    The Ratmen. Massacre * Confession * Seeds of Aryan Kultur No. 1 * Seeds of Aryan Kultur No. 2 * Partisans * Confessions No. 1 * Confessions No. 2. Each color pastel and charcoal on cream laid paper, 1942. Each signed in charcoal, lower right. Five titled and dated in pencil, lower margin. Each ex-collection the artist, New York. Various sizes and conditions. Abe Blashko grew up in Seattle and had an early proclivity for drawing. At the age of 18, in 1938, he had his first one man exhibition of prints and drawings at the Seattle Art Museum. In 1942, Blashko produced a series of color drawings on the theme "Seeds Of Aryan Kultur" as a response to the Nazi atrocities in Europe that had claimed the lives of most of his family members in Poland. These powerful drawings depicted in graphic detail the horrors of the holocaust. In these drawings, the Nazis were depicted as "Ratmen," grotesque hybrids of human beings and rats. One of the drawings from the series was illustrated in the Art Digest, the nation's leading art journal of the period, but as a group they were considered too controversial and were not publicly exhibited until 1992 in New York City. Able Blashko has lived in the East Village in New York City since 1943.
