    Sari Dienes Hungary / New York, (1899-1992) Bird Catching, ca.1940s oil on canvas board Signed lower right. Biography from the archives of AskArt: Multi-media artist Sari Dienes was born Sari Chylinska von Daivitz in 1899 in Debreczen, Hungary. She came to America at the outset of World War II. Dienes explored the use of found objects, ceramics, printmaking--including woodcuts, silkscreen murals, rubbings and color xeroxes as artistic media. She was one of the founding members of New York City's A.I.R. Gallery, one of the first all women cooperative galleries in the United States. Dienes was a fellow-in-residence for three years at the MacDowell Colony in 1952, 1953, and 1955, in Peterborough, New Hampshire; received a Ford Foundation grant in 1965; as well as grants from the Gottlieb Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts. She was also awarded a gold medal in 1979 from the Accademia Italia Delle Arti di Lavoro in Parma, Italy. Dienes taught at the Brooklyn Museum School, New York; Parsons School of Design, New York City; as well as holding residencies at the Cummington School of Art, in Massachusetts, in 1954, and at Atlos de Chavon, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Dienes studied with Fernand Leger, Amedee Ozenfant and Andre L'Hote in Paris, France at the Academie Moderne from 1930-1935. In 1937, she was Director of the Ozenfant School in London, England, where she studied with Henry Moore in 1938. The following year, she was working in New York City at Ozenfant's school there. She explored printmaking with Stanley William Hayter in his Atelier 17 in New York City. Prior to the visual arts, Dienes had studied music, dance and philosophy. Sari Dienes's exhibitions include, in New York City, the Wittenborn Gallery, and New School for Social Research, in 1942; Betty Parsons Gallery, 1950, 1954, 1959; Museum of Modern Art, 1961; A.I.R.

    Est: $3,000 - $5,000

    Titled "After the Bath", signed at the lower right corner. With exhibition tag from a 1989 showing at the Morin-Miller Galleries, New York. From Wikipedia "Sari Dienes (8 October 1898 - 25 May 1992) was a Hungarian-born American artist. During a career spanning six decades she worked in a wide range of media, creating paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, ceramics, textile designs, sets and costumes for theatre and dance, sound-art installations, mixed-media environments, music and performance art. Her large-scale 'Sidewalk Rubbings' of 1953-55 - bold, graphic, geometrical compositions, combining rubbings of manhole covers, subway gratings and other elements of the urban streetscape - signalled a move away from the gestural mark making of Abstract Expressionism towards the indexical appropriation of the environment that would be further developed in Pop art, and exerted a significant influence on Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns."
