Misha Reznikoff
Misha Reznikoff (1905–1971) was an American-Ukrainian artist noted for such pictures as The End of the Horse – Or New Deal (1934) and The Solidity of the Road to Metaphor and Memory (1935).[1] He was born in Kyiv, Russian Empire, in 1905 and died in New York in 1971.[1] He was married to photographer Genevieve Naylor.
From 1940 to 1943, the couple was in Brazil as part of the cultural wing of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs,[2] a program set by the Roosevelt Administration to promote American goodwill throughout Latin America. Reznikoff used techniques such as décollage and was described by Clement Greenberg as a "frail talent".[3]
He was exhibited in galleries such as the Anita Shapolsky Gallery and the Michael Rosenfeld Gallery in New York City.[4][5]
