This is an 14 by 18 1/2 inch modernist ink drawing by New York artist August Mosca of three artist friends of Mosca. I am not sure what specific artist these are. He was good friends with Robert Kipness and Fairfield Porter, to name two. It dates from 1957. It is in very good to excellent condition. It will be sent by USPs for $18. August Mosca was born in Naples, Italy on August 19, 1909. He and his family emigrated to the United States in 1911. He attended Yale School of Fine Arts in 1924 -1926, before moving to New York City where he attended Pratt Institute (1929). While living in his studio on Sixth Avenue and West Fourth Street in 1931, he studied at the Art Students League with Harry Wickey. In 1932, he studied at Grand Central Art School and made his first trip to study in Italy. After meeting Joseph Stella in 1937, Mosca was introduced by Stella to the silverpoint medium which he perfected throughout his life. With the encouragement of Stella, Mosca developed his own approach to painting the city, urban life and the subways and trains of New York. 1939 saw the completion of Mr. Mosca’s first paintings of New York City bridges and subways. He received the California Palace Legion of Honor Medal and Took part in Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition “Portrait of America” during the mid-1940s. His first solo exhibit was at Salpeter Gallery in New York City, where he showed annually from 1959 through 1969 and 1961 marked a one man show at Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York. Butler Institute of American Art, Library of Congress, and Brooklyn Museum (two silverpoint drawings) acquired his work during that time. During the 1970s, Mosca had solo exhibits at New York Cultural Center, Fordham University, and FAR Gallery (NYC). His work was acquired by Grey Collection of New York University, Parrish Art Museum (Southampton, NY), and New York Public Library. He received the President’s Award in the Audubon Annual, the Barney Paiser Award, and the Purchase Prize in the Society of American Graphics Artists Annual. In 1978, the Association of American Artists commissioned two lithographs. In 1987, East End Arts Council held a one man exhibition of silverpoint drawings and produced a cable television show in conjunction with the exhibit. He participated in “Impressionism and Post-Impressionism” and “New York: Empire City in the Age of Urbanism 1875 – 1945” exhibits, in 1988, at Grand Central Art Galleries, followed by “August Mosca, A Fifty Year Retrospective Exhibit” in 1990. In the late 190s he had a one-man show at A.C.A. Gallery in New York. He has become known for his modernist urban scenes, his vibrant still lives and his colorful and lively women and nudes.
