Bach in Arts - Hommage a Bach

Memo-2599

Type:

Bach Painting

Title:

Bach & Violin

Description:

A unique still life with fantastic color and unusual use of masonite as background. The oil on board looks to be 1940-1970 from the masonite appearance. This one was signed at bottom left on music as shown in a photo. I love the funky style and colors style. It will brighten up a room as it did mine for years.This is a very good Koslowsky. It also has a very nice frame. It's an eyecatcher and deserves a very visible location.

About the artist:
Nota Koslowsky (Polish/American, b 1906) Painter, designer, engraver, and illustrator. Lived and active in New York. Koslowsky is celebrated for his remarkable paintings of people and places in modern Israel. They have been received with acclaim by both critics and public wherever they have been shown.
Nota was a wondeful artist with bio/auction listings in Who was Who (Falk-1975), Artprice, and Davenport and probably other places. Also, he has several references to him in Google for his work illustrating children's books.He had the same famous artist teachers that many did as he lived in NYC - such as Olinsky, Dumond, etc; plus he was trained in Poland before coming to the USA before WW2. He lived most of his life in NYC.; where he was a painter, designer, engraver, illustrator, etc. He has an 11 line listing in Who was Who in American Art (Vol 2, p.1894) and listings in Davenport, etc showing his many gallery exhibitions held all over the USA. Like a lot of folks, he was a lot more famous 40 years ago than now.

You attribute to Nota (or Nathan) Koslowsky. But that's Jacques (or Jacob) Koslowsky (1904-1993).
