About Margery Ryerson:
Noted for her portraits of children, Ryerson also excelled as an oil painter. For a twenty-year period (c.1920-40) Miss Ryerson taught art in New York settlement houses in exchange for the privilege of painting and drawing the children in their care. It was during this period that the artist created what many scholars regard as her greatest achievement, a series of paintings and fine prints depicting children of the underclass and immigrants with such respect and sensitivity that they found universal appeal and demand. The United Nations Children’s Fund has used her images on greeting cards and stamps. Associated American Artists NYC published a series of her etchings and lithographs. Many regard her images of children at play, in performance, and in repose, as some of the most beautiful ever created. Her etchings and lithographs were included in exhibitions worldwide, including the Paris Salon, 1921, and at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1922.
During her lifetime she was represented by Chapellier, Macbeth and Grand Central Art Galleries in New York. She also was a member of the National Academy of Design.
