Anatole Krasnyansky Serigraph Signed 11.5in x 8in Outskirt of Prague Ukraine Jew

Description: This is a Serigraph on canvas by Anatole Krasnyansky (Apr 26, 1930-Mar 10, 2023), signed in marker. It is entitled Outskirt of Prague. The image measures approx 11.5 in x 8 in. It is framed within a magnificent , high-end frame. The frame measures approx 22 in x 18 in. The serigraph is not under glass. It is in overall excellent condition. I noticed a small 1cm line of slight crackling of the paint (see photo), though it is does not detract from the delightfulness of this piece. This serigraph was acquired at an estate sale in La Habra, CA. Anatole Krasnyansky was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. His father passed away in 1931 from leukemia, so he and his mother relied on the support of her brother. In 1941, Krasnyansky and his mother fled the invading German army by escaping to Stalingrad (now Volgograd), then later to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where he graduated from high school in 1947. That same year, Krasnyansky returned to Kyiv. He studied architectural restoration at the School of Architecture program at the Kyiv State Art Institute (now the Ukraine State Art Academy) as well as at the Leningrad Academy of Art, receiving his masters in architecture in 1953. Krasnyansky married Nelly Koshevatsky in 1957 and, in 1966, gave birth to their daughter, Rimma. In 1975, his family left the U.S.S.R. for the United States. His awareness of the interdependence of architecture, sculpture, painting, and applied art would shape his career in his new country. Krasnyansky became a background artist and set designer for major television and movie studios, including ABC, CBS, and Universal Studios. The artist’s modern, surreal style developed due to the information overload and experiences of his new life in the United States. In 1981, while working for ABC-TV, Krasnyansky worked on a set for the rock band KISS. The band’s live performance incorporated outlandish outfits, loud music, and harsh, flashing lights. The performance shocked the classically-educated artist and architect. Krasnyansky was compelled to exorcize the emotions caused by the experience. It was then that the artist began incorporating surreal, masked characters into his paintings.
