A contemporary of Mark Rothko, Arshile and Wm Baziotes. Kupferman was drawn while living in Provencetown to similar subjects, such as surreal aspects of nature Tamed and nature as chaos. With the environment of the beach for inspiration he began a series of fluid works in watercolor and oils which he would later complete in meticulous detail in Boston.

Mrs Gasparo

Chapter 3. Poetry and Boose, or A Night at the Village Vanguard Then Maggie Egri, the hat-check girl who doubled as songstress, and Oronzo Gasparo, an artist by day and Vanguard waiter by night, were introduced by Eli. Their big number was "Rose of Washington Square." Maggie carried Oronzo piggyback off the dance floor at the end.

In the summer of 1930, Preston Dickinson, along with the artist and his companion Oronzo Gasparo, went to France and Spain to seek out a domestic and artistic utopia where living costs would be very cheap. They envisioned living magically abroad and producing paintings for galleries to be sold either in New York or Paris. But with the Great Depression taking its first tolls and the Daniel Gallery struggling (closing in 1932), the two artists saw their funds and optimism dwindle.
