William Zorach
William Zorach Oil on Canvas Painting Titled "Kiddie Kar", Dated 1920

1920

About the Item

Kiddie Kar exemplifies the integration of the primitive aesthetic and the depiction of family in William’s work. The primitive aspect of this particular painting is apparent in its deep, warm palette, its simplified and abstracted depiction of nature, and the slight flattening and upturning of the picture plane. The child featured in this painting is postured in a stiff, disjointed way that reflects the awkward mobility of a child. Her skin, clothes, hair and posture are highly stylized, and composed from a brushy and impastoed, application of color. Her almond shaped eyes are a deep black, recalling the simplified features of early Greek and African sculpture. This painting was preceded and succeeded by several terra cotta and wood-carved sculptures, produced between 1918 and 1923, of William’s daughter on the Kiddie Kar.
