Sylvia Weinreb Rutkoff (1919-2011)
Born in Wisconsin in 1919 and painted in New York.

Arts Magazine called her work a happy wedding of the natural image to the violent immediacy of the expressionist idiom. She has been described as vital by the New York Herald Tribune and as an outstanding colorist by the New York Times. Her non-objective paintings of oils, sand and acrylics are done with intensity and simplicity.

She received numerous reviews including this one from the well regarded art critic, Gregory Battock: Highly sophisticated textures that speak firmly and imaginatively contribute a lot to the Art Brut works by this artist. One thinks of a gay and colorful Dubuffet. Miss Rutkoff offers naive and primitive images in a refreshing and delightful manner
