About the Item
Initialed lower right: “RE”. Titled and signed verso”Black Fields XI/ Ruth Eckstein”.
Ruth Eckstein has received national and international recognition as an abstract modernist painter and master printmaker. Born in Nuremberg, Germany in 1916, Eckstein worked in her father’s fabric store as a teenager, developing an early interest in art. In 1933, Eckstein’s future husband, George, was arrested by Nazi officers for left-leaning political activities. After several months in jail, he fled to Switzerland and then to Paris, where Ruth joined him. In 1939, fearing a Nazi invasion, George and Ruth left Paris for New York City.
In New York, Eckstein studied with a number of highly influential figures at a variety of art institutions. She studied painting at the Museum of Modern Art and The New School for Social Research with Stuart Davis, and at the Long Island North Shore Community Art Center with Harry Sternberg. She continued her studies at the Art Students League in New York, where she studied under Julian Levi and Vaclav Vytlacil and immersed herself in printmaking techniques, painting, and drawing. Eckstein later found herself drawn to the woodcut technique of printmaker Seong Moy, and studied with him at the Pratt Graphic Art Center. Eckstein's work became characterized by a majestic tranquility achieved through pared down compositions and subtle modulations of color and shape. In many works, landscape is suggested by simple abstractions of form and gentle color harmonies; in others, tilted geometric designs with clear bold colors provoke a tension between balance and motion.
