The Fine Art of [Reginald Marsh] // 03.31.2026
Reginald Marsh (1898-1954), Bowery Scene “Strokey’s,” 1944,
Watercolor and gray wash on paper, 30.75 x 22.5 inches
Reginald Marsh’s mid-20th century depictions of New York City capture the city’s aura and frenetic energy. Marsh was able to explore social class structures through scenes of burlesque clubs, beaches, and subways, fluctuating between satire and realism. After graduating from Yale in 1920, Marsh moved to New York and began working as an illustrator, producing lively cartoon reviews of vaudeville and burlesque for publications like the New York Daily News and The New Yorker.
