Description
Discover the remarkable story of Morris Hirshfield in this MIT Press publication. Once a famous self-taught American artist of the 1940s, Hirshfield's journey is a unique study of how artists can disappear from public memory. Despite being a garment worker and slipper manufacturer with no formal art training, he achieved international recognition for his wildly stylized paintings. This book examines his rise to fame, including his peak visibility in 1943 when the Museum of Modern Art hosted a one-man show of his work. His art, which features female figures, animals, and landscapes, earned the admiration of legendary figures like Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, and the French surrealists. This monograph provides a deep look into his life and the impact of his work on the art world during a transformative era.
