John Csosz's original gouache painting, "Oriental Dancer" was created by the Cleveland artist around 1940. It is painted upon artist board and with full margins. "Oriental Dancer" is signed by Csosz in the image to the lower right. It is a striking, original example of the painting techniques by the American artist, John Csosz.
 
Title: Oriental Dancer
Artist: Csosz, John (Hungary, 1897 - Cleveland, Ohio, 1969)
Date: c. 1940
Medium: Original Gouache Painting
Note: John Csosz: Born in Hungary, John Csosz came to Cleveland at an early age. He studied art there under both Frederick Gottwald (1858-1941) and Henry Keller (1869-1949). During his career, John Csosz painted and etched portraits, figure studies, architectural views and landscapes which were exhibited at the Cleveland Museum of Art and elsewhere. John Csosz was also a full member of the Cleveland Society of Artists.
  During the 1930's and 1940's, John Csosz was particularly active and was commissioned to create paintings for such institutions as the Holy Ghost Church, Cleveland, and the University Club, Akron. Perhaps his best known commission, however, is the large painting entitled, Tomorrow, which was created for the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court, Cleveland. It was adopted as the logo for the National Association of Juvenile Court Judges in 1937.
  During the first half of the twentieth century artists of Hungarian heritage played a large role in the arts in the city of Cleveland. Such highly respected painters and printmakers as Sandor Vago, Kalman Kubinyi, Joseph Jicha and John Csosz all established fine reputations. In 2003, the Cleveland Artists Foundation launched a large, retrospective exhibition on the work of these artists entitled, "Hungarians at the Easel."
  "Oriental Dancer" is an original gouache, with its fine coloration and sense of form and movement, Oriental Dancer is a large and striking example of John Csosz's painting techniques. One of John Csosz's best known paintings entitled Tomorrow, was adopted as the logo for the National Association of Juvenile Court Judges in 1937.

American Art of the Depression Era (c. 1930 - c. 1945)
The American Art of the Depression Era directory contains a listing of original works of art from the Depression decade of the 1930’s and into the early 1940’s created by American artists. These pages also include information about the art publishers, associations, clubs, groups and societies located in major cities throughout the United States, such as Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Buffalo, Wichita, Philadelphia, Rochester, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and elsewhere. Many of these organizations provided an opportunity for American artists to work and create original works of art during the Great Depression. A few of the art associations and clubs active during this period that are discussed in this directory include the American Artists Group, the Associated American Artists, New York, the Buffalo Print Club, the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Lone Star Printmakers, the Prairie Print Makers, the Print Club of Cleveland, the Print Club of Philadelphia, the Print Club of Rochester, the Society of American Etchers, the Indiana Society of Printmakers, the Society of Washington D.C. Artists and the Syracuse Print Club.
01.- American Art of the Depression Era - Page 1 (Artist Index (A to E)

American Art of the Depression Era dating from 1930 to 1945 (Art of The Print / www.artoftheprint.com - Artist Index: A to E): The following four pages contain a listing of original American etchings, lithographs woodcuts, serigraphs, watercolors, drawings, linocuts and wood engravings from the Depression decade of the 1930’s and into the early 1940’s. Despite the dire economic times publishers of original prints continued to survive and successfully raise revenue for the artists as well as making original art affordable during the Great Depression years.

Listed on the first page of the 'American Art of the Depression Era' directory are over fifty original works of art created by American artists such as, George Elbert Burr, his etchings, Little Canyon, Arizona and Morraine Park were both commissioned by The Print Connoisseur, while his Evening, Arizona was published by The Brooklyn Society of Etchers. Also, works such as, Kenneth Ballantyne's original linocut, Wood Nymphs appeared in The Colophon in New York in 1931. George Elmer Browne’s The Fishing Fleet and Adolf Dehn’s Threshing Near Kilkenny published by the Associated American Artists (A.A.A.), are other outstanding examples of early prints from this decade.

02.- American Art of the Depression Era - Page 2 (Artist Index (F to J)

American Art of the Depression Era dating from 1930 to 1945 (Art of The Print / www.artoftheprint.com - Artist Index: F to J): The second page of this directory also contains a list of over fifty original works of art created during the Great Depression years by American artists. One of the more interesting aspects of art of the Depression is how seldom the actual misery and privation of the decade is depicted. On this page, for example, only Hugo Gellert’s original lithograph, Primary Accumulation, protests the contemporary state of affairs. The visual arts (including films) set out to divert and entertain. Perhaps for artists an almost sure recipe for failure would have been to remind the average man of his sorry condition.

On the contrary most areas of the entertainment industries thrived. The art of Kenneth Hartwell is an excellent example. His lithographs of circus acrobats, jugglers and clowns and of the music, dancing and comedy of the Burlesque shows are worlds into themselves. Gazing at his imagery the viewer is granted a temporary reprieve from the real world.

03.- American Art of the Depression Era - Page 3 (Artist Index (K to P)

American Art of the Depression Era dating from 1930 to 1945 (Art of The Print / www.artoftheprint.com - Artist Index: K to P): Even in a Depression the sense of a continuation of normal activities persists. In Joseph Margulies, New England Granny the subject does exactly what grannies do best as she contentedly sits in her rocker, sewing. Philip Parsons depicts a joyful family reunion in Home for Christmas and Henry Pitz depicts the dignity of work in his monumental art deco style in both Maine Fisherman and Man Against the Sky.

Purely by alphabetical accident, page 3 also contains two of my favorite night scenes: Alan Lewis’ delightful color woodcut, Swinging the Gate and Martin Lewis’ renowned Night in New York. This famous etching was published by the Chicago Society of Etchers in 1932.

04.- American Art of the Depression Era - Page 4 (Artist Index (R to Z)

American Art of the Depression Era dating from 1930 to 1945 (Art of The Print / www.artoftheprint.com - Artist Index: R to Z): Like the previous three pages, page four of this directory provides a full variety of Depression era themes and techniques. Stark realities of the times are provided by W. P. Robinson (Abandoned Farm) and Isadore Weiner (Gardening). In contrast are pieces like John W. Winkler’s playful landscape, Rae Lakes, California and the fine animal studies by Clarence Zuelch.

Two magnificent drypoints by Albert Sterner -- Meditation and The Promised Land – will also be found listed on that page. In particular, The Promised Land seems like a potent symbol of man’s journey through the decade of the Great Depression. In total, there are over two hundred works of original art created by American artists from the Depression decade of the 1930’s and into the early 1940’s listed in the 'American Art of the Depression' directory.
