About the Item

Anthony Thomas Triano (American 1928-1997) Abstract 1966 Oil on Board Signed & Lower Right 30" x 15" inches unframed Submitted by Leni Robbins, whose source is Marianne Triano. Anthony Thomas Triano was a painter, sculptor, illustrator and educator, with a versatile and prolific talent. He is noted for his ability to embody the essence of humanity and nature upon large canvases, in terracotta sculptures and on jewel-like surfaces with monumentality. At the end of World War II, he enrolled at the Newark School of Fine Arts, where he studied under the GI Bill and became a friend and apprentice to the great sculptor Reuben Nakian. This affiliation presented an early sophistication and association with Jackson Pollack, Willem DeKooning, Franz Kline, Charles Egan and other dynamic personalities of the greatest art adventure of the 20th century. True to the legacy of this experience, Triano devoted his life to the study and development of a significantly universal style. His creations are constantly evolving in such series as: Each Day, The Wonders, Heaven and Earth, Geo, The Passions, A Sound of Angels, The Elegance of Women and The Olympians. His works have been exhibited in 37 one-man shows by galleries, corporations and museums, featured in publications and the subject of 12 television programs. His works are in private and public collections, including The Newark Museum, the Montclair Art Museum, the Lowe Museum in Coral Gables, the New York Lithographic Society, Abbott Laboratories, the Hartford Art Foundation, the Monmouth Historical Society, Johnson and Johnson, J.L. Hudson, House and Garden Magazine, Seton Hall University and Law School, the University of Alabama, William Paterson University, Wykeham Rise, the Golden Lemon on St. Kitts, the Library of Congress and Wuhan University in the People's Republic of China. In 1971 Triano was appointed artist-in-residence at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey and became a full-time professor the following year. This position added a new dimension to his constant research, greatly increased his artistic powers and enabled him to extend his legacy to others.

  • Chicago Jewish Modernist Mixed Media Surrealist Painting WPA Artist Mosaic Tiles
    By Alexander Raymond Katz
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Alexander Raymond Katz (Hungarian-American, 1895-1974) initialed l.r. "A.R.K." inscribed verso "Prayer Tree", A Raymond Katz." Sight size: 39-3/4"h x 30"w Overall: 40-3/4"h x 30-3/4"w This is done in an Abstract Expressionist style with bold enamel like paint and applied ceramic or glass iridescent mosaic tiles. Alexander Raymond Katz, Hungarian / American (1895 – 1974) Alexander Raymond Katz was born in Kassa, Hungary, and came to the United States in 1909. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. In the late 1920s, he worked as a director of the Poster Department at Paramount Studios. He was appointed the Director of Posters for the Chicago Civic Opera in 1930. A WPA muralist, illustrator and modernist painter especially known for paintings with Jewish themes and narrative American scene works. Many notable Jewish artists worked for the WPA amongst them Ben Shahn, William Gropper, Aaron Bohrod and many more. During the Great Depression, notable architect Frank Lloyd Wright urged Katz to become a muralist. In 1933, he was commissioned to paint a mural for the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago. In 1936, he painted the mural History of the Immigrant for the Madison, Ill., post office. Katz’s works were included in various exhibitions and now are part of several museum collections, including those of the Art Institute of Chicago; Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and the Jewish Museum, New York. His murals, bas-reliefs and stained glass designs adorn more than 200 Jewish synagogues in the United States. Katz and other Jewish artists in Chicago who expressed Jewish and Biblical themes were inspired by the artist Abel Pann (1883-1963). Pann, who is regarded as the leading painter of the Land of Israel, exhibited in the Art Institute of Chicago in 1920. Early in his career, Katz began to explore the artistic possibilities inherent in the characters of the Hebrew alphabet. He developed aesthetic and philosophical interpretations of each letter and became the leading innovator and pioneer in the field of Hebraic art. Katz applies this concept in the woodcut Moses and the Burning Bush. Hebrew letters appears in Moses’ head, his cane and inside the flame. The initial of Moses’ name crowns his head. The letter in the flame is the first letter of the name of God. A combination of images and Hebrew letters appeared commonly in illustrations of the scene Moses and the Burning Bush in the Haggadah, the book of Passover. The symbolism of the burning bush corresponds to the motifs of A Gift to Biro-Bidjan. Among the fourteen participating artists were notable Chicago modernists Todros Geller, Mitchell Siporin, A. Raymond Katz, David Bekker...
