About the Item
A dramatic painting of a seaside town done in bright colors. The abstract American scene style captures the moody sky, and the reflection of water captures the viewer's attention.
Born in Kassa, Hungary, Zoltan Sepeshy later became a resident artist of Birmingham, Michigan. He studied at the Royal Academy of Art in Budapest as well as in Vienna and Paris. He was appointed as an art instructor at the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts and later at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
His first solo exhibition took place in New York, at Newhouse Galleries, in 1932. Sepeshy showed 20 paintings and eight graphics, including depictions of urban America, genre, and European subjects, all done in a modernist manner seemingly derived from Cézanne and the Cubists.
He was a major painter of the American Scene and depicted the small towns and harbors around Lake Michigan. A further gauge of his importance is that during his lifetime, museums ranging from national institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago to university galleries such as the Sheldon Art Museum at the University of Nebraska acquired his work for their permanent collections.
