Description
Jacques Hnizdovsky (Ukrainian/American, 1915-1985), White Swan
linocut on Japan paper, 1976, pencil signed, titled, dated, and numbered 33/100, unframed.
Image size 13 x 13 in.; Sheet size 16 1/2 x 17 1/4 in.
Jacques Hnizdovsky was born in the Ukraine in 1915 and he studied art in Warsaw and Zagreb. In the late 1940s, he moved to the United States and by the 1950s had focused his career on producing primarily woodcuts and linocuts, inspired by his love of Dürer, Japanese prints, and the folk art designs of his native Borshchiv. His prints exhibit a sense of symmetry and simplicity with clean strong lines and often a charm to their mostly figurative, often animals, subjects.
Hnizdovsky’s work was exhibited at many one-man shows throughout the United States, including shows at Associated American Artists in 1971 and 1979. He also exhibited in many foreign exhibitions, including in the USSR in 1963, Japan in 1967, Italy in 1972 and Ukraine in 1990. In 1987, a very fine fully illustrated catalogue raisonné Jacques Hnizdovsky: Woodcuts and Etchings was produced by Abe M. Tahir, Jr.
