About the Item

Robert Rahway Zakanitch (American b. 1935), Les Delices de Fragonard 1988 Hand signed and numbered from edition of 45 Dimensions: 36.5 X 48 This vibrant work features floral patterns, actually strawberries or raspberries, inspired by the Rococo style, paying homage to Jean-Honore Fragonard's themes. Zakanitch, a notable artist of the Pattern and Decoration movement, is known for blending fine art with decorative designs. The piece is signed and numbered 7/45, with an embossed "ARTIS MAGNUS" stamp, indicating it is part of a limited edition. Robert Rahway Zakanitch (born 1935) is an American painter and was one of the founders of the Pattern and Decoration movement. His work is held in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. Robert Zakanitch was born in 1935 in Elizabeth, New Jersey and grew up in Rahway. He lived and worked in New York City. At the time of his June 3 through September 17, 2017 exhibition in the Hudson River Museum, he had recently moved his residence and studio to Yonkers, New York In the late 1960s he began experimenting with Color Field painting but would go on to be one of the founders of the Pattern and Decoration movement in the mid 1970s. While working in the Color Field he was strict to adhering to an abstract style inspired by Minimalism until he learned about decorative imagery. He kept the same color schemes and structures, but incorporated floral motif and a more painterly style. He was one of the original painters of the Pattern and Decoration movements of the 1970s. (along with Cynthia Carlson, Brad Davis, Mary Grigoriadis, Joyce Kozloff, Robert Kushner, Kim MacConnel, Sonya Rapoport, Miriam Schapiro and Valerie Jaudon) The group began exhibiting together in 1976 in "Ten Approaches to the Decorative" at the Alessandra Gallery in New York, followed by "Pattern Painting" in 1977 at PS1 in Long Island City, Queens. Subsequently, over fifty group exhibitions featuring the founding artists were held in museums and galleries in Europe and the U.S. including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Art Institute of Chicago, Palais des Beaux Arts, Brussels, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark, the Neue Galerie, in Aachen, Germany, the Pori Art Museum, the Mayor Gallery in London, Modern Art Oxford, and the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, New York. In 2012 the "Conceptual Abstraction" exhibition of 1991 at the Sidney Janis Gallery, a survey of twenty contemporary abstract painters, organized by Carroll Janis and Jaudon, was revisited at the Hunter College Galleries in New York City and curated by Joachim Pissarro and Pepe Karmel. Among the participants were Ross Bleckner, Peter Halley, Sherrie Levine, Philip Taaffe and Peter Schuyff.
