Paul Resika
Geraniums

1985

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, which is on blazing, vivid display in this consummate oil on canvas floral.
