Born in Paris to American artist parents, Reginald Marsh (1898 – 1954) began drawing by the age of 3. His family returned to the United States in 1900. Marsh began his formal studies in art at Yale University and the Art Students League, working as an illustrator for various New York publications, and after studying abroad in Paris in the ‘20s, made a serious turn to fine painting. He was best known for his depictions of the homeless, the intoxicated, and the debaucherous, as his affinity for people was the driving inspiration of his life’s work. His art is represented in the collections of numerous prestigious institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.
