Robert Zakanitch Art

American, b. 1935
Robert Zakanitch has been exhibiting in New York since 1965. He is one of the founders of the pattern and decorative movement. He has had group exhibitions at the Whitney Annual, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art. His work can be found in permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, the Albright Knox Museum, Brooklyn Museum and the Tate Gallery, London. He has had one-man shows in Paris, Basel, Zürich, Berlin, and Koln and received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1995. Most contemporary art history books include Robert Zakanitch. In 2003, as with his important paintings of pattern and decoration, he exhibited his "Aggressive Goodness" acrylic and gouache paintings a series of dog paintings which show that art can lift the human spirit. In his own words his dog paintings are “to remind us of our compassion and evoke nurturing, caring, sentimentality, romance, kindness, etiquette (that’s right, etiquette), sweetness, respect, beauty and the sense of well being”.

Till the Clouds Roll By 1945 Frank Sinatra Mid Century Modern Hollywood Film WPA

By Richard Whorf

Located in New York, NY

Till the Clouds Roll By 1945 Frank Sinatra Mid Century Modern Hollywood Film WPA TILL THE COULDS ROLL BY (Film Set), oil on canvas, 20 x 24 inches signed “Richard Whorf” lower right and signed and dated on the verso “R. Whorf/ Dec. 21, 1945. Frame by Hendenryk. ABOUT THE PAINTING This painting is from the collection of Barbara and Frank Sinatra, dated December 21, 1945 (just nine days after Frank Sinatra’s 30th birthday), and depicts the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Culver City backlot during the filming of Till the Clouds Roll By, the direction of the film having been taking over by Richard Whorf in December 1945. It is not presently clear if Whorf gave the Sinatras this painting as a gift, as the presence of the Dalzell Hatfield Galleries label on the verso indicates the painting may have been sourced there. Frank and Nancy Sinatra acquired a number of works from Dalzell Hatfield Galleries during the 1940’s, or perhaps they framed it for the couple. Sinatra performed “Old Man River’ in the film. Sinatra and June Allyson are depicted in the center of the painting. PROVENANCE From the Estate of Mrs. Nancy Sinatra; Dalzell Hatfield Galleries, Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles. An image of the Dalzell Hatfield label and the back of the original frame (which we replaced with a stunning Heydenrk frame) are attached. Nancy Sinatra was Fran's first wife. Nancy Rose Barbato was 17 years old when she met Frank Sinatra, an 18-year-old singer from Hoboken, on the Jersey Shore in the summer of 1934. They married in 1939 at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Jersey City where Frank gave Nancy a recording of a song dedicated to her titled "Our Love" as a wedding present. The young newlyweds lived and worked in New Jersey, where Frank worked as an unknown singing waiter and master of ceremonies at the Rustic Cabin while Nancy worked as a secretary at the American Type Founders. His musical career took off after singing with big band leaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey...
