MARSH, Reginald
Reginald Marsh (1898–1954) was an American painter and printmaker renowned for his vivid depictions of urban life in the early 20th century. Best known for his etchings, lithographs, and engravings, Marsh captured the energy and grit of New York City, portraying bustling streets, subways, burlesque halls, and Coney Island crowds with remarkable detail. Influenced by the Old Masters and social realism, his prints often featured dynamic compositions and expressive line work, reflecting both admiration and critique of the city’s vibrant yet harsh realities.
