About the Item

A mixed media on heavy paper. Signed lower right. The artwork can be exhibited vertically or horizontally. Image measures 24.75 x 29.75 inches Framed size is 25.5 x 30.5 inches. Born in Dnipro, Ukraine (Yekaterinoslav, when previously controlled by the Russian Empire from 1784–1918), Gerardia immigrated to America in the early 1900s and settled in New York. She began teaching in New York’s elementary schools and then transitioned to pursuing a career as a professional artist. Gerardia first studied at the Art Students League (New York) in 1947 and was awarded a two-year scholarship at the Tschacbasov School of Fine Arts in Woodstock, New York. From 1947–48, she continued her studies with Hans Hofmann (1880–1966) at the Hofmann School and Brooklyn Museum of Art. At first influenced by Hoffmann’s Abstract Expressionist style, her interests later shifted to Cubism and hard-edged, precise geometric abstraction. During her life, Gerardia achieved considerable success and she made exclusive editions of prints for the Society of American Graphic Artists and Contemporaries. She served as President of the American Society of Contemporary Artists and the National Association Women Artists. In addition, Gerardia was appointed as a delegate to the US Committee of the International Association of Art.

Provenance: Barry Friedman Gallery, Modernism Fine Arts, New York. Estate Stamped. Thilo Maatsch (1900-1983) Thilo Maatsch has an epiphany at age 16 when, having been taken to Berlin’s prestigious Avant Garde art gallery Der Sturm, he’s mesmerized by the work of Franz Marc, and determines to be an artist. Eleven years later, he’ll one day recall with pride, his work exhibits there. Born and raised in 1900 Braunschweig, Germany, Maatsch by age 18 forms "Gesellschaft der Freunde junger Kunst" (Society of Friends of New Art) with Rudolf Jahns and Johannes Molzahn. Its members include soon-to-be-famous Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, who promotes Maatsch and becomes something of a father figure. Introductions to collector Otto Ralfs in Braunschweig and the esteemed painter Heinrich Vogeler in Worpswede over the next two years influence his expanding body of work. By 1922 Maatsch has a growing family to support, and as his art fails to provide this he begins training to be a teacher, a vocation he’ll fall back on repeatedly throughout his life. His first assignment is that of primary school teaching in Holzminden. 1924 sees Ralfs purchasing a Maatsch work and hanging it alongside the now well-known names of Mondrian, Kandinsky and Klee. The following year Ralfs launches an entire exhibition of the Society of Friends of New Art. Because of his day job, Maatsch is unable to realize his wish to study at the Bauhaus, the avant garde epicenter in Weimar and later, Dessau. But thanks to Kandinsky, Klee and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, he’s allowed to occupy their studios and study with them during school holidays. His befriending of Kurt Schwitters during this time explains why Maatsch is often included in the so-called Schwitters Group. In 1925 he joins the Novembergruppe (November Group) and exhibits annually in the renowned Große Berliner Kunstausstellung (Great Berlin Art Exhibition...
