This is a great piece. This is a wonderful mid 20th Century painting. I have owned one other Jacob Semiatin painting in the past. It hung in my house for about a decade and then when we redecorated I ended up selling it to a close friend who had loved it for as long as it hung in my home. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included his biography below. This is a wonderful watercolor and ink on paper painting measuring 22 x 15 inches. Painting is in outstanding as painted condition. Signed lower left. Painting is floated in wonderful archival backing, matte and black frame all done by J Pocker. Really just a beautiful display of this great painting. Frame measures 29 3/4 x 22 1/2 inches.
For those not familiar with the artist his biography from askart reads: " Jacob Semiatin was born 1915 to Hungarian Jewish Parents in Dublin, Ireland. The Portobello region of Dublin had previously been a Jewish enclave. However, the large-scale emigration that affected Ireland had a particularly strong effect on this Jewish population. Semiatin emigrated with his parents and siblings to America in 1920 aboard the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, landing at Ellis Island. The family settled in Brooklyn, New York. In the 1930s, Semiatin became an active member of the Brooklyn Society of Artists where artists such as Jackson Pollock and Nicolas de Stael would exhibit. During this period many of his watercolors depict scenes of urban industrial city life. In the early 1940s, he would visit Mississippi County in Arkansas, painting many rural landscape watercolors. During World War II Semiatin served his country as a private in the army at Camp Upton in Yaphank, New York. less
