Celebration

Anatole Krasnyansky (b. 1930, Kiev, Ukraine) “Celebration” (1998) Limited edition, hand-signed, matted, and framed serigraph by the Los Angeles, CA resident. The colorful image is 23.5 x 16.25 inches, and with the professional mounting, fillet, matting and complementary frame, the work of art measures 35.5 x 28 inches. The artist’s hand signature is in the lower left and the Printer’s Proof edition number (PP 30/46) is in the lower right of the piece. A Certificate of Authenticity is included. Depicted is one of Krasnyansky’s “Bridging Two Worlds” pieces combining one of his traditional style European realism images with a masked, dancing musician in the form of a “scaramouche” (an Italian clownish character). The two styles represent his architectural background and the influence of American rock music on his art. This image is “after” the 1997 original painting in which a delightful and multi-colored figure rises above the ground represented by an old-world cityscape.
