Massive WPA Mural Study
About the Item
We acquired his large mural study out of an old Hudson River valley estate. It had been rolled up for years. It appears to have been cut down on the left side. Clearly a WPA Mural product. When we acquired it the dimensions were approximately 68 wide by 81 inches tall. We had it professionally stretched and approximately 3 inches were lost. It now measures 65 by 78 inches. It is not signed that we have found. It was likely a study for a large mural somewhere. There are a few different elements to the painting. There is an artist painting a girl reading, a fly fisherman in the wilderness and a group of people enjoying a production in what appears to be a theater, although that part on the left is likely gone forever.
Nevertheless it is quite a beautiful product of the WPA period.
There is quite a bit of paint loss as can be seen clearly. We have not tried to restore it in any way other than stretching it.

View AllSoviet Surrealist Evgeny Zhavoronkov "Rooster", 1989
Located in Palm Springs, CA
A quite amazing Soviet era painting from the Leningrad school by Evgeny Mikhailovich Zhavoronkov. It is dated 1989 and titled "Rooster" on the back of the linen canvas. Signed E.M. Zhavonronkov on the back. Also marked Group of 7 +1, Leningrad. It is signed on the front along the bottom. That's about all I was able to translate with a translator. a stunning painting as there is so much going on in each area. There is a paper label as well, which is a bit faded. The frame is likely newer. I believe this is Non-Conformist Soviet era art...
