Sylvia Rutkoff Landscape Paintings
American, 1919-2011
Sylvia Weinreb Rutkoff (1919-2011)
Born in Wisconsin in 1919 and painted in New York.
Arts Magazine called her work a “happy wedding of the natural image to the violent immediacy of the expressionist idiom.” She has been described as “vital” by the New York Herald Tribune and as an “outstanding colorist” by the New York Times. Her non-objective paintings of oils, sand and acrylics are done with intensity and simplicity.
She received numerous reviews including this one from the well regarded art critic, Gregory Battock: “Highly sophisticated textures that speak firmly and imaginatively contribute a lot to the Art Brut works by this artist. One thinks of a gay and colorful Dubuffet. Miss Rutkoff offers naive and primitive images in a refreshing and delightful manner”
The cache of paintings by Sylvia Rukoff was recently acquired through her great nephew. This important new discovery of American art is now being offered for sale.

The Edge, original 24x36 abstract expressionist marine landcape
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
Wave play is all about the miraculous action of the sea at the edge of earth. It is all about the excitement and motion and the play of colors as the sunlight glistens upon the ocean blues, the sandy beiges, creams and taupes and how it makes you feel! The undertow crashes into the beachfront demanding control of the powerful surf! The gritty texture of nature in this original oil painting never recedes! This marine landscape commands attention with the free feeling abstract expressionism brush strokes, impasto paint application and insistence that it remains an organic reflection of the artist's experiences. International artist Anita Lewis...
