Seller's Description

NP1 A specialist produced card from circa 25 years ago when this unique work by American Jewish artist RB Kitaj called The Jew I believe showing a Jew in a train carriage dated 1976 and the official limited edition postcard souvenir on display at the Tate Gallery in London given only to attendees unused in mint condition

"The careless manner of Kitaj is a hybrid style of pastiche: a little bit of fake Beckmann, a little bit of fake Picasso, but above all fake. These are the paintings of someone who feels he ought to be painting like this - looseness, freedom, gestural self-expression generally being regarded as traits of great artists in their old age - not of someone compelled to paint like this. Their transparency is pitiable partly because, by painting them, Kitaj has finally allowed the myth of himself to be seen through. A Wandering Jew for the 20th century, this mythical Kitaj is the visual poet of diaspora and the style of his art, with its broken, discontinuous surfaces, its enigmatic elisions of unlike subject matters, reflects nothing less than the vagaries of the Human Condition & the unique style of this historic Jewish painter.
