Jack Gerber (American, 1927-2021) - Study of Woman (ca. 1957, Oil on Board). Profile portrait of woman on board. One of Jack Gerber’s earlier pieces. Signed on back. In fair condition with chipped corner and crack at the middle top of board. Used condition.
Size: 24”H x 17.5”W
Jack Gerber's bold acrylic paintings feature thick-limbed figures, their faces almost cartoonish, engaged in everyday activities, such as walking through the park, encountering a guard dog, or spending the day at the beach. Each scene is suggestive of a larger, unknown story. Arranged in couples and groups, Gerber's characters are not isolated against stark backgrounds. Rather, their bodies overlap one another, arranged so as to create a continuous pattern. His work is reminiscent of Max Beckmann's, a German Expressionist artist whose dense, figurative canvases were similarly filled with implied narrative.
