Description:

David Davidovich Burliuk (Ukrainian/American, 1882-1967)

Seascape
Signed "BURLiUK" l.l., inscribed indistinctly "...PUTNAM..." on the stretcher.
Oil on canvas, 16 x 20 in. (40.6 x 50.8 cm),framed.
Condition: Minor surface grime and craquelure.

N.B. The Burliuk Committee has kindly confirmed that this work will appear in the forthcoming Burliuk catalogue raisonné.
Estimate $1,000-1,500

Framed dimensions are 21 3/4 x 26 x 2 1/2 inches.
there is a fragmentary brown paper label on the stretcher that seems to read "...PUTNAM VAL..."

Minor canvas deformation more noticeable in lower left corner. Scattered small accretions. Stable craquelure in areas of very heavy impasto. Scattered spots that appear to be glue on the left side of the reverse. Their purpose is not clear since there is no evidence of any corresponding old repairs or retouch to the front of the work. The painting does not appear to have ever been varnished. It would benefit from a cleaning.
