Harry’s bas-relief plywood work focuses on New York City icons like Katz’s Deli, Yankee Stadium, Ebbets Field, Abbott & Costello, Marilyn Monroe, the Marx Brothers and Coney Island. His interest in creating art from the Depression era comes from a respect for a time when people suffered.
“Nobody was jealous of anyone else because no one had nothing,” Harry says.
Growing up in poor Brooklyn neighborhoods, Harry worked as a teenager backstage at the old Paramount Theater designing movie posters, then moved on to building movie sets and working in the entertainment industry. At the same time he created his own art and watched greats like Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock at work.
Harry created thousands of pieces over the years, including works commissioned by famous actors and athletes like James Cagney and Darryl Strawberry, in addition to all those who purchased his work at art fairs and markets around New York, most notably on weekends in Union Square.
