Leonard Baskin the Strabismic Jew Woodcut Print on Wove Signed & Titled 1955

About the Item

Leonard Baskin American Neo-Expressionism Movement Artist (1922-2000) The Strabismic Jew Woodcut Print on Wove Signed & Titled 1955 CITATION: See Museum of Modern Art, New York, accession no. 336. 1962 for similar example Inscribed "for Al" in pencil, framed unglazed Leonard Baskin (August 15, 1922 – June 3, 2000) was an American sculptor, draughtsman and graphic artist, as well as founder of the Gehenna Press (1942–2000). One of America's first fine arts presses, it went on to become "one of the most important and comprehensive art presses of the world", often featuring the work of celebrated poets, such as Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Anthony Hecht, and James Baldwin side by side with Baskin's bold, Stark, energetic and often dramatic black-and-white prints. Called a "Sculptor of Stark Memorials" by the New York Times, Baskin is also known for his wood, limestone, bronze, and large scale woodblock prints, which ranged from naturalistic to fanciful, and were frequently grotesque, featuring bloated figures or humans merging with animals. "His monumental bronze sculpture, The Funeral Cortege, graces the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D.C.".
