About the Item
Signed lower right, 'Schoener' for Jason Schoener (American, 1919-1997) and painted circa 1970. Titled 'Choruscating Landscape' (labels, verso). Accompanied with artist card on original backing.
The nephew of the artist William Zorach and cousin of artist Dahlov Zorach Ipcar, Jason Schoener first studied with his uncle and cousin and, subsequently, at the Cleveland Institute of Art, Columbia University and the Art Students League in New York. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he taught sculpture, ceramics and crafts at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute. In 1953, Schoener joined the faculty of the California College of Arts and Crafts where he served as teacher, administrator and, eventually, dean for more than forty years. Additional teaching assignments included at Mills College in Oakland, California, and at the Athens Technological Institute in Greece. In 1994, the artist donated twenty-one of his war-time paintings to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.
Jason Schoener’s early paintings were narrative and figurative, featuring the working men and women he encountered in his daily life. By mid-career, he was primarily painting abstract landscapes in brilliant, and often surprising, color. For over forty years, he exhibited nationwide with success including regularly, from 1960-1983, at New York's Midtown Gallery. The artist's work is held in private and public collections nationwide including in the permanent collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Oakland Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, among others. Schoener's paintings may also be found in the collection of the U.S. Department of State for exhibition in American Embassies world-wide. The Schoener papers are housed in the collection of the Archives of American Art.

- Abstract Expressionist Landscape Jay Milder Rhino Horn Painting American Pop ArtBy Jay MilderLocated in Surfside, FLThis came from the collection of the Horace Richter Gallery, Old jaffa, Israel These were done in the 1990's Hand signed and dated. titled Old Jaffa. Jay Milder (born 1934) is an American artist and a figurative expressionist painter of the second generation New York School. Old Testament themes such as Jacob's Ladder and Noah’s Ark, and the Jewish mystical beliefs of the Kabbalah, are recurring themes in Milder’s paintings which are presented as archetypal images that recur in the basic karma, make-up and need of human nature. Internationally exhibited, Milder is included in the collections of many national and international museums. He has been the subject of two, recent retrospectives in Brazil in 2007 at the National Museum Brasilia and, in 2006, at the Museum of Modern Art, in Rio de Janeiro. He is renowned in Sao Paulo, one of the major international centers for street and public art, as a seminal influence on graffiti artists. Jay Milder was born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1934. His grandparents, who came from the Ukraine, were descendants of the Hasidic mystic, Rabbi Nachman. As he listened to family stories his interest in spiritualism and mysticism increased, and became an important influence on his philosophy of life and art. Later, when he arrived in New York, he was drawn to the Theosophical Society and the teaching of Helena Blavatsky. In 1954 Milder visited Europe where he studied painting with André L’Hote, and sculpture with Ossip Zadkine. He spent much time studying at the Louvre Museum, and at the studio of Stanley Hayter. During his Paris years the paintings of the Jewish painter Chaim Soutine, primarily influenced him. Milder returned to the United States in 1956, and he began studying painting at the Chicago Art Institute. He exhibited with the Momentum Group, an alliance of artists who were particularly dedicated to the progression of figurative art and its global origins. In 1957, Milder spent the summer in Mexico for a summer where he exhibited in Puebla. That year he received the Mexican Government’s Honor Award for artists. In the summer of 1958, Milder studied with Hans Hofmann in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

He exhibited his work at the Sun Gallery, with his contemporaries, including Mary Frank, Red Grooms, Bob Thompson, Lester Johnson, Emilio Cruz and Alex Katz, among others. During this period his painting began to incorporate iconography of birds, animals, humans and animal/human hybrids. In 1958, Milder, Bob Thompson and Red Grooms, founded the City Gallery in the Chelsea section of New York City. The gallery moved downtown and became the Delancey Street Museum and an early site for ‘Happenings’,which Milder participated in. He showed his first major series called Subway Runners in 1960 at the Martha Jackson Gallery in New York City. Milder began a group of smaller paintings, entitled “Messiah Series”, in the late 1960s. These were fully expressionistic earth toned pictures, and he completed around 250 paintings in the series, based on biblical themes from the Old Testament. When 40 of these paintings were shown in a traveling exhibition premiering at the Richard Green Gallery in New York City, in 1987, art critic Donald Kuspit wrote in ArtForum Magazine: “after Nolde’s biblical pictures, these are the best and most integral group of biblical pictures in the 20th century.” During the 1970s, Milder co-founded a collective group called Rhino Horn with Peter Passuntino, Peter Dean, Benny Andrews, Nicholas Sperakis, Michael Fauerbach, Ken Bowman, Leonel Gongora, and Bill Barrell...Category
