Description: This is a 20 1/4 by 13 1/8 inches (image size) Bernard Gussow pastel painting entitled "Passageway" on the back gallery label. I believe it was done by this well-listed New Jersey and New York artist between 1902 and 1908. It is a wonderful period painting of a European scene. I believe this painting was done while Gussow was living in Paris sharing an apartment with his friend, the famous sculptor Jacob Epstein. Gussow and Epstein met and became friends while both were living in New York. It is in excellent condition and comes with an older frame showing some wear. The frame measures 29 by 21 inches. The glass will be blue-taped to prevent possible damage. This piece will be shipped for $50 via UPS. (Please be advised: I sell artwork, that is paintings and works on paper. This frame included with the artwork should be considered an extra, a throw-in, no matter how appealing or unappealing the frame or mat may be to you. You are offering for/purchasing the artwork. Considered this way, you will not be disappointed if the frame is not to your liking. Many buyers want to replace the frame anyway and offer accordingly.) Russian-born Gussow (born 2 January 1881-died 1957) was trained at both the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design; in addition he studied under Bonnat at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first claim to fame seems to have been exhibiting two works at the Armory Show in 1913 (Movement and Figures). Gussow exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists between 1917 and 1934 and at Salons of America in the 1930s. By the mid 1930s Gussow stopped exhibiting but was as regular as clockwork up until then. By that time, he had moved from abstract compositions to recognizable urban subjects & floral still lifes. The Whitney Museum of American Art, for example, has his Subway Stairs. The Barnes Foundation and the Museum of Modern Art also have his paintings. Gussow even participated in the Federal Art Project, contributing a post office mural (Recreation Hours) in East Rochester, NY. He taught for many years at the Newark School of Fine & Industrial Art.
