Stuyvesant Van Veen (1910 - 1988) American artist and muralist
Est: $100 - $150
Stuyvesant Van Veen (1910 - 1988) was an American artist and muralist. Stuyvesant Van Veen was born in NYC, Sept, 12, 1910. He studied at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League. In 1929 at the age of 19, he became the youngest contributor to an international exhibition of modern paintings at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. This notoriety led him to be commissioned by the U.S.Treasury Department's Section of Painting and Sculpture to paint "Pittsburgh Panorama" in 1937. The mural hangs in courtroom No. 3 in the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse, downtown Pittsburgh. In the mural, the Westinghouse Bridge frames the city. Decades later, Van Veen, who had leftist beliefs, revealed in an interview that he gave the Monongahela River an especially pointed bend, his subtle way of inserting a sickle into the scene. In addition to the above, he painted many other murals for the Federal Art Project, including: the Ebbets Field apartments, the New York World's Fair, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and Family Court building, Philadelphia. Offered here is an original lithograph from the rare 1956 Improvisations portfolio, published by the Artists Equity Association of New York. Leading artists on the New York art scene were invited to contribute original lithographs in the form of advertisements for businesses and institutions supporting the Artists Equity Association; these sponsors allowed the artists complete creative freedom of expression. This lithograph was issued 1956, in an edition of 2000; the sheet measures 12 x 8-1/2 inches. Signed by Steed in the plate (not hand-signed). VG

The mural hangs in courtroom No. 3 in the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse, downtown Pittsburgh. In the mural, the Westinghouse Bridge frames the city. Decades later, Mr. Van Veen, who had leftist beliefs, revealed in an interview that he gave the Monongahela River an especially pointed bend, his subtle way of inserting a sickle into the scene. In addition to the above, he painted many other murals for the Federal Art Project, including: the Ebbets Field apartments, the New York World's Fair, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and Family Court building, Philadelphia. Offered here is an original lithograph from the rare 1958 "Improvisations" portfolio, published by the Artists Equity Association of New York. Leading artists on the New York art scene were invited to contribute original lithographs in the form of advertisements for businesses and institutions supporting the Artists Equity Association; these sponsors allowed the artists complete creative freedom of expression. This lithograph was issued in an edition of 2000; the sheet measures 11-3/4 x 8-1/2 inches. Signed by his monogram lower left in the plate (not hand-signed). VG
