Stefan Hirsch

Stefan Hirsch (January 2, 1899 – September 28, 1964) was an American artist. Many of his paintings have the difficult edges, smooth surfaces, and simplified forms of the precisionists and their typical subjects—cityscapes and industrial scenes—are sometimes along with his, but in general his works have an emotional element and, as one critic as said, "take on an otherworldly tone" that sets them apart. In adjunct to perform showing a personal credit of precisionism, he produced paintings, drawings, and prints in the social realist, Mexican muralist, and surrealist styles as skillfully as yet lifes, portraits, and landscapes that defy simple classification. His pretend achieved valuable recognition from 1919 onward, has been widely collected, and is today found in many American museums including the Phillips Collection, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Corcoran Gallery.
