s baby.
Marsh combined contemporary subjects with the use of media (such as egg tempera) and techniques derived from his study of European Old Master painters.
