About the Item
Russian-Jewish-American artist Nahum Tschacbasov (1899-1984) is known for his cubo-surrealistic works
which feature a strong psychological element. Some of his work bears a resemblance to work of another
Russian-American artist--David Burliuk.
Most art admirers are probably unaware of the Tschacbasov’s prominence in
the United States. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan (a territory of Russia back in 1899), Tschacbasov was an
important figure in the New York art world from the 1930s to the 1950s, displaying his intricate, symbolladen
works in the halls of art havens like the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan
Museum.
Tschacbasov was somewhat of a late starter, moving to Paris in 1932 to study under Adolph Gottlieb,
Marcel Gromaire and Fernand Leger. He had his first exhibition in Paris in 1934. He then returned to the
US where he joined Rothko and Gottlieb at the Gallery Seccession. He was one of the co-founders of The
Ten, a group of socially conscious abstract painters which included Rothko, Gottlieb, Joseph Solman and
Ilya Bolotowsky, among others.
In 1944, he began to work at Stanley Hayter's Atelier 17, a center for surrealistic ideas. Between 1936 and
1943, he had five one-man exhibitions at the ACA Galleries and participated in five group shows. He also
exhibited at the Whitney, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Knox Albright Museum, the Chicago
Institute of Fine Art and Corcoran, among others. His work can be found in the permanent collections of
the Met, the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum and the Jewish Museum.
Tschacbasov slipped off people’s radar in the 60s—we don’t know why—but has recently had several
retrospective exhibitions, including at the National Arts Club entitled: "Nahum Tscacbasov: A
Retrospective."

- Carmelo Niño, Lechera, 2014, Oil on canvas, 207 x 149 cm, 81.4 x 58.6 in.By Carmelo NiñoLocated in Miami, FLCarmelo Niño Lechera, 2014 Oil on canvas 207 x 149 cm 81.4 x 58.6 in. The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Carmelo Niño, a Venezuelan artist originally from Maracaibo, Zulia State, an oil-producing region of Venezuela, is today one of the most outstanding painters in the plastic arts landscape in the country. Many years have passed since his birth in 1951 to the present, when he inaugurates this August 2022, a major exhibition at the Ascaso Gallery in Miami, with paintings from different dates resulting from the permanent and daily work of reflection, physical and intellectual, that he has always pursued in his creative life. Without neglecting a single moment of day-to-day life to be in front of the medium-sized canvas on the easel or of larger canvas hanging on a wall, he works in his large studio in the area of El Junco, outside the capital city of Caracas, surrounded by lush green vegetation, with a wonderful climate of pleasant temperature and poetic mist that invites to the reverie and glorification of his life as a painter. From a very early age Niño and his family discovered his vocation for drawing, a discipline in which he showed a special disposition and talent. From this moment on he dedicates his life to art, to the practice of painting, starting from a fantastic and strange world of fantasy, close to surrealism, unfailingly influenced by the circus of fantasy owned by his mother and a musician father. These circumstances will shape the artist's life. His traces and influences from the beginning will be present in his creative work, especially through the memories of the infinite curiosity to look, touch and be enraptured by the strange furniture and objects from his mother's circus that he knew were deposited in a room of the house. This universe of fantasy will leave an indelible mark on his subconscious and will serve as the thematic and artistic support for all his work. In an interview conducted by the critic Roberto Montero Castro in 1977, Carmelo Niño states, "the symbols of my painting come from the everyday life". His life has been one of continuous work and effort. At the age of fifteen he enrolled in the School of Arts of Maracaibo, graduated three years later, 1966, and immediately, with a scholarship, he travelled to Spain, took a few courses at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, strengthened his preparation in art workshops and in frequent visits to the big museums of this European capital. With a sensitive gaze he penetrates the mysteries of masterpieces of the great artists who have made the universal history of art. His life as a painter has been intense, of intense study, preparation and work. With much composure and modesty he talks about his life and his artistic production, recognized not only in Venezuela, but also internationally. His participation in exhibitions began in 1969 and as early as 1970 he held his first individual exhibition at the Fine Arts Center of Maracaibo. From these dates onwards successes started to come, with the participation in collective and individual exhibitions, in Venezuela and abroad, as well as the awards from 1971, when he won the Scholarship Award at the First National Salon of Young Artists in Maracay, Aragua State; in 1972 he was awarded the Second Prize at the Regional Salon of Maracaibo. 1975 is the year of awards, he received the First Prize at the IV Salon of Young Artists in Caracas; the Aurelio Rodriguez Award at the IV Avellan Salon in Caracas and the First Prize at the Salon of Young Zulian Artists in Maracaibo; he also participated in the group exhibition of History of Painting in Venezuela, at Casa de Las Americas, Havana, Cuba; and in 1976 he was invited by Jose Gomez Sicre to take part in the exhibition of Venezuelan painting...Category
