Paul Resika
Purple and Black

1990

About the Item

Paul Resika was born in New York City in 1928. He began taking painting lessons at age nine, greatly encouraged by his Russian émigré mother. At twelve years old, he began studying with Sol Wilson. In his teenage years, he studied in Provincetown, Massachusetts, with Hans Hofmann, becoming Hofmann’s monitor: a significant honor for a young artist. He had his first exhibition at the George Dix Gallery in New York City at nineteen years old. He later traveled and studied in Venice, Italy, and elsewhere in Europe. This 1990 work bears all the earmarks of Resika’s dynamic style: deft use of negative space, highly developed layering in the background colors, and masterful application of perceived light. Resikia’s distinctive squared perspective is also featured in this unique mix of water color and ink.
