Gustave Kaitz Portrait Prints
American, 1913-1992
Gustave Kaitz (1913 - 1992) The singular art of Gustave Kaitz may be described as a highly stylized wellspring of illusion, imagery, and symbolism. Born in Brooklyn in 1913, the son of Eastern European Jewish immigrants, Gustave Kaitz started painting professionally as a young man selling his Art Deco originals to Gimbel’s and Fortunoff department stores, and Greenwich Village galleries.
Gustave studied painting at the School of Art at Cooper Union and philosophy at Brooklyn College. By the age of twenty-two, the young artist was the proprietor of his studio in Manhattan. Through the years both disciplines – art and philosophy – guided his work and his heart.
Kaitz developed a unique style of painting, his art taking on untried visions through his conceptual Deco works of the times, employing mixed media of watercolors, pastels, and pencil, painted on board.
Kaitz’s approach to his art is of awe and imagination, of philosophy and self-realization. The self-styled painter began establishing his reputation in the 1930s, during the latter part of the Art Deco period.
Kaitz’s mythologies are peopled by celestial beings – women who are not really women at all; they are goddesses, Goddess of Vengeance (1930) or mythical subjects like Leda and the Swan (1935), and his signature work The Gatsby Girl (1933), illusions beyond the confines of time. They are intellectual concepts, more than tangible creatures of beauty.
Regarded as the last American Art Deco artist of the twentieth century, Gustave Kaitz died in 1992, leaving a legacy of extraordinary magnitude of original paintings and sketches spanning nearly seven decades. The Kaitz collection expounds an era of Art Deco in its supreme form.(Biography provided by BLUE IRIS / IRIS BLEU)
