Phyllis (Pele) De Lappe

Phyllis (Pele) De Lappe (1916-2007) was an American artist whose works often depicted everyday scenes of American life. She was a prominent figure in the Social Realist movement, which focused on social issues and the lives of ordinary people. De Lappe's masterful use of black and white lithography and linoleum prints, as seen in works such as "Subway" (1932), "The Migrant" (1939), and "Platform: Third Avenue" (1937), capture the essence of human interaction and societal struggles with striking realism and emotional depth.
