Ibram Lassaw
Ibram Lassaw, (Abstraction)

1937

About the Item

This print was made for the American Abstract Artists Portfolio, 1937. All the images were lithographs made on zinc plates. Usually they were signed in the image -- on the plate, as this one is. As a group they explored abstraction in the 1930s, while maintaining their individual styles. The plan was to make an edition of 500 portfolios although it seems highly unlikely that this was accomplished. Ibram Lassaw (1913-2003) was primarily known for his sculpture. Born in Egypt to a Russian family, he grew up in Brooklyn. He was based in New York but spent summers in eastern Long Island with other members of the Abstract Expressionist group. He moved there permanently in 1963. He was a founding member and president of the AAA group. The dimensions, 9 1/4 x 12 inches, are for the sheet. It is signed in the plate.
