WOOD FRAME UNDER GLASS MAKES THIS A BIG AND HEAVY PACKAGE. WELCOME to Mahalo Art Antiques & Design! FYI, THE FAINT WHITISH-COLORED SHADOWS IN OUR PICTURES ARE ONLY REFLECTIONS OFF THE GLASS, NOT DAMAGE NOR DISCOLORATION.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE FINEST WPA ERA / AMERICAN SCENE / SOCIAL REALISM PAINTINGS I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. TITLED BEREVEMENT(sic), SIGNED J. LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT JOSEPH MARZI.

BORN IN 1895, HE STUDIED ART AS A YOUNG MAN IN NEW YORK CITY, AND THERE IS SOME INDICATION HE CONTINUED TO PAINT AND EXHIBIT THERE, BUT BY 1940, HE, HIS WIFE ALICE, AND THEIR TWO ADOLESCENT DAUGHTERS RELOCATED TO OHIO ACCORDING TO CENSUS RECORDS. OBVIOUSLY THIS PAINTING WAS PAINTED IN NEW YORK SINCE IT IS DATED 1936, WHICH WOULD MAKE THE ARTIST 41 YEARS OLD, AT THAT POINT IN TIME. THIS IS CLEARLY A STELLAR EXAMPLE OF HIS TALENT. THIS PAINTING CAN CLEARLY HOLD ITS OWN WHEN COMPARED TO THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF PRE-WWII AFRICAN AMERICAN SOCIAL REALISM ART. AS FAR BACK IN MY ART DEALER CAREER THAT I CAN REMEMBER, I HAVE PERSONALLY ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO 20TH C. ETHNIC AND SOCIAL REALISM ART WHETHER LATINO, AFRICAN-AMERICAN, PACIFIC ISLANDER, ASIAN, NATIVE AMERICAN, ETC. ESPECIALLY STARTING WITH THE ASHCAN SCHOOL THROUGH 1960S SOCIAL ACTIVISM MOVEMENTS.
