Resika's most important teacher was Hans Hofmann, with whom he studied on Cape Cod and in New York City in the mid-forties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResika's subjects are drawn from nature and reflect his surroundings, which change with the seasons: in winter, he lives in New York; in summer, Cape Cod; in spring he spends time painting in the south of France and in Italy. Province-town piers, fishing boats in the harbor, figures on the beach, and French farmhouses in the countryside emanate a dreamlike serenity and make up the rich visual vocabulary for which Resika is best known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in a large format with more than 220 color illustrations, this book reflects over eight decades of Resika's output, with scholarly essays that reveal his ongoing dialogue with Hofmann's sophisticated ideas about color and pictorial structure.\u003cb\u003eAvis Berman\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, curator, and historian of American art, architecture, and culture. \u003cb\u003eJennifer Samet\u003c\/b\u003e is a New York-based art historian, curator, and writer. \u003cb\u003eKaren Wilkin\u003c\/b\u003e is a New York-based independent curator and art critic specializing in twentieth-century modernism. \u003cb\u003eJohn Yau\u003c\/b\u003e is an American poet and critic who lives in New York.","brand":"Rizzoli Electa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304770326757,"sku":"NP9780847864812","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780847864812.jpg?v=1767734558","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/paul-resika-isbn-9780847864812","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
