Abraham Manievich was a Ukrainian-born painter and printmaker who is known for his contributions to the Ashcan School of American art. He was born in 1881 in Ukraine and immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s. Manievich studied art at the National Academy of Design in New York City and later became a member of the New York Society of Independent Artists.
Manievich's work was characterized by his use of bold, expressive brushstrokes and a palette of bright, saturated colors. He was particularly interested in depicting the lives of working-class people in urban settings, and his work often featured scenes of daily life in New York City. Manievich was a member of the Ashcan School, a group of artists who were known for their realist style and their focus on urban and social themes.
In addition to his work as a painter, Manievich was also an accomplished printmaker, and he produced a number of lithographs and etchings during his career. His work can be found in numerous public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Manievich died in 1942 in New York City.
