Biography:
Reginald Marsh began his career as a newspaper illustrator. After studying in Paris from 1925 to 1926, he devoted himself to painting. His subject matter was life New York city, particularly the lower class life around Coney Island and the Bowery District. His work was not as much of a social protest as it was a display of Marsh’s desire to paint colorful but ugly subjects. Marsh himself hailed from a wealthy family and his work can be seen as a rejection of his affluent upbringing.
