About the Item

Alexandra Rozneman's "Helping Mark Rothko to Move his Furniture" is a playful 40 x 50 x 1 inch oil painting on canvas in deep blues, pinks and purples. It consists of a beautiful seascape, a mountain of abstracted furniture on the left, a Mark Rothko-looking piece of art connected to it by a rope on the opposite side and a funny-looking string machine struggling to find a balance between humor, beauty and art history. The painting is signed on the front and the reverse. Alexandra Rozenman immigrated to America from the Soviet Union in 1989. Russian, European and American myths of national destiny and private identity take on a utopian dimension as she absorbs and expresses the psychology of otherness as fundamental aspects of her own identity. She wants her art to be like a well-worn military wool blanket that gives you warmth, love, and history. The artist states, "Whatever degree of abstraction defines my thinking and visual self-identification it has all to do with the search for my own image in a great existential sea of sweeping changes." Rozenman is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
