American artist🎨 Robert Sarsony is a self-taught painter and printmaker who began exhibiting in local shows in New Jersey in 1963. The following year he made his New York debut in a group show at Allied Artists.
From 1969-1974 he did a series of paintings based on book and magazine illustrations - "pop antiques," he calls them - from the 1920s-1940s.
Subjects ranged from silent movie photographs and pictures of important historical events to reproductions taken from period children's books.
