About the Item
Eli Jacobi: 1898-1984. Very important artist who was born in Kharkov Ukraine. His art studies began at the Bezalel Art Institute in Palestine. He was imprisoned and tortured by the Turks and finally was able to emigrate to the U.S. in 1917. He studied at Art Students League, National Academy of Design and the Grand Central School of Art. He did a large number of Prints for the WPA during the Great Depression. I believe this extremely rare colored woodcut was done in 1940. I could not find an example that has ever been offered at auction. In fact the only other example I could find is in the permanent collection of the Met. Edition was only 33. The measurement of sheet is listed on Met website as 18 1/4 inches wide by 14 high. the image or block is 14 1/2 inches wide by 10 3/4 high. The frame measures 24 by 20. His prints have been exhibited or are held in the permanent collections of MOMA, The Met and the Art Institute of Chicago. Sorry about flash but glass is very reflective. I believe this could be the Bronx Zoo, but is probably a self reflective piece based on his time as a prisoner in Palestine.

- 'The Rabbit' original woodcut engraving by Clarice George LoganBy Clarice George LoganLocated in Milwaukee, WIIn 'The Rabbit,' Wisconsin artist Clarice George Logan presents the viewer with a multi-figural scene: under a wood-frame structure, four children crouch on the ground, gathered around a young woman who presents a rabbit. Under normal circumstances, such an image of children with a bunny would recall childhood storybooks. In this case, however, the image is more ambiguous and suggests the unfortunate economic circumstances many children suffered during the interwar years. Nonetheless, the group could also be interpreted as a nativity play, with the rabbit taking the place of the Christ child, shining light on the children like in a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Correggio. The careful line-work of the woodblock engraving adds a sense of expressionism to the scene, leaving the figures looking distraught and dirty, though the image nonetheless falls into the Social Realist category that dominated American artists during the Great Depression. This print was published in 1936 as part of the Wisconsin Artists' Calendar for the year 1937, which included 52 original, hand-made prints - one for each week of the year. Clarice George Logan was born in Mayville, New York in 1909 but moved to Wisconsin in 1921. She attended the Milwaukee State Teachers College from 1927 to 1931 where she studied with Robert von...Category
