Philip ReismanJudaica Etching Passover Seder Scene WPA Artist
About the Item
Philip Reisman, a Social Realist painter and printmaker known for his views of New
York City street life.
Fourteen of Mr. Reisman's etchings of New York life were in the show Works on Paper at the Museum of the City of New York. His work is also represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington and the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, among others.
A three-month exhibition of Mr. Reisman's work from the 1960's and 1970's appeared at the Museum of the City of New York. The artist was elected an Academician at the
National Academy of Design. A book about him, "Philip Reisman: People Are His
Passion," by Dr. Martin H. Bush, was published in 1987 by Wichita State University.
Mr. Reisman was born in Warsaw in 1904, and came to New York with his
family at the age of 4. He studied at the Art Students League in the 1920's, and had
his first solo show at the Painters and Sculptors Gallery in New York City in 1931.
Later in the 1930's, he worked as a painter and muralist on the Federal Art Project of
the WPA, Works Progress Administration, the Government-sponsored effort to create work for artists during the Depression.
For many years, Mr. Reisman exhibited at the ACA Gallery in Manhattan, along
with other social commentators, including Jack Levine, Robert Gwathmey, Philip Evergood and William Gropper. He also taught art classes at his studio and at the Educational Alliance.

- Zen Minimalist Flowers Etching American Modernist Ed Baynard Pop Art PrintBy Ed BaynardLocated in Surfside, FLED BAYNARD (American, 1940-2016) Flowers, Flowers in a Vase, Etching. 1979/1980, Hand signed, dated l.r., Hand numbered from small edition 12/24, Dimensions: 23 by 19 in. Framed 25 by 21 in Born in Washington, D.C. in 1940. Raised in Washington, D.C. and newly graduated from high school, he flew to Europe living off and on in Paris and London. During this time, he designed costumes for Jimi Hendrix, worked as a graphic designer for the Beatles as well as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Returning to New York, he dedicated his life to art after a surprise success with his first show in 1971 at the Willard Gallery in NYC. Ed's images are Zen-like in their simplicity and grace rendered in a flat, graphic style that recalls Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. His watercolors are luminous, like the rest of his representations regardless of the medium. The Japanese inspired ukiyo-e style woodblock prints and lithograph works he created at Tyler Graphics in 1980 contain a 20th century "floating world" sensibility. Ed's wish was to bring harmony, color, and a meditative stillness to this chaotic planet. He did so in a gentle and powerful way, always as an expression of his deep gratitude for the love and beauty, friendship, and concerns he held dearest. His first solo exhibition was in 1971 at New York's legendary Willard Gallery on the recommendation of Agnes Martin. Baynard went on to have exhibitions at galleries including Betty Parsons Gallery, New York (1973); Marian Goodman Gallery, New York (1977); John Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco (1980); and Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York (1980/81).. Baynard manages to retain a simplicity of form inspired by a love of Japanese Woodblock prints. His new works reflect the same poetry of his earlier paintings, retaining his stylized compositions with their Zen like minimalism and Oriental calm, along with a new sense of rhythm and movement. Baynard uses familiar themes such as flowers, plants, pots, and vases, incorporating them into his delicate watercolor still lifes, thus creating stunning visual feasts. He was included in the 1972 Landscape exhibition at MoMA NY alone with other luminaries James Boynton...Category
