About the Item

Beautifully realized in sanguine, a ruddy chalk, this view of a North African cityscape dominated by a wide, tumultuous sky and a mosque with a large, low dome and high minaret, was drawn 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 signed in the lower righthand corner.
