About the Item
"Nightlights" is the perfect name of this sparkling gorgeous piece by Alcalay. Dozens of colors are used to described a lively, moving street scene of night lights, including headlights, street lights, traffic lights, and reflected lights off windshields, cars, or wet ground. It is lively and almost musical in its constant movement across the canvas.
Albert Alcalay was born in Paris, France, of Yugoslav parentage, on the eve of World War I. The family returned to Belgrade where he attended secondary school and was apprenticed to an artist. At that time, he began studying architecture. When World War II started, he joined the Yugoslavian army and became a prisoner of war. Upon regaining freedom he settled in Rome, where he began painting. In 1951, he and his wife Vera, moved to the United States and settled for the rest of their lives.
He lived and worked during American Modernism and the Pop Art period though he is considered an American Abstract artist also known as Abstract Expressionist painter. He had his first individual show at the Swetzoff Gallery, Boston, Massachusetts, in 1952. In 1959, he was a Guggenheim Fellow and taught at Harvard University, from 1960 to 1982. Alcalay’s work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, the Museum of Modern Art in Rome, Colby College, Simmons College, Smith College and the University of Massachusetts, among others.
