Description
A simple grouping of teapot, cup and spoon, cherries and an orange becomes an exploration of color and form thanks to Adler's gauzy rendering. Neutral backgrounds of brown and tan set apart small placements of red and blue; a painting upon the wall echoes those two colors in more explicitly geometric forms.
About the Artist: We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Born in Poltava, Russia (modern-day Ukraine) as Joseph Zaganchinsky, Adler immigrated to the US in 1907. Census records show him to have been a dressmaker, but obviously he seems to have painted as well. He was the father of NDG artist Fred Adler. 6 more images at FAP.
