SZYK, ARTHUR.

Place

New Canaan, 1948

summary

“The brushstrokes are separate and visible, almost like threads in a tapestry; however, in every other way [this miniature painting is] typical of Szyk’s mature style, with elaborate decorative borders and a multitude of rich colors and patterns.” See J.P. Ansell, Arthur Szyk, Life and Work in: I. Ungar, Justice Illuminated: The Art of Arthur Szyk (1998) p.88
