A modernist landscape painting by American WPA artist Earle N. Sherm

Signed, verso, 'Boris Deutsch' (American, 1892-1978) an painted circa 1965. A substantial, tonalist oil portrait of a young blonde woman in a red dress contrasted against a taupe background. Born Lithuania, Deutsch began drawing at the age of five and remained a self-taught artist except for brief periods of study at the Bloom Academy of Art in Riga and at the Kunstgewerbe Schule in Berlin. He immigrated to Seattle, WA in 1916 and, in 1919, settled in Los Angeles. He was soon supporting himself with commercial art and also became a successful movie set designer in Hollywood. During the late 1930s, Deutsch undertook numerous murals for the WPA including for the Hot Springs (NM) Post Office, the Reedley (CA) Post Office, and 11 murals for the Los Angeles Terminal Annex Post Office. A committed modernist, he specialized in genre and figural works and, during the last ten years of his life, experimented with a variety of graphic styles including monotypes. Over the course of a long career, Boris Deutsch exhibited widely and with success including at LACMA, 1926, 1929, 1941; USC, 1926; Calif.

Painting measures 28 X 36 inches. There is a sulpture quality to the suitcase, it has texture to the piece. It subtly recalls the european Holocaust, travel and displacement. Provenance: Ginsburg collection; purchased from Galerie Art Temoin, Paris, France. Alain Kleinmann was born in Paris, France 1953. Known for his Paintings, sculptures and etchings. His very particular style uses collage, incrustations and cast bas relief. His mastery of glazing and varnishing techniques dominated by sepia colours have guaranteed him resounding success. Alain Kleinmann has already proven himself one of the most interesting European artists of his generation. He has carefully forged his own language of signs, a unique visual vocabulary in which Rembrandt and the artists of the European past fuse with the innovations of the post-war masters such as Francis Bacon, Larry Rivers and Robert Rauschenberg. His works have been exhibited at numerous international galleries and museums. He has received almost a dozen medals and is a member of eight different salons.In recent years, Kleinmann has assimilated the sepia-based tones of Rembrandt's paintings – archetypes within the European tradition of the quest for a soul in a surface of paint – to his own complex operations, creating a series of paintings he calls "Fragments of Memory." Whereas in his photo-realist close-ups all was revealed – his works treat questions of time and memory, of lives unknown in their intensity but alluded to by traces, gestures and fragments of images or words, all perceived like outdated documents through the patina of age. Kleinmann transcends the limits of static imagery in a picture frame by digging within the life of the materials at hand – notably paper, the prime purveyor of identity in the Information Age. Paper, after all, takes on a life of its own as it goes through time: the process of its deterioration. It starts out neutral and pristine and gains character as it vanishes. His background in semiotics stands Kleinmann in good stead as he manipulates a variety of visual languages: photos, drawings, rubber stamps, tickets, numbers, handwritten phrases or letters, pages from prayerbooks, personal correspondence and official documents. His textures come from materials that have lived and suffered, that have already received the imprint of human intervention: cardboard with its facing torn off, revealing its inner ribs and backing; paper that has been rumpled and then flattened again; paper with its skin scraped raw or mechanically imprinted with a meaningless pattern; paper that has buckled or wrinkled in the process of being adhered to another surface; and finally, photographs, hidden behind gauze or paraffin, recessed, partly revealed; they recede in time as they are obscured from view, as if their precision had been swallowed in the half-life of generational memory. All of these elements, so diverse and individualized, are harmonized in the final composition by the artist's hand. For him, there is no spirituality without specific individuals who cultivate their inner life. As he says, "The dimension of things is right here. For me, true spirituality comes in the act of embracing true materiality, and not by averting one's gaze." Museum of Contemporary art, Santiago de Chile, Chile Mid century modern Jewish art...

Signed, Dated, Titled Verso BIO: Daniel Jefferson AKA "Bipolar Holiday" is a self-taught street artist. A native of St. Louis, he grew up in North St. Louis County in the cities of Normandy and Hazelwood. By the age of 3, he was drawing and painting alongside his father and together they shared studios and collaborations into his mid-20s. His father grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi and his mother in St. Louis. Expounding on his family history, Holiday speaks of his Quaker and Native American ancestry - along with his father, who is black, and his mother who is white - as forming his multiracial identity and upbringing. He expresses “not always fitting in,” - being neither “this nor that” - and residing on the margins between the social constructs of race. This emotional state is reflected in his artistic output. He cautions us to see that, while the subject matter of his work is not always a direct depiction of his experience of race, his existence as a person of color propels him and bears directly on his artistic focus and choice of materials, along with the application and gesture in each work. Anger and sadness are part of it – also love, joy, pride and humility. The artist often signs his work with a mark inspired by the ancient Egyptian Eye of Horas – a symbol of power, protection, and health. Throughout his career, Bipolar Holiday has been both a solo practitioner and a collaborator. Tagging as King Dee and later Melo, he worked variously in the St. Louis area from the mid- 1990s to early 2000s. In the 1990s, he painted with the then St. Louis-based graffiti artist Nick Miller and his crew. Choice spots ranged from free standing concrete walls on abandoned property to temporary fencing along construction sites. The artist's compositions contained expressive line and figural elements – human faces, eyes – and the ethereal and allegorical – angel, devil motifs, etc. Later, he moved his artistic focus to a more studio-based form starting in the early 2000s. Holiday had his first show alongside his father’s work at Urbis-Orbis Gallery in downtown St. Louis in 2003. Coming full circle, he occasionally works in a few items of collage or spontaneous marks made by his daughter during her early childhood. Bipolar Holiday has exhibited his work both locally and globally including St. Louis, New York, Grand Rapids and Antwerp. In 2019, he was featured in a four-page spread of JMG Lifestyle Magazine and a large-scale work whet to the Isabis Art Expo in 2019. St. Louis Magazine listed “Bipolar Holiday: Kyoto Girls” when the Walker-Cunningham Fine Art pop-up exhibit was named to the A-List in July 2020. Holiday's work can be found in numerous private and public collections. He lives in St. Louis City...

