Description
Attributed to Manoucher Yektai, Iranian, American, 1922 to 2019, oil painting on canvas depicting a Figurative composition, 1953. Signed and dated, lower right. Manoucher Yektai was an Iranian born American artist. He is associated with New York School art movement. His version of cultural hybridity is not so much shaped by different layers as by different channels: a traditional Persian poet, a Modernist American painter. In 1945, he moved to France, in search of the Modernist freedom to seek oneself through expression that the School of Paris offered. But the war was not over and Yektai waited in New York for several months, where he began studying at Ozenfant's studio on 20th Street and at the Art Student League. Far from seeing himself as a destroyer of beauty, Yektai believes in the dignity of human life and celebrates the beauty of the forms it transpires among. One of a kind artwork.
