"Man with Driving Cap", 1923 Cubist-Influenced Art Deco Drawing

About the Item

Compellingly drawn in a Cubist-influenced Art Deco manner, this strong and vivid portrait of a man in a driving cap was made by Misha Reznikoff, a Ukranian-American artist. Reznikoff studied at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and later in Europe where he became close friends with Arshile Gorky, a friendship that lasted a lifetime. Later he taught at the Art Students League and The New School for Social Research, was active in the WPA and socialized with Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Ad Reinhardt, Milton Avery, Milton Resnick and Diego Rivera. The drawing is executed on pale ruddy-brown paper and is signed in the lower righthand corner.

"Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by Klimt
By Erwin Stolz
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Bold and atmospheric, this ink drawing depicts a kneeling nude male figure, his bow arched and his arrow ready to spring forward, surrounded by a flower-bedecked landscape that clearly draws its inspiration from Gustav Klimt's work. To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...
