Description
(New York, 1917-2004)
Untitled, abstract, 1958, signed at bottom "Resnick", oil on paper, 26-1/4 x 20-1/8 in.; unframed
Provenance: Gift of Grace Borgenicht-Brandt, American art dealer; Property of a Southern Museum sold to benefit the Acquisition Fund
Note: Jack Tworkov described Resnick's oeuvre as relating much to Soutine: (both Resnick's and Soutine's) passion is not for the picture as a thing, but for the creative process itself. It is meant to have impact on the soul. It is the unpremeditated form the picture takes as a result of the struggle to express motive, to capture the sequence of ephemeral experience, the tragic anxiety, the constant brooding over being and not-being, over bloom and decay, over life and death. It is not technique, but process". -Askart
