About the Item
“Woman on Arm of Sofa” is an extraordinary lithograph by Arnold Singer. You could say it is representative of his interests in several art styles that are combined in this lithograph with utmost success. The rendition of the figure and the sofa into black graphic lines is certainly an abstraction while the overall composition of a woman seated on a sofa is a typically classical pose.
Singer has the unique distinction of holding high regard not only for abstraction, but formal classicism, two visually opposite styles. He was very much influenced by abstraction and what at the time was referred to as “non-objective” abstraction, Singer focused a great deal on the study of the human figure and the urban environment – a source of imagery seemingly at odds with the most rigorous forms of abstraction and likewise the most rigorous forms of Classicism. As a result, he forged an approach to image making that combined the formal purity of abstraction and the intense observation of nature found in Classicism.
Arnold Singer was a native of New Yorker where he was born and raised. He attended the Art Students League studying under artist/teachers Bridgman, Nicolaides, and Abels. During World War II, Singer served as a camouflager for the Corps of Engineers returning to the Art Students League after the war to work under the guidance of Cameron Booth, Byron Browne, and most importantly, Will Barnet, who remained a long-time friend and mentor and Joseph Pennell, who founded their printmaking department – the first in the country.
While at the Art Students League, he gravitated to a group of young artists interested not only in the European modernist tradition of Picasso, Mondrian, Cezanne and Matisse, but also Gothic and Romanesque painting, and 18th and 19th century classicism. His interests extended to works produced by indigenous peoples of Africa and the Northwest Coast of the North American Continent. He eventually taught printmaking at the League as well as at Pratt Graphic Arts Center, where he became a master printer. He introduced the medium to many leading American artists and printed editions for Rufino Tamayo, Stuart Davis, Larry Rivers, Ellsworth Kelly, Adolf Gottlieb and Barnett Newman.
In 1966 moved to Ithaca to teach lithography, painting and drawing for more than 20 years in the Department of Fine Arts at Cornell. He, in fact, inaugurated the program in lithography at Cornell. He eventually became known as the ultimate American authority on lithography.
Singer had solo exhibitions at the Arkansas Art Center in Little Rock; the Pratt Graphic Arts Center; The Gallery in Morgantown, West Virginia; and at Wells College in Aurora, New York. He participated in numerous exhibitions at the Chicago Art Institute, the Philadelphia Print Club, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Kornblee Gallery in New York City. Internationally he showed at the Studenterforenigen in Denmark and the Galeria Wstolzesna in Warsaw. He has been collected by many private and corporate patrons in addition to the Brooklyn Museum, the Pasadena Art Museum, and the Print Club in Philadelphia.

"Holiday", Abstract Drypoint Etching and Aquatint, Numbered and Signed
By Richard Jacobs
Located in Detroit, MI
"Holiday" is a work that displays Richard Jacobs early Balinese influence. This abstract work made with drypoint etching manifests a layer of depth and contrast that is achieved through an Indonesian technique of drawing the lines of the resist or printing it with a copper stamp that allows an artisan to selectively color the work through the soaking process. "Holiday" is exemplary of this earlier aquatint process before Jacobs would go on to apply a diversity of colors to his work. The print is 39 x 29 inches and is signed and numbered from an edition of 30 by the artist. Numbered edition may not necessarily be number 17 as there are multiple prints in the possession of Collected Detroit...
