WILLIAM MEYEROWITZ

William Meyerowitz was born in Russia, and came to the United States, to New York in 1908. He studied art at the National Academy of Design and became a member of that organization in 1959. He also belonged to the Society of American Etchers, the Society of Independent Artists, the Philadelphia Print Club, the American Artist Congress, the North Shore Arts Association, the Rockport Art Association, the Gloucester Society of Artists, and exhibited at the Gallery-on-the-Moors in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Meyerowitz exhibited at the National Academy of Design starting in 1929 with prizes. He won prizes at the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts (1923), North Shore Arts Association (1932, 1939, 1940, and 1950). He was elected an Academician in Italy and received a Gold Medal, January 1980.

From the mid 1920's Meyerowitz and his wife, Theresa Bernstein spent their summers in their Gloucester, Massachusetts home at 44 Mount Pleasant Street.

All of the paintings exhibited below were purchased privately, have interesting provenance, and are being shown on the internet for the first time.

In the 1950's, the Grumbacher Art Supply Company in New York City decided on the "Palette Project" to give their artist customers greater visibility. If an artist would decorate a free palette the company used their biographies and palette in its advertising and promotional material as well as in special exhibitions. In 1958-59, the palettes toured the United States to acclaim and artists of national reputation felt honored to be chosen to illustrate their virtuosity.
"The Violinist" by William Meyerowitz is not a sketch but a fully realized painting as the artist knew that it would be subject to national scrutiny. The painting was purchased from the Estate of Mrs. Grumbacher
