Jack Gerber (American, 1927-2021) - Untitled Seated Woman (1961, Oil on Board)
Jack Gerber (American, 1927-2021) - Untitled Seated Woman (1961, Oil on Board). Portrait of Seated Woman is the beginning of Gerber’s style which emulated Max Beckmann and the Expressionists. This treatment of the figure would become his signature for the rest of his career. One of Jack Gerber’s earlier pieces. Signed in the lower right corner “Gerber, ‘61”. In fair condition. Scratches on the panel at the top and along the edges. Used condition. Please contact the store for more pictures if needed.
Size: 25.5”W x 32”H
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.
