Painting
George Luks painted urban scenes and portraits with a gestural, energetic brushwork that captured the vitality of early twentieth-century New York. A member of the Ashcan School, he depicted street vendors, boxers, and working-class subjects with psychological acuity and formal sophistication, rejecting academic refinement in favor of raw, immediate observation. His work was shown at MoMA in major surveys of American art during his lifetime and after. Luks's bold impasto and dark palette established him as a central figure in American realism.
