About the Item
Green toned abstract figurative painting by Houston, TX artist, Sherry Sullivan. Painting depicts an abstracted figure of a marathon runner with exposed muscles running past a colorful round target against a green background. Signed by artist in front and at the back.
Artist Biography: Sherry Sullivan described herself as "an abstract artist always with some subject matter." She has created art since her childhood in Chicago and studied art at Northwestern University, Marycrest College and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her Stations of the Cross series comprised 14 paintings painted more than 50 years ago. She completed the project as part of a three-member artists' coalition affiliated with St. Mary Church in Park Forest, Ill. The paintings remained at the church until 2010, when Sullivan learned the building was being remodeled, and the art had been taken down to make room for new pieces. With help from her children, she had the paintings moved to Houston so she could begin cleaning and restoring them. Sullivan died in May of 2017.

Oil on canvas Dimensions 16 1/8 x 51 1/16in Pinchas Litvinovsky (1894-1985) was a prominent Israeli painter, born in the Russian Empire (now Belarus) in Novo-Georgiyevsk, Russia. As a student he visited the Bezalel exhibition in Odessa and met Boris Schatz, the founder of the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts.

He immigrated to Palestine in 1911, where he became a key figure in the local art scene and was among the pioneers of Israeli art. Litvinovsky studied art in Odessa and later in Paris at the Académie Julian. In the 1930’s he traveled to Paris, France where he encountered the art of Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and artists of the Ecole Juif Jewish School of Paris. (Marc Chagall, Modigliani, Chaim Soutine). Litvinovsky worked in many modernist styles, especially Cubism as reflected in the Russian constructivist paintings of the 1920’s His work, which includes landscapes, portraits, and biblical scenes, reflects a blend of European influences and Middle Eastern motifs. He was a member of the Bezalel group of artists and participated in the establishment of the Tel Aviv Artists' House. Throughout his career, Litvinovsky's art evolved, but he remained dedicated to exploring the unique light and landscapes of Israel, contributing significantly to the cultural fabric of the young nation.
