This week the collections staff would like to know more about the artist and his printing techniques.
1. Is the artist indeed Jacob Landau based on the imagery and the signature?
2. Is this work part of a series of imagery on sports or boxing? Why did Landau create a work on boxing? Is there a personal connection to the sport?
3. What is the title of the work? Can you list the artist’s life dates and infer a date for the work?
4. Is the process/technique indeed a woodcut?
5. Why did the artist choose this medium for an image about boxing?
If you would like to provide us with additional resources, biographical or art historical, please list sources in the comments section.
