Harry Mathes

Harry Mathes

Harry Mathes (1882 – 1969) was an American painter in the New York art scene from the early twentieth century until his death in 1969. A graduate of the Chicago Art Institute and training in Paris, London, Munich and Italy between the wars (and with Hans Hoffman), he settled in New York and was a frequent exhibitor at the Lynn Kottler and Pietrantonio galleries and at juried shows. His stylistic repertoire encompassed post-impressionism, cubist and abstract expressionism. Mathes was awarded lifetime membership in the New York Art Students’ League, where as artist-in-residence he provided ongoing assistance to students over several decades. Pre-1950’s colleagues included Menkes, Lausman, Kuniyoshi, Tschadasov, J. Taylor and N. Katz. Midwestern artist Joe Jones credits Mathes for “training” him during a brief residence in St. Louis as one of the “Blue Lantern” waterfront group in the early 1920’s. Mathes was frequently reviewed favorably in the New York Times and Herald Tribune, and is listed in Who Was Who in American Art. The recipient of numerous awards and prizes, he was photographed by Paul Juley in the 1950’s and 60’s and exhibited at the Museum of American Art as part of the Peter Juley and Son Collection documenting American artists, which currently resides in the archive of the Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian Institution.
