About the Item

Jack Hofflander, American (1920 - 2003) - Preparing for Dinner, Year: circa 1975, Medium: Acrylic on Board, Size: 12 in. x 5.5 in. (30.48 cm x 13.97 cm), Frame Size: 18.5 x 12 inches, Description: In this playful depiction of a four-story home, Jack Hofflander relies on the use of cutaways to show the interior rooms on each floor of the house. In the kitchen on the first floor, a chef and servant prepare the couple's dinner while the husband puts slacks on upstairs on the fourth floor and the wife takes a bath on the third floor. This playful portrayal of a couple with housekeeping staff is humorous and sweet.

Scene Fourteen: Kitchen, bright colors, domestic, Latin objects
By Barbara Rachko
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Price and size includes frames (maple wood with white mats). Artwork 58" x 38" Her pastel-on-sandpaper series, "Domestic Threats" and "Black Paintings", both use cultural objects as surrogates for human beings acting in mysterious, highly charged narratives.[9][10] Rachko also has created a series of photographs entitled "Gods and Monsters".[11] In these chromogenic prints, she is "painting with a camera," creating variations that free the camera from being a mechanical recording device of what lies before it. She prints all of these images by hand. The earlier "Domestic Threats" pastel-on-sandpaper paintings used her West Village apartment or her 1932 Sears house in Virginia as a backdrop. The "Black Paintings" series grew directly from "Domestic Threats". In the "Black Paintings," the figures (actors) take center stage. All background details, furniture, rugs, etc. have been eliminated and replaced by intense dark black pastel. Each painting takes months to complete as she slowly builds up as many as 30 layers of soft pastel. Her long-standing fascination with traditional masks progressed in the spring of 2017 when she visited the National Museum of Ethnography and Folklore in La Paz, Bolivia where one exhibition included more than fifty festival masks. The resulting series is entitled “Bolivianos”.[12] She has also written an e-book, From Pilot to Painter[13] and writes a regular blog, Barbara Rachko...
