One of a series of linocuts on Japan by #MoisseyKogan from the 1930s. The original edition numbers 20 impressions, each signed Moissey Kogan Paris to the lower right of the image and numbered to the lower left. Dimensions - sheet size: 1/2

Today is #MoisseyKogan’s 146th birthday and here to mark the occasion is a variant cast of his Torso, artificial stone (pierre artificielle, Kunststein), c. 32.7 cm, 1927-28. This image comes from his friend Jan Engelman’s publication also named ‘Torso’ for the journal De Gemeenschap 1931.

The Fontaine Debussy, Paris, featuring major sculptural works by the Frères Martel, erected 1932, is under threat and poorly maintained. Article by Didier Rykner: freresmartel.blogspot.com/2000/04/a-pa...

So wonderful to receive this gift in the mail today: Kerry Wallach’s book, Traces of a Jewish Artist. The Lost Life and Work of Rahel Szalit #rahelszalit

Moissey Kogan made comparable prints in editions of 25. In this case, we don’t know how many exist or were produced in the first place. 1/2

Prompted to join @bluesky by increasingly ridiculous moves by Instagram. These two reliefs by #MoisseyKogan (killed at Auschwitz in 1943) are deemed too sexually explicit by them. Both at Kunsthalle Bremen. I’m trying to find other casts from the potential edutions #catalogueraisonné #arthistory
