George Benjamin LuksPortrait of a Slum Boy Ashcan Schoolcirca 1900 - 1920
circa 1900 - 1920
About the Item
Signed upper right
Private Collection
Luks was famous for painting people from impoverished slum areas.
The work was most likely painted from life and portrays a youth haphazardly dressed. Luks describes the subject in quick rapid-fire brush strokes in the post-impressionist style.
On a recent trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I snapped this photo of a George Luks currently hanging. It's George Luks " The Old Duchess" who was a woman of depraved rank.
The condition is very good. There is a heavy layer of dammar varnish covering the work and yellowing it. When clean colors should sing. Scattered craquelure.

Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life. An artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art Gallery in Milan, while maintaining connections with important galleries, such as Marlborough Fine Art in London and Galerie Koch in Hanover. The artwork represents the famous Velasca Tower in Milan. This artwork was exhibited during the Daniela Gullotta...Category
