About the Item

We acquired a number of paintings from the estate of Peter Paul Sakowski (1915-2000) of Holyoke, Mass. His style tended to vary from an illustrative graphic quality to the more fractured cubism he adopted during the 1950s and 60s. He was at heart a folk artist rooted in the WPA era traditions of social realism that he of came of age with in the 1930s. This portrait of two dancing figures demonstrates a fluid and abstract style. Titled “#13 Exaltation”, dated 1957.
