182: JOHN COX (1915-1990) PENCIL SIGNED LITHOGRAPH

John Rogers Cox (1915-1990)
Wheat Shocks (1951)
The lithograph published by Associated American Artists on cream wove paper in an edition of 250 prints is signed by the artist in pencil lower right below the image.


John Rogers Cox was a gallery director (youngest in the nation at the time) before taking up painting himself. He was a regionalist when regionalism wasn't cool, producing the bulk of his modest output (fewer than 20 paintings total) after leaving the army at the end of World War Two. His legacy is formidable. Every painting he produced can be accounted for and most are held in the permanent collections of American museums. Those that aren't in museums are listed as being in important collections.
