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. Gregory Masurovsky is known to have contributed two smaller etchings
to the A.A.A. during this time, Running Man (1966) and Nude
(1967), both in editions of 250. |
