Esphyr Slobodkina, 1908-2002 (Russia/USA)
Est: £8,000 - £16,000
Esphyr Slobodkina (1908-2002). Abstract composition. 1964. Oil on canvas, size 91,5 x 59 cm (36 x 23 1/4 inches), frame dimensions 92,5 x 60 cm (36 1/3 x 23 2/3 inches). Signed and dated lower right. Esphyr Slobodkina was born in Siberia in 1908. In 1928 Slobodkina immigrated to New York City. She enrolled in the National Academy of Design the following year primarily to meet the requirements of her student visa. It was through a fellow student at the Academy that Slobodkina met her future husband Ilya Bolotowsky. A progressive thinker who had yet to experiment with abstraction in his own painting, Bolotowsky introduced Slobodkina to modern theories of art, particularly in relation to form, colour and composition. Associations with Balcomb and Gertrude Greene, Byron Browne and Giorgio Cavallon further exposed Slobodkina to the ideas of these pioneer abstract artists and sparked a personal interest in the movement. An invitation to the Yaddo artist colony brought Slobodkina and Bolotowsky to Saratoga Springs, New York in the early 1930s. It was during this visit that Slobodkina began tentative experimentation with abstraction, leading to her first Cubist-inspired work in 1934. By 1936 she had fully embraced abstraction as a means of artistic expression and her paintings reflected her interest in collage with their flat, layered forms and carefully constructed arrangements. In 1937 she became a founding member of the American Abstract Artists and went on to be the group's president in later years. In the early 1940s Slobodkina found a patron in A. E. Gallatin who purchased two of her works for his Museum of Living Art. Slobodkina was asked to participate in the important exhibition Eight by Eight: Abstract Painting Since 1940 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1945 which also featured Charles Green Shaw, George L.K. Morris, A.E. Morris, A.E. Morris, and George L.K. Morris. Morris, A.E. Gallatin, Suzy Frelinghuysen, Ilya Bolotowsky, Alice Trumbull Mason, and Ad Reinhardt. She was a regular exhibitor in the Whitney Museum of American Art's annuals through the 1950s.

ESPHYR SLOBODKINA (1908-2002) Untitled, (Mural Study). Pencil on paper, circa 1938. 102x254 mm; 4x10 inches. Provenance: The artist; Private collection. Esphyr Slobodkina married Ilya Bolotowsky in 1933, separating in 1936, and they divorced in 1938. Circa 1938 she created drawings and five oil paintings that were studies for murals. Bolotowsky's influence can be seen in her use of biomorphic and hard-edge abstract forms similar to the compositional elements of his Williamsburg mural. Slobodkina's time in the employ of the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (FAP)(WPA) began in 1936, serving as an assistant to Hananiah Harari in the mural division. There is no record she nor Harari were awarded any mural projects.

ESPHYR SLOBODKINA Abstract Composition.
Est: $5,000 - $8,000
ESPHYR SLOBODKINA Abstract Composition. Gouache on board, circa 1940s. 170x250 mm; 6 3/4x9 3/4 inches. Ex-collection the artist's estate; Kraushaar Galleries, Inc., New York, with the label on the frame back; private collection, Pennsylvania. Russian-American artist Slobodinka (1908-2002)escaped the Russian Revolution of 1917 with her family and eventually settled in the United States in 1928. She is known primarily for her children's book illustrations. However, she also played a critical role in founding the American Abstract Artists group with her husband Ilya Bolotowsky and Charles Green Shaw (see lots 219 and 220) in 1936. As with many Russian-American modernists, her oeuvre is defined by rich colors and suspended, interlocking forms. Her experimentation with a wide-range of creative media—wall hangings, constructions, dolls and jewelry—also speaks to the Russian crafting tradition, and her artistic innovation in these fields throughout her lifetime affirm her role as a significant figure in the development of the avant-garde tradition.
