About the Item

Signed Lower Right Titled Lower Left Josef Zenk (1904-2000) Josef Zenk was born in New York City in 1904. After graduating from high school he studied for three years at the National Academy of Design, followed by further studies at the Art Students League in New York. In 1926, Zenk moved to Utica, New York, where he began to produce landscape, figurative, and still life paintings. He was part of a small community of artists who in 1927-28 organized exhibitions with many of the leading American painters including Hopper, Sheeler and Fiene. In 1930 he was granted a full scholarship to study at the Munson Williams Proctor Institute where he later became an Instructor until World War II. While there, an exhibition of his work produced the greatest attendance of any show at the institution of that year. In 1942 "Zuni" by Zenk became the first work purchased by the Munson Williams Proctor Institute for its Central New York Artists Collection. After service in the Armed Forces from 1942-1945, Zenk left Utica and moved his studio to Palisades Park, New Jersey. Under the G.I. Bill he began to study at the New School in New York City. Along with Louis Schanker, a prominent woodcut artist and teacher at the New School, Zenk and a small group of printmakers formed Studio 74 for the purpose of exhibiting their color wood block prints. The group received immediate critical attention. The New York Times described the work of Josef Zenk as "particularly admirable". One of his prints "The Kiss" was chosen in 1949 as one of the best prints of the year and was exhibited in the National Exhibition of Prints held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Zenk moved to Bucks County, Pennsylvania in the late 1940's and lived in Upper Black Eddy, a town along the Delaware River, ten miles north of New Hope. He maintained a studio in Palisades Park for while after the move, before eventually working fulltime from his studio in Pennsylvania. Zenk remained active painting and making woodblock prints, while also teaching art classes. He resided in Bucks County until the end of his life at the age of ninety six. Like several other important Pennsylvania and New Jersey artists, the work of Josef Zenk was only recently rediscovered and brought to light. For the remaining thirty five years of his life, he chose a somewhat reclusive lifestyle, away from the frenetic art scene. Josef Zenk's works have been shown in over twenty seven museums including the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Newark Museum, the Seattle Museum of Art, and the National Academy of Design. Through the many exhibitions during his career, he has progressed from a stylized realism in landscape and figure painting to a powerful modernist and abstract style with a strong sense of personal expression.

Two abstracted human-like dark grey shapes are mirror images of each other, surrounded in a multicolored background. The background has a textured look, with blended variations in shades of yellow, green, teal, and magenta. Signed and dated "Anouk Johanna '93" in the lower right corner.

Frame size: 17.5"H x 15.75"W Image size: 9.25"H x 7.75"W Anouk Johanna (Dutch, b. 1946) grew up in Amsterdam Holland and already knew as a young child she was going to be an artist. In Amsterdam she was exposed to world class art and early on she showed signs of a multitude of talents in visual as well as performing arts. Her parents fully supported and encouraged her. She studied drama as well as costume and textile design and was part of a traveling theater group before she started studying sculpture at the prestigious Rietveld Akademie. In 1969 she was offered an opportunity to travel to the USA to study sculpture at the Brooklyn Museum Art School in Brooklyn, New York. There she met and married an American sculptor. They traveled and lived all over the US and in Holland and had two daughters. In Amsterdam they bought an old sailboat where they lived a romantic life as true bohemian artists and made art even when the children were very small. In 1971 they moved back to New York City and Johanna created large fiber art wall hangings for several years. In 1975 her husband and she, now living in L.A., learned to be silversmiths and started selling their jewelry at Arts and Crafts Fairs. This was a more lucrative way to raise a family than as sculptors. It was at the Californian Art Fairs that they were first introduced to the art of "scrimshaw" (engraving and inking of images on ivory or bone) and began to create their own scrimshaw pieces happy to be able to combine sculpture and drawing skills. In 1980, after a divorce, Johanna settled with her daughters in Santa Cruz, CA where she started taking classes at Cabrillo College and studied painting, drawing, jewelry, printmaking and art history while continuing to sell her scrimshaw jewelry...
