Study 30 / Bruskin, Grisha., 1990

 Item
Identifier: CC-23285-23725
Scope and Contents

The drawing consists of a grid of eight subdivisions containing figures of Russian-Jewish extraction and surrealistic creatures, imagery commonly employed by Gruskin in his oeuvre. The calligraphic Hebrew in red and black inks in each of the subdivisions is nontranslatable and Kabbalistic in sensibility, recalling the use for similar purposes by the American artist Wallace Berman. A few words in the Cyrillic alphabet are also present. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Identifier: CC-37208-39052
Scope and Contents

Wescher wrote alternating recipes and romantic phrases on a place setting of off-white dishes. For example, the bowl combines a recipe for tomato basil soup with "2 warm bodies" and "2 sets free roaming hands." The dessert dish calls for "express cream, ricotta cheese" and "2 pairs caressing hands," and "2 pairs soft lips." The appetizer plate reads, "spicy grilled shrimp, 2 eyes with lashes painted." The salad plate is for strawberry-avocado salad with "2 pairs soft lips 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 wet tongues." The main course, on a dinner plate, is "chicken and asparagus, black bean enchiladas, 2 warm bodies." The texts were written in a circular pattern starting from the outside edge to the center. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
