Running Man was commissioned by the Associated American
Artists of New York in 1966 in a sole limited edition of 250 impressions.
Since its creation in the mid 1930's the Associated American Artists commissioned
original graphic art from such great masters as Grant Wood, Thomas Hart
Benton, Reginald Marsh and others. It published etchings and lithographs
of no less stature during the 1960's and 1970's as contributing artists
included Jack Levine, Chaim Koppelman, Joseph Margulies, James Kearns,
Gregory Masurovsky, Jack Coughlin and Sidney Chafetz. Masurovsky is known
to have contributed two original etchings to the A.A.A. during this time,
Running Man (1966) and Nude (1967). |
