Sketch of woman in Sunday hat on carousel horse, rendered on a page of The New York Times, Sunday, June 3, 1951. The New York City of Reginald Marsh's paintings is a swirl of people in motion, bustling, lively and brash. He was influenced by the urban realists of the early 20th Century, but added his own Baroque flair. He is especially known for his depictions of the entertainments of the working class, in settings such as Coney Island. According to the Archives of American Art of the Smithsonian Institution, Marsh drew constantly, and left behind over 200 sketchbooks and hundreds of individual drawings.
After graduating from Yale University, he worked as a free-lance illustrator in New York City for the Daily News and The New Yorker and studied at the Art Students League. In the 1930s, he did murals for the W.P.A., and in 1943, he was elected a full academician to the National Academy of Design.
