Excerpt from Jerome Myers Memorial Exhibition: April 22 to May 28, 1941 Jerome Myers life's work may be divided broadly into paintings, drawings, pastels and etchings of the East Side on the one hand, and numerous portraits of himself and members of his immediate family on the other. There are a few scattered canvases based upon pure fantasy. His ultimate reputation as an artist will undoubtedly rest on the work pertaining to the East Side, for it is here that the abundance of material affords ample opportunity for esti mating his true stature.

The Eight (Ash Can School), artists who joined ranks in 1908 to challenge the conservative dominance of the National Academy, does not count Jerome Myers among its number. Yet the pioneering work done by Myers places him in the forefront of contemporary realist artists. His focused concentration depicting the environment and inhabitants of New York Citys Lower East Side immigrant neighborhood catapults Jerome Myers into the forefront of artists who boldly sought out expressions of contemporary life. Myerss work allows us to understand these immigrant neighborhoods in a way that would not be possible today if his art did not exist. This book examines Myerss biography and art in detail, establishing not only his preeminant claim to a position at the forefront of the Eight, but also his role as artist-historian of a bygone neighborhood and the positive life of immigrants who lived there.
