🖌Maxim Harry Lubovsky

Lubovsky, Maxim Harry (1877-1967)
Lubovsky was born in Bialystok, Russia and immigrated to the US in 1907, becoming a citizen in 1937. He exhibited at the Municipal Art Gallery in 1914, where his painting “In the Depths” was called “gruesome as a subject...but great for imaginative force” (Brooklyn Daily Eagle 11 Jan. 1914: 9); Lubovsky also was represented at a 1915 Friends of Young Artists show under the auspices of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. Lubovsky is one of the artists we don't have a lot of information on and are looking to do more research on in 2025! Have you heard of him or seen his work other places?
