8 3/4" by 10 3/4" framed. Jacob Landau (1917 - 2001) was active/lived in New Jersey. Jacob Landau is known for Graphics, illustration, abstraction, woodcut, prints. The celebrated New Jersey artist and teacher Jacob Landau has artwork that is comprised by a selection of prints. The collection includes woodcuts that were not published and are thus rarely seen, including Modern Prometheus (1951); and Dimitri Mitroploulos (1959), as well as his editioned Rachmaninoff (1958), Happening (1963), Horses and Men (1966), and I, John Brown (1968). Images among Landau’s later work in lithography include Ritual Happening(1964), Palace (1965), and The Ninth Circle (from the Dante Suite, 1975), prints done in collaboration with master printers at the famed Tamarind Lithography workshop. Landau’s work has been recognized by many awards and honors, and is included in collections of major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, National Gallery, Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others. The most recent comprehensive exhibition of Landau’s prints was at the New Jersey State Museum in 1981. Note: Landau and Leonard Baskin were contemporaries whose lives intersected for a time while living and studying in Paris in the early 1950's, and their early woodcuts from this period (arguably) reflect cross-influences. An exhibit of printed work by both artists is a possibility. Note: In the late 1990's, in a collaboration with the artist, David Sellers and his son Jonathan printed a small number of proofs using Jacob Landau's original woodblocks.
