Joseph Meierhans (1890–1981) is recognized as one of the most significant modernist painters associated with Bucks County and the New Hope artists. His extensive body of work spans over five decades, and began with a representational Ashcan school and evolved into various forms of modernism, including cubism, semi-abstract, abstract, and abstract expressionism.
In the 1940s and 1950s, he exhibited at the Artist's Gallery in New York, where he held five solo exhibitions.
