Red, White and Blue

It could be easy to assume this piece was intended to be a patriotic statement.  A few people who have seen it in person have already had that reaction.  This might happen in the United States or any of the 30 countries that use the three-color combination of red, white and blue in their flags.  Perhaps you assume this was a nod to the Norwegian Curling Team.  While I would love some of their ensembles for party outfits — no, this is not the case.  This set of colors takes its inspiration from folk costumes found in Kashubia in northern Poland.

Concert in Atelier (1950). Zygmunt (Sigmund) Menkes (Polish-American, 1896-1986). Oil on canvas.

Menkes’ expansive still lifes and interior scenes - often depicting the artist's studio in Riverdale, New York - were composed of balanced, multi-directional configurations of lines. Figures and objects were melded ever more precisely with backgrounds, while his color schemes, dominated by hues of blue, black and white, evoked nostalgia.
