Description:

|
In 1935, Samuel Rosenberg declared that, "So far as having a personal style is concerned, artists can do that when they are old." Over the course of the 1930s, he experimented with various methods to depict the people, buildings, and landscape of Pittsburgh, the city where he would work and teach for sixty years. In Sideshow, Rosenberg combined the colorful palette and populist subject matter of Regionalism with a faceted Cubist surface. His subject is the sideshow of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which set up its tents in Pittsburgh every July.