“Icarus Suspended” is an extraordinary painting of Ayrton's obsession with flight, myths, mirrors and mazes. This complex piece shows a figure in flight, frozen in action, either swooping down or, perhaps, falling to earth. Named after the Greek mythological figure, Icarus, who along with his father attempted to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Flying too close to the sun the wax melted and both fell to earth. The positioning of Ayrton's figure is reminiscent of "The Fall of Icarus" by Jacob Peter Gowy, Museo Nacional del Prado. This is part of a series of artworks on Icarus some sculptural and some three-dimensional paintings on canvas. Verso contains gallery label Matthiesen Gallery, 142 Bond St., London, England, with a signature and text in upper right corner: "To Morton Schotnick.

Abram Abraham Krol was born January 22, 1919, in Pabianice (Lodz), Poland. Abram Krol went to France in 1938 to study civil engineering at the University of Caen. In 1939 at the beginning of World War II he joined the Foreign Legion. After he was demobilized, he became a mechanic in a garage in Avignon. Although Jewish, he survived the war with a false identity. In 1943, Krol started studying to be an artist, taking courses in sculpture at the city’s School of Fine Art. He also began studying painting and self-described himself as a “Sunday painter.” Krol moved to Paris in 1944. The first exhibition of his work was in 1946 in the Katia Granoff Gallery in Paris. After the war, Krol took up engraving, studying that art form with an engraver he met in Paris. Krol reflected his Hasidic childhood often using Biblical themes in his art works. He said, During all my years of childhood I had read the Bible endlessly. I came back to the Bible because I was on solid ground there. It was part of the assertion of my own truth after a time of complacency. It seemed to me that in painting or engraving there were so many reefs to avoid, so many possibilities of setback, that I had to have all the odds in my favor do what I could—say what I had to say. Krol illustrated over 20 literary works from the late 1940s through the 1960s. He also engraved medals for the Paris mint and painted murals for schools in France. He designed tapestries and painted approximately 200 enamels. Museums and libraries which own Krol’s art works include the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris; the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; the British Museum; Houghton Library, Harvard; Bodleian Library, Oxford, and the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Krol has had numerous one-man shows throughout Europe, Brazil, and in California. In 1960, Krol was invited to the Venice Biennale. He was awarded the Critics Prize in 1958. He also won the Feneon Prize among other honors. Krol died on October 9, 2001. The School of Paris, Ecole de Paris, was not a single art movement or institution, but refers to the importance of Paris as a center of Western art in the early decades of the 20th century. Between 1900 and 1940 the city drew artists from all over the world and became a centre for artistic activity. School of Paris was used to describe this loose community, particularly of non-French artists, centered in the cafes, salons and shared workspaces and galleries of Montparnasse. Before World War I, a group of expatriates in Paris created art in the styles of Post-Impressionism, Cubism and Fauvism. The group included artists like Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Amedeo Modigliani and Piet Mondrian. Associated French artists included Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse, Jean Metzinger and Albert Gleizes. The term "School of Paris" was used in 1925 by André Warnod to refer to the many foreign-born artists who had migrated to Paris. The term soon gained currency, often as a derogatory label by critics who saw the foreign artists—many of whom were Jewish—as a threat to the purity of French art. Art critic Louis Vauxcelles, noted for coining the terms "Fauvism" and "Cubism", Waldemar George, himself a French Jew, in 1931 lamented that the School of Paris name "allows any artist to pretend he is French. it refers to French tradition but instead annihilates it. The artists working in Paris between World War I and World War II experimented with various styles including Cubism, Orphism, Surrealism and Dada. Foreign and French artists working in Paris included Jean Arp, Joan Miro, Constantin Brancusi, Raoul Dufy, Tsuguharu Foujita, artists from Belarus like Michel Kikoine, Pinchus Kremegne, and Jacques Lipchitz, the Polish artist Marek Szwarc and others such as Russian-born prince Alexis Arapoff. A significant subset, the Jewish artists, came to be known as the Jewish School of Paris or the School of Montparnasse. The core members were almost all Jews, and the resentment expressed toward them by French critics in the 1930s was unquestionably fueled by anti-Semitism. Jewish members of the group included Emmanuel Mané-Katz, Chaim Soutine, Adolphe Féder...
