Known primarily for his murals, Edgar Britton was also a painter in oil
and watercolor and a sculptor in bronze. His work, with
"simplified, weighty forms", (Kennedy 95) was obviously influenced
by the social-realist style of the Mexican muralists including Diego
Rivera, Jose Orozco, and David Siqueiros.
Britton was born in Kearney, Nebraska and studied at the University of Iowa and with Grand Wood from 1920 to 1924.
His
reputation was established during the Depression (showing 500 of 2478 characters). |
