George Marinko was an award-winning regionalist painter and a highly innovative surrealist. He lived and worked in Connecticut. Marinko studied at the Waterbury Art School and the Yale School of Fine Arts. His works were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, the Corcoran Gallery and the Carnegie Museum, along with other prestigious institutions. He showed at the New York World’s Fair and the Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939. Marinko’s paintings are in the permanent collections of over a dozen museums, including the Wadsworth Atheneum and the Yale University Art Gallery. A solo show of his surrealist works was held in 1989 at The John Slade Ely House Center for Contemporary Art in New Haven, Connecticut. Whether working in a regionalist or surrealist style, Marinko’s works from the 1930s and 1940s are characterized by precise drafting, tight composition and a bright, clear palette as in the case of Blue Lake. Marinko is extensively listed in Who Was Who in American Art and all other standard references.

- Untitled (Vineyard Harbor)By Francis ChapinLocated in Chicago, ILA colorful view of Martha's Vineyard by Francis Chapin, from the 1930s. Francis Chapin, affectionately called the “Dean of Chicago Painters” by his colleagues, was one of the city’s most popular and celebrated painters in his day. Born at the dawn of the 20th Century in Bristolville, Ohio, Chapin graduated from Washington & Jefferson College near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before enrolling at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922. He would set down deep roots at the Art Institute of Chicago, exhibiting there over 31 times between 1926 and 1951. In 1927 Chapin won the prestigious Bryan Lathrop Fellowship from the Art Institute – a prize that funded the artist’s yearlong study trip to Europe. Upon his return to the United States, Chapin decided to remain in Chicago, noting the freedom Chicago artists have in developing independently of the pressure to conform to pre-existing molds (as was experienced by artists in New York, for example). Chapin became a popular instructor at the Art Institute, teaching there from 1929 to 1947 and at the Art Institute’s summer art school in Saugatuck, Michigan (now called Oxbow) between 1934 – 1938 (he was the director of the school from 1941-1945). A prolific painter, Chapin produced numerous works while traveling in Mexico, France, Spain, Saugatuck and Martha’s Vineyard, where he frequently spent summers and taught at the Old Sculpin Gallery there. Chapin was best recognized for his dynamic and vibrant images of Chicago during the 1930s and 40s. Chapin was a resident of the Old Town neighborhood where he lived and kept his studio on Menomonee Street for many years. Described as a “colorful figure, nearly 6 feet 6 inches tall, and thin, and usually wearing tweeds”, it is easy to imagine Chapin at work observing the busy street life of the city. In addition to his many exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago, Chapin’s work was shown during his lifetime at such institutions as the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia; the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C.; the National Academy of Design, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, among others. Francis Chapin’s paintings are represented in the collections the Art Institute of Chicago; the Friedman Collection, Chicago; the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown; the Denver Art Museum; the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse; the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach...Category
