About the Item

Genre: Other Subject: Landscape Medium: Other, Gouache Surface: Paper Dimensions w/Frame: 21" x 23" SELMA GUBIN Kiev, Ukraine - New York, USA, b. 1903, d. 1974 Selma Gubin was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and settled with her family in New York in 1908. Even though few women were successful in the city's contemporary art world, her father encouraged her pursuit of formal art training. After studying art at Hunter College, Gubin joined the Art Students League in 1924, where faculty members Raphael Soyer, Philip Evergood, and Chaim Gross influenced her still developing style. Although obliged to work at a variety of office jobs in order to support herself, Gubin remained an active member of the New York Artists Equity Association and the National Association of Women Artists and exhibited widely throughout her lifetime. Miss Gubin studied at the Art Students League, where she received a fellowship, and with John Sloan, Raphael Soyer and Boardman Robinson. Gubin has had collections in numerous prestigious institutions including the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, & the National Museum of Jerusalem, just to name a few.

Ace Bar, Gouache American Scene. Witold Gordon
By Witold Gordon
Located in Surfside, FL
Witold Gordon (1885 – 1968) The painter and muralist, Witold Gordon, was born in Warsaw, Poland. He moved to Paris as a young man and studied there at the Ecole de Beaux Arts before moving to the United States. He had a distinguished career including the production of two major murals at Radio City Music Hall in 1932. These were coordinated by the prominent American designer, Donald Deskey, and included Witold Gordon among the periodʼs foremost avant-garde artists along with Stuart Davis and William Zorach, among others. Gordon was later commissioned to conceive a 6000 square foot mural for a building at the New York Worldʼs Fair in 1939 and this amazing feat is captured in postcards from the fair as well as commemorative film footage and color photographs. His modernist aesthetic is evident in his illustrations for The Travels of Marco Polo and his fine poster for the 1932 Olympics...

TWA Study, Framed
By Danny Heller
Located in Fairfield, CT
Represented by George Billis Gallery, NY & LA -- My latest series opening at the George Billis Gallery, titled “Modern Society,” continues my exploration into midcentury architecture and design found in New York City, but focuses on the cultural centers and glamorous institutions that signaled its strength – and enchantment – in the 1950s and 60s. Covering such bewitching landmarks as Lincoln Center, the Guggenheim, and 5th Avenue stalwart Bergdorf Goodman, this series delves into how high design from this groundbreaking Modern period shaped metropolitan society and reinforced New York as a cultural capital. When viewed individually, each painting showcases an aspect of booming avant garde design, be it the Metropolitan Opera’s Sputnik Chandeliers, the high fashion displayed...
