About the Item
Oil on masonite.
Russian-Jewish-American artist Nahum Tschacbasov (1899-1984) is known for his intriquing cubo-surrealistic-symbolist works which feature a strong psychological element.
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 at 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."

- La Mujer Isla The Island Woman Mexican Surrealist PaintingBy Enrique ChavarríaLocated in Delray Beach, FLThe Island Woman (La Mujer Isla) Artist signed and titled. Enrique Chavarría (1927-1998) was a Mexican painter and neo-surrealist, whose fantastic imagery carries forward the work of the Mexican Surrealists. He created hundreds of easel-sized oil paintings on masonite and numerous smaller works. For four decades his principal patron was Bryna Prensky, an American gallery owner from Florida who moved to Mexico City in 1954. She bought most of Chavarría’s known works for her gallery and her own collection. Prensky said she often found Chavarría in his pajamas at mid-day. He read widely and painted dreamlike images that reflect his wide-ranging scholarly interests. Much of his work is thought to have been inspired by poetry, especially the writings of André Breton, Paul Éluard, Arthur Rimbaud, and Paul Valéry; by the classic surrealism of Salvador Dalí; and by the paintings of Mexican neo-surrealist artists Remedios Varo...Category
