1. George Wesley Bellows, N.A. (1882-1925) is known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City. An innovative printmaker, he worked closely with the great printer Bolton Brown, one of the most significant American lithographers of the 20th century.
2.Edward Hopper, N.A. (1882-1967) trained as an illustrator, studied painting, and then turned to etching, influenced by his colleague and friend, Martin Lewis. Hopper was drawn to night scenes. Both the deep darkness and the unusual viewpoint create dramatic tension in Night Shadows.
