About the Item
Erik Scholz was a Hungarian artist who trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest. He was awarded the prestigious Munkácsy Award in 1950, and received stipends to work and study in Paris later in that decade.
Between the 1950s and 80s, his work was shown at the Salon d'Automne, in group exhibitions at the Hall of Art and the Museum Ernst in Budapest, at Art Basel in Switzerland, at the Kunsthalle Tübingen in Germany, and at the Academy of Fine Art in Vienna, Austria.
Scholz withdrew in 1987 to the village of Zsennye. He retreated entirely from the art market, as he entered a new creative period which was both personal and singular. Combining wood ash from his stove, and organic materials such as twigs and branches with his paint, he created structures that are near-animate, are both natural and creative. The layered surface attracts, reflects and diffuses light and interacts with the viewer. Our "Head" is an excellent example of this.
Oil, wood ash and mixed media applied in thick and rich impasto, the painting on panel measures 48 x 37 cm. It is signed, dated (19)93, situated Zsennye and titled "Fej II" (Head IIII) on the verso.

Provenance
Compass Rose, Chicago
Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings.
From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League.
Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...
