About the Item

Nahum Tschacbasov Lovers and Others (Two Unique Works), 1978-1979 Gouache on Two-sided Paper (Two Signed Works) Hand signed twice: once on each side 11 × 15 inches (each side) A rare, unique, original find for true art lovers - or, simply, for two lovers: two paintings for the price of one. It's unframed, but we recommend framing with an open back, so the painting can be reversed! Two Gouache paintings on one (double sided) paper. The verso (back) was completed and signed in 1978; the front work signed 1979. Tschacbasov spent two years creating this magnificent piece. The painting on the predominantly blue recto (front) is signed in black watercolor and dated lower right "Tschacbasov, 79" Gouache on the predominantly black and white verso (back) of the sheet, is signed in black watercolor, and dated "Tschacbasov, 78" Both unique works are done on one double sided sheet of watercolor paper. Recto in fine condition; minor foxing to the white area of the drawing on the back. This is a real find. Two important, impressive Cubist and Figural works on paper - a double sided gouache on one sheet, by the well listed artist Nahum Tschacbasov (1899-1984), who exhibited in the 1940s alongside Mark Rothko, Max Weber, Stuart Davis, David Burliuk and others.

Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother (The Fifth Commandment) Lithograph Signed/N
By Robert Kushner
Located in New York, NY
Robert Kushner Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother (The Fifth Commandment), 1987 6 Color Lithograph on Dieu Donne handmade paper 24 × 18 inches Pencil signed and numbered 6/84 in graphite on the front Unframed with deckled edges This five color lithograph on Dieu Donne hand made paper with deckled edges is pencil signed, dated and numbered from the limited edition of 84. This 1980s Robert Kushner print was created as part of the 1987 portfolio "The Ten Commandments", in which ten top Jewish American artists were each invited to choose an Old Testament commandment to interpret in contemporary lithographic form. The "Chosen" artists were, in order of Commandment: Kenny Scharf, Joseph Nechvatal, Gretchen Bender, April Gornik, Robert Kushner, Nancy Spero, Vito Acconci, Jane Dickson, Judy Rifka and Richard Bosman. This is the first time the print will have been removed from the original portfolio case. (shown). Lisa Liebmann, who wrote the introduction to the collection, observed: "...The image has, for most of us, replaced the word..." With respect to the present work, she writes, "There is a sweet smell of nostalgia to Robert Kushner's view of the FIFTH COMMANDMENT, to honor one's parents. Kushner's subtly ornate use of colors suffuses his subject with a filagreed texture of warmth. In this gentle icon, the traditional duo - all those Ozzies and Harriets in our hearts and on the airwaves -are frames as if by a bubble bath of affection." ROBERT KUSHNER BIOGRAPHY Since participating in the early years of the Pattern and Decoration Movement in the 1970s, Robert Kushner has continued to address controversial issues involving decoration. Kushner draws from a unique range of influences, including Islamic and European textiles, Henri Matisse, Georgia O’Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Pierre Bonnard, Tawaraya Sotatsu, Ito Jakuchu, Qi Baishi, and Wu...
