REUVEN RUBIN (Israeli 1893-1974)
Jerusalem
Oil on canvas
21.25in. x 29in.
Signed lower right: Rika/ Rubin
Texas Frame Corporation label on verso
Provenance: From the artist's home in Israel to present owner

Although Reuven Rubin was born in Rumania and studied art in Paris, his art is distinctly Israeli. He studied briefly at the Bezalel School of Art in Jerusalem, and he made his exhibition debut in Jerusalem in 1922. In 1924, he had his first solo show and in 1932, he had another one-man show as part of the opening of the Tel Aviv Art Museum. He designed scenery for Habimah, the National Theater of Israel. Rubin created a Jewish style of art. Influenced heavily by the work of Henri Rousseau, Rubin fused the French style with Jewish nuances. Among Rubin's most memorable works are his paintings of the Yishuv, particularly landscape scenes that depict the Israeli worker. Biblical themes also occur frequently in his paintings. His work was extremely popular in Israel and he was the first Israeli artist to achieve international acclaim. Rubin served as Israel's first ambassador to Rumania from 1948-1950. His autobiography, My Life -- My Art, was published in 1969, and in 1973 he received the Israel Prize for his artistic achievements. Rubin signed his first name in Hebrew and his surname in Roman letters.

HENRY MARTIN GASSER (American 1909-1981)
Tournament No. 1: A Newark Gym, c. 1940
Watercolor on paper
23.5in. x 35.5in. (sight size)
Signed lower left: H. Gasser

Provenance: Macbeth Gallery, New York, c. 1950; present owner, c. 1980

Exhibited: Baltimore Water Color Club, 1960 (1st Place Award)

Illustrated: Henry Gasser, Casein Painting: Methods and Demonstrations (New York, NY: Watson-Guptill Publications, 1950), p.18

Tournament No. 1 is a tour de force in Gasser's oeuvre and it is the first of four paintings that make up his Tournament series. It is reported he considered it his best work. Boxing is a quintessential urban sport and subject popularized by Ashcan artist George Bellows with his dynamic ring fight images. Here, Gasser gives a unique interpretation of the boxing subject: rather than adopting the mid-punch action of the fight, he examines the segregated souls that inhabited the Newark New Jersey athletic club of his time. A rare period work of African American art.

Born in Newark, New Jersey, Gasser studied at the Newark School of Fine Art and Industrial Art. He later studied at Grand Central School of Art and at the Art Students League in New York City under Robert Brackman and John R. Grabach. Gasser's paintings are housed in prestigious public collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Newark Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the National Gallery of Art.
