Description
Arthur George Murphy creates the feeling of a pen and ink drawing using the more formidable tools of lithography, successfully capturing a marina on a foggy afternoon. As well, Murphy has executed the finely wrought Expressionist scene on delicate tissue wove, his mastery of the lithographic technique is evident in the harmonious combination of materials and composition.
This impression is from the estate of Joseph Allen, State Director of the California WPA Federal Art Project.
