Item Details
Description
John 'Jack' Savitsky (American, 1910-1991), Two Pictures of Miners

the first a crayon on paper of miners with a train and village scene beyond, signed and dated 1984 (Frame dimensions 10 1/2 x 14 1/4 in.); the second an ink on paper, depiction of a miner in profile, signed and dated 1984 (Frame dimensions 21 5/8 x 17 5/8 in.) (some scuffing to frame).
John Savitsky, also known as "Coal Miner Jack," was a coal miner around Lansford, Pennsylvania for over forty years. During his free time, he would paint signs for windows and trucks, as well as murals for local speakeasies. He was diagnosed with "black lung" in his fifties, and since he could no longer work in the mines, he took to painting full time. His work is in numerous public and private collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
