About the Item
Jazz Singer V is carved white oak from David Hostetler's Ohio property. It was inspired by his wife Susan, who would sing in Club Davd- his jazz club attached to his art studio. Part of a series of Jazz singer sculptures, all carved in wood first, some were then cast in bronze. It is the first series with the extended "gown" form. The curves in this sculpture all flow to give it a dynamic stance- you can feel her belting out a song!
Great for a credenza or entry way. Dynamic form. Signature along the bottom edge of the sculpture. David said he was done with white oak after this sculpture,,, too hard to carve!!! Made by the hand of a master carver. Rare in this mass computer driven world, no AI, no machines, a mallet and gouge and 69 years of carving experience!

- KossackLocated in Los Angeles, CAThis sculpture is part of our exhibition America Coast to Coast: Artists of the 1930s Kossack, c. late 1930s, polychromed cedar and walnut relief sculpture, carved signature under the base of the figure, 15 x 8 x 3 1/2 inches (figure), 10 x 19 inches (board), exhibited at Zeidler's solo exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Art, November - December, 1942 (label verso), label verso reads "Kossack / cedar & walnut / Avis Zeidler" About the Sculpture Kossack is typical of Aviz Zeidler’s direct carved wood sculptures of the 1930s. The subject looks directly at the viewer, unfeeling behind a polychromed stare. Seemingly influenced by two of her major teachers, California’s Ralph Stackpole and New York’s William Zorach, Zeidler drew on primitive traditions to create what one critic described as her “gruesome wood sculptures.” Rigid, solid, and unmoving are other words that characterize Zeidler’s statues which often seem to have the deeply rooted ancient power of a totem. Zeidler’s “grimacing artificiality does, indeed, manage to hold a sense of force,” is how The San Francisco Examiner art critic put it in 1938 when describing the artist’s award-winning entry at the San Francisco Art Museum. The same words could have applied to Kossack when it was exhibited at the museum four years later. Perhaps the artist was trying to contain the power of the fearsome Kossacks, the enemy of so many Eastern European peasants, by freezing the image in wood. About the Artist Avis Zeidler (Nemkoff) was a California-based artist who is principally known for her sculpture and drawings. She was born in Madison, Wisconsin, but moved to Northern California by the late 1920s where she majored in art at Berkely and studied with Lucien Labaudt, Ray Boynton...Category
