Artist Biography:
George Picken studied at the Art Students League in New York as well as in Paris, France. He was a member of The American Artists Congress; American Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Gravers; An American Group; American Association of University Professors; Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors; "The Islanders"; National Society of Mural Painters; Society of American Graphic Artists; and Society of Audubon Artists. During his most creative and productive years while living in New York City he was among a very select stable of artists handled by the Frank Rehn Gallery. Those artists included Edward Hopper, Charles Burchfield, Alexander Brook, Henry Mattson, Reginald Marsh and other fine American artists. The poster is in excellent condition for its age, there is a light center crease as well as some creasing in the corners but this does not take away from this excellent example
