Item Description
An original limited edition lithograph by Tully Filmus, signed and numbered by the artist. This is unmatted and unframed and is NOT in perfect condition. The upper two corners and bottom edge have yellowing due to sunlight damage. But it is still a lovely image and will look well when framed. Image Size: 15" x 22" approx.
Tully Filmus (1903-1998), was a realist painter and portraitist who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Barnes Foundation. He lived in NYC in the 1930s and 1940s, then moved to Great Neck where he lived with his family until 1991. At that time he moved to Great Barrington to live with his sons, painters Michael and Stephen Filmus.
A scholarship in 1927 enabled him to spend two years in Europe, where he studied for a period with Andre Lhote in Paris. In New York, he shared a studio with Willem de Kooning in the early 1930's, and worked on Works Progress Administration projects in New York City in 1936. In the late thirties he taught at the American Artists School in New York and from 1938 to 1950 at the Cooper Union School of Art.
He is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
