YURI KRASNY UKRANIAN AMERICAN COLOR LITHOGRAPH - Yuri Krasny, Ukranian-American, 1925 to 2005, color lithograph on paper. The artwork represents a group portrait in riverside scenery. Signed in pencil and dedicated to Margo in the lower right. Marked A.E for Artists Proof in the lower left. Ca. 1970s. Matted and framed. Provenance: Collection of Margo Grant, Director of MORA, Museum of Russian Art. Yuri Krasny lived and worked in New York since his emigration from the Soviet Union in the mid-1970s. His pictures depict over-life-size images of people and uneasy scenarios in fascinating colors. The construction of the artworks is very static and the figures are doll-like as a symbolic reminder of what has been left behind, oscillating between morality and amorality.
