Max Schnitzler
#2 (5) Abstract Oil Painting by Max Schnitzler

Circa 1955

About the Item

This painting measures 55 ¾" x 35 ½" and framed 57" x 37" x 1". It is hand-signed "Schnitzler" on the lower right. About this artist: Max Schnitzler (1903-1999) emigrated with his family to America just after WWI. After he studied in Paris in the late 20’s with Leger, Lhote, and Ozenfant, Schnitzler began his long career as what can best be described as an “under the radar artist’s artist” in NYC. He exhibited extensively, and was part of a circle of artists which included Stuart Davis, Hans Hoffman, Bill and Elaine de Kooning, and Lee Krasner. He painted WPA works, and became one of the first Abstract Expressionist painters. His exceptional works, like his career, are head-scratchingly under the radar. Although museums including MOMA, the Whitney, the Albright-Knox, San Francisco MFA, Cincinnati Art Museum, Denver Art Museum, Seattle Art Museum exhibited his works, Max Schnitzler passed away in 1999 never having gained the reputation his art deserved.
