ABE BLASHKO
American, (1920-2011)

Lithograph, 1939, edition 35. 16 3/4 x 11 in. Signed on the stone, lower left. Signed, titled and numbered in pencil. This is a strong, rich impression of this large work. The margins are wide and the condition is quite good apart from a skillfully repaired tear in the lower margin, center, just to the image. Blashko had a one-man show of twenty five drawings at the Seattle Art Museum in 1938. He was then only eighteen years old. He worked as a longshoreman at the Seattle docks and eventually moved to NY where he published cartoons and continued making prints, drawings and paintings. He had a major retrospective at the Susan Teller Gallery in 1987. His work is included in several museum collections including the National Gallery of Art.      SOLD
