  • F. Townsend Morgan Artist's Proof "Quiet Harbor" (1934)

    F. Townsend Morgan Artist's Proof "Quiet Harbor" (1934)

    Est: $500 - $750

    Franklin Townsend Morgan (American, 1883-1965). "Quiet Harbor" etching on paper, 1934. Artist's proof. Signed and dated in lower left of plate. Hand-signed with "proof" inscribed in pencil beneath image. An evocative artist's proof by American artist Franklin Townsend Morgan depicting a lone sailboat on a calm harbor, petite shrubberies scatter the sides of the background while dramatic clouds fill the night sky above. The towering stands tall above the low horizon of the sea, as a worker is shown tending to items on the ship and another stands holding the sail. During the Great Depression, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration sent Moran to Key West along with a group of fellow artists with the goal to lift Key West out of bankruptcy by creating a touristic image of beauty through the creation of art showing the nature and workings of the island. This etching was likely created as part of that effort. Size of image: 11.5" W x 8.5" H (29.2 cm x 21.6 cm); of frame: 20" W x 15" H (50.8 cm x 38.1 cm) Franklin Townsend Morgan, born in Brooklyn, New York, studied at the Pratt Institute and the Art Students League, where he was taught by influential artists such as Dow, Bridgman, and Pennell. An accomplished painter, printmaker, and illustrator, Morgan began his career in Philadelphia, where he was associated with the Sketch Club, the Print Club, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His work documented cities and notable sites across the United States and the West Indies, including a renowned 1934 series of social protest prints depicting Pittsburgh tenements. During the Great Depression, he worked under the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) in Key West, Florida, producing a significant body of prints capturing the island’s architecture, natural beauty, and marine life to promote tourism and aid the struggling community. From 1935 to 1941, he served as director of the Key West Art Center. Morgan’s award-winning prints are held in prestigious collections, including the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Treasury Department of the United States.
