Douglas W. GORSLINE

Douglas W. Gorsline (1913–1985) was an American printmaker and painter whose work captured the pulse and poise of 20th-century urban life. A graduate of Yale and the Art Students League, Gorsline developed a refined approach to realism infused with a subtle sense of motion and modernity. His prints from the 1940s and 1950s often evoke the everyday poetry of American cities—train stations, diners, and street corners—reminiscent of contemporaries like Reginald Marsh or William Hopper. Today, his prints are held in collections including the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Though he later settled in France, Gorsline’s best-known prints remain rooted in the distinctive realism of mid-century American life.
