Oil on canvas
One of America’s most important meetings is expertly rendered in this magnificent oil painting entitled Financial Heroes by American artist Marcia Gaylor. In the fall of 1907, a failed attempt to corner the copper market in Montana sent the U.S. economy into a shocking tailspin. After a frightening near collapse of the New York Stock Exchange, banker J.D. Morgan orchestrated a desperate attempt to stave off the impending disintegration of the brokerage system. The inexorable catastrophe never came to fruition, thanks to the monumental meeting of financial minds illustrated in this painting.
On November 2, 1907, this group of bankers and business magnates, including J.P. Morgan, George B. Cortelyou (then the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury), John D. Rockefeller, George F. Baker and more, worked through the night in Morgan’s library — ultimately saving the U.S. economy and raising awareness that the economy needed a powerful governing body. Set under the serious glow of lamp light, each of these financial heroes’ faces demonstrates the intellect, authority and responsibility entrusted to them to ensure the financial safety of the country they loved.
Based in California, Marcia Gaylor is known for her historical scenes that celebrate the power of capitalism. Before pursuing painting as a career, she earned a business degree and an MBA from the University of Southern California, and her financial background clearly influenced the direction of her art later in her life. Most of her paintings focus on the economic history of the United States as she captures the financial heart of the country's largest cities. The result is a body of work that stands in colorful tribute to the economy and the power of capital. Today, she remains an active member of the California Art Club, Oil Painters of America, Women Painters of America, as well as the American Impressionist Society.
