Reginald Marsh, Merry-Go-Round: A Double-Sided Work
Reginald Marsh was one of the few American painters who truly embraced the personality and energy of New York City. His art, which almost entirely depicts New York, is a lively social and historical record of the city in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.
Even though there were many of interesting topics to research in New York, Marsh chose to paint Coney Island. In contrast to other New York sites that were often painted by painters from different schools, Coney Island had not yet been explored when Marsh started painting it. Early in his career, Marsh fell in love with Coney Island and was the first painter to fully take advantage of its flamboyant wonders, which included the surging holiday crowds, the crazy humour of Luna Park, the freaks and macabre images, the ceaseless movement of merry-go-rounds and revolving bowls, the breath-taking flight of swinging chairs, the confusion of signs, and the babel of signs.
Marsh's monumentalization and glorifying of the Coney Island entertainment and wild crowds is exemplified by Merry-Go-Round. "Marsh's crowds were not made up of faceless robots; they were individuals sharply characterised, with a gift for catching the traits that made each one unique," the artist writes. The ugliness of a great portion of the human race, the grotesqueness of middle-aged fat, the slick coarseness of young males, and the vulgar lushness of the ladies were all exploited by him. His eye was not gentle. His people did exist, and one simply had to see the typical tube throng to understand how true to reality, albeit with room for creative interpretation, his vision was."

If you're a fan of Impressionist Art then you will love this poster.
The print is beautiful. Exactly what I expected and arrived on time. Customer service is top notch. Would order again.
Ordered a print of "The Secret School" for my husband who has been hinting for it for a long while. The quality is *excellent* - I love it, and know he will too when he gets it as a gift! Very impressed with the quality -- also the packing... zero issues coming "across the pond" here to the US. :)
After finding the print I wanted to purchase I also chose a black wood frame with mount and the picture looks fantastic ,will definitely be ordering again .
I bought two prints and l love them both. The quality is very good.
They arrived very quickly and well packaged.
We just received the fine art print (artist PS Kroyer) and are thrilled. The quality of the print and the art paper used are extraordinary and preserve perfectly the colours of the original art. It was extremely well wrapped and packed in a very solid cardboard tube. I highly recommend Gallery Thane for their service and speed of completing our order.
Really great print, excellent quick service, thanks.
Fantastic service from James and delighted with the print , frame and delivery so prompt.
Highly recommend.
Bought this print to replace a faded framed copy. It arrived sooner than expected and very well wrapped. The paper was excellent quality. It’s back on the wall looking brighter and better than ever.
I was looking for something different to adorn my office walls following a recent refurbishment and these fitted the bill perfectly. I work for the company they were originally designed for, so really like the heritage and retro feel they bring. Paired with some black IKEA Ribba frames they look really striking. A little pricey, but worth the investment I feel.
I purchased this as a remembrance to my grandmother Mamoo, who was born in 1895. She had a print hanging in her living room. As a child I just loved it. I had it for years then passed it a long to her great granddaughter but I wanted a small print. It is just beautiful and I love it!
Great!!
Excellent company, no hesitation in recommending them at all. Order was posted within a day and arrived well packed. The print itself is fantastic quality. James was extremely helpful with a couple of questions I had. Many thanks.
Immediate dispatch and great quality.
This is not my first order from Gallery Thane and they never disappoint. The print quality of the paper are fantastic. They are my go to company whenever I'm buying a new print. Highly recommended.
