Title:	Bicycles
Artist:	Gottlieb, Harry (Bucharest, Romania, 1895 - New York, 1992)
Date:	c. 1960
Medium:	Original Silkscreen
Note:	Harry Gottlieb: An important twentieth century American artist, Harry Gottlieb was born in Romania but lived in Ireland through much of his childhood. In 1908 he settled in the United States and received his artistic education in Minneapolis. Harry Gottlieb came to New York at the end of World War One. He then became involved with the Provincetown Theatre Company, designing sets and acting. It was here he met the emerging young playwright, Eugene O'Neill, and Gottlieb designed the sets for some of his first performances. Harry Gottlieb settled in the artist's colony at Woodstock, N. Y. in1923 and worked there for twelve years
	Harry Gottlieb established his reputation as a leading New York painter and printmaker during the 1920's and 1930's. His early paintings and prints exhibit a unique understanding of Cezanne's basic structures as well as an interest in related cubist forms. By 1930, however, Gottlieb's art was allied much more closely to the tradition of social realism in the vein of Sloan, Marsh and Hopper. As well, one of the champions of Gottlieb's art during this period was Juliana Force, the first director of the influential Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Harry Gottlieb, in fact, was one of the premier artists to be honored with a one-man show at the Whitney. This important museum still houses one of the best collections of Gottlieb's paintings, drawings and prints.
	The darkest period of Gottlieb's career took place in the years following World War II. His liberal social attitudes made him a prime target for McCarthyism and under political pressure many museums and galleries were forced to withdraw Gottlieb's art. By the later 1950's, however, he was again practicing and exhibiting his art. He then received the prestigious Guggenheim Scholarship Award which enabled him to travel extensively in Europe, Mexico and many Latin American countries. Harry Gottlieb was a founding member of the W.P.A. and the Artists' League of America, and was also a member of the Woodscot Artists Association. For his distinguished art he received Gold Medals from both the National Academy and from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
	Throughout much of his life, creative printmaking was an important part of Gottlieb's oeuvre. Until 1940, however, lithography was his favored medium. In the early 1940's Gottlieb turned to the color medium of silk-screening. A tireless innovator, he invented a process that enabled this medium to become much more painterly in its approach. To establish the rich and vibrant colours he was seeking, Harry Gottlieb painted directly onto the screen, much like the medium of the monoprint.
	Gottlieb's first silkscreen was exhibited in 1940 and it drew immediate national recognition as it was awarded the prestigious Eyre Medal for the best print in the 40th Annual Exhibition of Watercolours and Prints at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Harry Gottlieb's silkscreens display a brilliant use of both form and colour. They stand as a truly magnificent testament to his famous career.
