Signed en verso in black marker JOS LOMOFF together with the artist's address and phone number; additionally titled lower center A FAIRY TALE. Housed in a gilt and ebonized wood frame. Sight: 55 1/2" H x 58 1/2 W. Framed: 58 7/8" H x 61 3/4" W. 1st Half 20th century. Biography: Born in Russia, Lomoff traveled to the US in 1912 and immigrated in 1925, where he found employment as (among other jobs) a sign painter. His Futurist-influenced works like "Mystery" and "Legend of Atlantis" began to appear in group shows by the late 1920s. Lomoff exhibited numerous times with the Society of Independent Artists between the mid-1920s and early 1940s. In 1934, as part of the Public Works of Art Project, he painted a mural titled "Nursery Tales" in the Children's Hospital on Charity Island (now named Roosevelt Island). In 1937, amidst Congressional cuts to the Federal Arts Project, he was among those painters showing at a "Pink Slip Exhibition" in New York City. Subsequently, "Toilers of the Sea" appeared at the Brooklyn Museum (1943), and he was part of an innovative 1946 exhibit at Loew's Mayfair Theatre in Times Square--which had been organized following Thomas Hart Benton's statement that art should be in public places and not "buried in mausoleum-like art galleries." He is known for his Abstract cubist, and social realist paintings. (Adapted from Genesee Valley Council on the Arts).
