"Alexander Kruse (1888-1972) was an Ashcan School-trained realist whose paintings, lithographs, etchings, and prints of New York City's working class were infused with empathy, theatricality, and wit, reflecting his belief that "art functions as entertainment." He was also a well known art critic, writing regular columns for the New York Post, the Brooklyn Eagle, and Art Digest in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s."madron.
