Reconstruction on the Hudson

Saul Berman's original lithograph "Reconstruction on the Hudson" is printed on wove paper with full margins and is signed, titled in pencil along the lower margin and also signed within the stone to the lower right. Most of Saul Berman's contributions from 1935 to 1940 are fascinating scenes of period construction projects in both Manhattan and Brooklyn and are thus of great historical and artistic importance. "Reconstruction on the Hudson" is a fine, original example of the New York art created by this American artist during this period.

Note:	Saul Berman: Born in Russia, Saul Berman immigrated to America at an early age. He studied art at both the Educational Alliance and the National Academy in New York.

By 1930 his art was included in major exhibitions throughout America.
	Saul Berman was equally adept in the mediums of painting, etching and lithography. Some of his finest work was created during the Great Depression era.
	Most of Saul Berman's contributions from 1935 to 1940 are fascinating scenes of period construction projects in both Manhattan and Brooklyn and are thus of great historical and artistic importance. Like many works of art from this period, his fine etchings and lithographs were rarely numbered in specific editions. Given the economic climate of the times, however, it is unlikely that more than a handful of impressions for Reconstruction on the Hudson were printed.
