An Abstract Hand Painted Stone by Ilya Schor

About the Item

This striking hand-painted stone by the esteemed artist Ilya Schor, created in Provincetown, Massachusetts, during the 1950s, is a remarkable example of his unique blend of abstract expressionism and folk art influences. Rendered in bold black ink on the natural stone surface, the composition features an intricate arrangement of geometric forms, organic patterns, and symbolic motifs that evoke both mysticism and modernist abstraction. The design appears to depict a stylized figure or totem-like entity, with an owl-like face at the top, angular and curvilinear elements intertwining below, and a harmonious interplay of shapes that suggest both movement and structure. Schor’s masterful use of negative space and his meticulous linework imbue the piece with a sense of depth and rhythm, drawing the viewer into its intricate details. This piece serves as a testament to Schor’s versatility as an artist, seamlessly blending Jewish artistic traditions with modernist abstraction, making it a rare and thought-provoking work of art.
