About the Item

Paul Resika was born in New York City in 1928. He began taking painting lessons at age nine, greatly encouraged by his Russian émigré mother. At twelve years old, he began studying with Sol Wilson. In his teenage years, he studied in Provincetown, Massachusetts, with Hans Hofmann, becoming Hofmann’s monitor: a significant honor for a young artist. He had his first exhibition at the George Dix Gallery in New York City at nineteen years old. He later traveled and studied in Venice, Italy, and elsewhere in Europe. Resika’s outstanding work in oils earned him a reputation for his landscape and figurative paintings and is celebrated for his bold mastery of color. This later oil on canvas piece is nearly startling for its bold color and is among the finest examples of Resika’s later transition to more abstract figurative work.

    By Wilson Henry Irvine
    Located in Washington, DC
    Following two decades of successful impressionistic landscape painting, Wilson Henry Irvine became known for a new experimental style in the 1930s. In 1930, Irvine began making prismatic paintings—landscapes and still-lifes rendered as though seen through a glass prism. The effect accentuated the play of light on the edges of objects. Irvine remained committed to this style of prismatic painting throughout the 1930s, winning the best-picture award in 1934 for a picture of a life-sized nude at the annual exhibition of the Lyme Art...
