R B Kitaj, (American, 1932-2007) Self-Portrait, Lithograph, Signed in pencil, numbered 4/50. Overall: 30"h x 24-3/4"w Sight sizes: 21-1/2"h x 15-3/4"w . Framed in a wood frame behind glass with tone on tone matting.
Ronald Brooks Kitaj helped define the post-war School of London (and coined the term itself) with his writings and bold, erudite, and expressive paintings. They referenced art history, literature, and, most significantly, Judaism. Drawing on the formalism of Paul Cézanne and Edgar Degas, Kitaj produced kaleidoscopic figurations, loose-brushed landscapes, and vibrant, collage-like compositions that synthesized ideas about history, politics, religion, and identity. Kitaj was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1982. In 1985, he became the first American to be elected to the Royal Academy since 1894, when John Singer Sargent was elected. Retrospectives of his work have been held at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Tate, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Kitaj’s paintings have sold for six figures on the secondary market. less
