A large scale (approximately four feet by five feet) painting on canvas, circa 1981, of an organic modern abstract style landscape completed in neutral tones by European trained American artist Sinai Mordecai Waxman of New York City. The crisp lines are softened by the hues chosen by the artist. The scale of the painting assists in drawing out an emotive response from the viewer, transporting us to a landscape of mountainous and desert images all at once. The work is signed and dated in the lower right corner and is unframed. This painting is from a New York CIty estate. A brief biography on the artist Sinai Mordecai Waxman: Waxman studied in Paris, in the early 1950s, at Acadamie de la Grande Chaumier, Acadamie Julian, and with painter, Fernand Leger.
