Joseph Hirsch
Editorial, 1942
Joseph Hirsch (1910-1981), born in Philadelphia, was a student of George Luks in New York. Working as a painter and a printmaker, the strong graphic techniques he employed in his etchings and lithographs, informed the canvases of this artist who possessed a keen social conscience. His mature style was established by the time of his first one-man show in 1937, and in Editorial (1942), he portrays the ordinary working class subject this social-realist artist typically favored.
