Still Life in Lavender and Rose

Circa 1975

Hand signed Lower left Joseph Raskin painted still lifes throughout his career, often using them for formal and technical experimentation. Here, the artist renders a bouquet of a wide variety of flowers in a white vase, in the background the artist places a mirror where the floral arrangement is reflected in it. The artist's choice of colors is vibrant, creating contrast between the subject, and the background in the composition. Joseph Raskin was a painter, etcher, teacher, and writer and co-author with his wife, Edith, of 10 books for young adults. Mr. Raskin studied at the National Academy of Design, which awarded him several fellowships for his work.
