Lawrence Kupferman

Lawrence Kupferman is a Regionalism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Detroit Institute of Arts.

Lawrence Kupferman painted scenes of New England in gouache, a water-based paint that stays flat and bright on paper. In 1938 he made Old Roxbury, a gouache view of the Boston suburb’s brick houses and hilly streets. The style belongs to the 1930s American scene tradition, where artists focused on everyday places rather than grand themes.

You can step right into his paper world by opening Old Roxbury, notice how the paint stays crisp and the colors pop against the white background.
