Silverman Family Art Exhibit
The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum presents: "Silverman Family Art: The diverse artistry of a creative family". Paintings, illustrations, and designs of Elijah and Ruth Silverman and their daughter Susan Silverman Fink.
The distinguished artist and illustrator Elijah Silverman (1910-1994) is well known for his evocative sketches of New York City, for his iconic logos (Good Housekeeping, People, and American Heritage were just a few of his clients) and for his compelling book-jackets, movie posters, and album covers, from the 1930s through the 1970s. Less familiar to the general public, but no less honored in the art world were his abstractions, figure studies, cityscapes, landscapes and figure studies in oil, exhibited to enthusiastic public and critical response in prominent New York galleries.
Elijah’s wife Ruth Linden Silverman has had a career in art that was different from but no less honored in the field than his: a student of New York’s Art Student League and an habituée of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, she won a scholarship at the prestigious Traphagen School of Design and had a long and distinguished career in advertising art and design, numbering among her clients such department stores as Abraham & Straus and B. Altman’s. Her delicate and sensitive illustrations of women’s and children’s fashions were among the most successful in the city for many years.
Their talented daughter, Susan Silverman Fink, has carried on the family tradition with an impressive roster of gallery and museum exhibitions in New York City and State. A graduate of the School of Visual Arts, the Art Students League (where her father taught), and the Woodstock School of Art, she has won numerous awards for her pastels, watercolors, drawings, and prints.
