JACOB KAINEN
Figurative Paintings, 1959-1965
Works on Paper, 1950-1954
Jacob Kainen broke from nonrepresentational abstraction in 1958 and redirected his energy to painting the figure. Kainen approached the subject as a form in space, voluminous and monumental. The works on paper capture a key moment in the evolution of Kainen's work, evidencing the artist's move towards anthropomorphic abstraction.
GODFREY FRANKEL
Windows & Signs, 1947
Godfrey Frankel captures the essence of New York City in his photographs of storefront windows and signs. The subjects in Frankel's photographs reflect the industrious city of New York and the diversity of the people that emerged from the Great Depression and World War II.
