Label TextIn 1939, a critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer described Drabkin as an "artist with a remarkable ability for choosing some seemingly common-place urban scene , molding it into a pattern of harmonious, decorative beauty, and, best of all, injecting quiet bits of humor into such a picture." (April 23,1939)
