Est: -George Benjamin Luks (1867 - 1933) "Afraid I Will Not Be Home For Dinner" Pencil on Paper. Signed on lower right, and inscribed on upper left. Known as a 'real character', full of life both in reality and in his painting, George Luks was a leading figure in the New York art world in the early part of the 20th century. He did lively portraits and genre paintings of everyday people engaged in activity rather than self consciously posed. In Philadelphia, Luks became an illustrator with the Philadelphia Press and covered the Cuban war as an artist-correspondent. He also did comic strips and caricature. Among his close friends were John Sloan, Robert Henri, William Glackens and Everett Shinn. By 1896, with that group, Luks became a resident of New York City. Today, Luks’ work is found in many important private and public collections, including the Addison Gallery of American Art (Andover, Massachusetts), the Barnes Museum (Merion, Pennsylvania), the Brooklyn Museum, the Chattanooga Art Association (Tennessee), the Cleveland Art Museum, the Delgado Museum (New Orleans), the Detroit Art Institute, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Milwaukee Art Institute, the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute (Utica, New York), the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.), the New York Public Library, the Phillips Gallery (Washington, D.C.), and the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York).
