Eric Owen

Eric Owen is a social realism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Eric Owen painted quiet, single-sheet watercolors in 1948, leaving titles blank and letting the paper speak. One untitled sheet shows a lone figure under a streetlamp at dusk, its edges still damp when signed. These small works belong to the late 1940s American scene, where artists favored small brushes and soft light over bold gestures. Tap Untitled (1948, Watercolour) to zoom in on the lamp’s halo and the way the pigment pools at the paper’s lower edge.
