Howard van Dusen is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Howard van Dusen’s prints feel like secret postcards from a sleepy railroad town, all steam engines and shop signs in soft gray ink. He turned the everyday, billboards, storefronts, factory yards, into quiet little mysteries, like a snapshot left on a train seat. His work belongs on Gallery Tiles because you could walk into any midwestern diner and recognize his style in the way light hits a neon sign. Tap Print Collection (ca. 1917/1918) to see why small towns leave big shadows.
