About the Item
A vibrant painting depicting a magician pulling doves from his hat for an enthusiastic audience. It captures a moment of modern city amusement that many artists, from Degas to Picasso, have immortalized in art.

It was in New York City where he found the inspiration for his work, the city and its people, focusing on daily life subjects. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League with John Sloan. His work has been exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Tacoma Art Museum.
Brightly executed in watercolor and gouache on watercolor board. It is signed upper right and framed.
