Item:174868230923Three Young Violinists Charcoal DrawingS-1920s/30s-Bernard Gussow. This is a 10 by 12 1/2 inch charcoal drawing of two young male and one young female violinists. It was done by listed New Jersey and New York artist Bernard Gussow (1881-1957). It was probably done in the 1920s or 1930s. It is in very good to excellent condition. See the above condition report as well as the photos. It will be shipped for $20 via USPS or UPS. The photos tell the story. Russian-born Gussow (born 2 January 1881) was trained at both the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design; in addition he studied under Bonnat at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first claim to fame seems to have been exhibiting two works at the Armory Show in 1913 (Movement and Figures). Gussow exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists between 1917 and 1934 and at Salons of America in the 1930s. By the mid 1930s Gussow stopped exhibiting but was as regular as clockwork up until then. By that time, he had moved from abstract compositions to recognizable urban subjects. The Whitney Museum of American Art, for example, has his Subway Stairs. The Barnes Foundation and the Museum of Modern Art also have his paintings. Gussow even participated in the Federal Art Project, contributing a post office mural (Recreation Hours) in East Rochester, NY. The figures in this painting might owe something to his contemporary Max Weber, who used similar simplified, mask-like faces. Or he may have gone directly to the Blue Rider Group or German Expressionists such as Franz Marc or Erich Heckel who were interested in "primitive" figures in landscapes. Weber also painted similar gently curving, cylindrical trees.
Condition:Excellent, 1 1/2 inch diagonal crease in upper right-hand corner. See the photos.
