This should give you an idea how highly I regard your article , & I certainly as you can see plan to take advantage of it." Signed "Stephen Etnier".

The American realist painter Stephen Morgan Etnier (1903-1984) favored industrial and working scenes mixing realism and luminism within his compositions. Etnier attended Yale Art School and Yale University but was dismissed for poor grades. He then entered Haverford College subsequently transferring to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In that 4 year span, he studied and apprenticed with Henry Breckinridge, John Carroll and Rockwell Kent. Etnier launched his career with a solo exhibition at New York's Dudensing Galleries in 1931, subsequently moving to the Milch Gallery. His work reflects his life and includes Pennsylvania street scenes and waterfronts of Haiti and the Bahamas. His 1938 mural "Waiting for the Mail" was installed at the U.S. Post Office in Spring Valley, NY and "Mail for New England" graced the wall of Boston's Everett Branch Post Office before being restored and reinstalled at Boston's Clarendon Street Post Office in 2010. In collaboration with the architect James Saunders, Etnier built "Old Cove" on land he purchased in South Harpswell, Maine in 1948. His living room offered him a view of the ocean through Mondrian-inspired window frames. Fine .
