April Gornik
Remember the Sabbath Day (The Fourth Commandment), 1987
2 Color Lithograph on Dieu Donne handmade paper with deckled edges

This rare April Gornik 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. This lithograph is in excellent condition; unframed. This is the first time it will have been removed from the original portfolio case. Lisa Liebmann, who wrote the introduction to the collection, observed: "...The image has, for most of us, replaced the word..." Liebmann refers to Gornik as one of the most "fundamental" of the artists, and with respect to the present work, she writes, "Judging from the appearance of all of her work over the last several years, Gornik is another Sabbath's Child, another unfashionable state during a period when people are more likely to brag about working overtime than complain about it. Her FOURTH COMMANDMENT, a "grisaille" seascape with limpid ocean, clouds that don't threaten and a trinity of rocks - is filled with the preternatural silence of her paintings, each of whose subject is a world of pure atmosphere, as if only inhabited by some afterimage of God..."
April Gornik Biography
April Gornik’s enigmatic landscapes draw on both plein-air realism and abstracted memories. In her paintings of sea, sky, forests, and horizons, the artist—who is based in Sag Harbor, New York—focuses on moments of transience and calm; her dramatic skyscapes, for example, alternately feature threatening thunderheads, magisterial clouds, and high-contrast sunrises and sunsets. Gornik received her BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Canada, and has exhibited widely in cities including New York, Halifax, and Dayton, Ohio. Her work belongs to the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Whitney Museum of American Art, among other institutions. Through her imposing compositions, Gornik homes in on the mystery and power of American landscapes that are too often taken for granted.
