James Lechay (American, 1907-2001) This mixed media (gouache, watercolor and oil) painting measures 15-1/2″ x 23-1/4″ or in the period wood frame dimensions of 21″ x 28″ is signed lower right, James Lechay. The painting is also personalized above the signature inscribed, ‘To Harry and Dylan’. The painting is in good condition with no defects or anything that distracts when viewing. The frame is in good to fair condition with some water staining, scratches, etc., but is very appropriate and goes wonderfully with the artwork. This fishing village done in an Abstract Impressionist style that James Lachey is best known, is a quintessential example of his work. *NOTE: The last two photos in the photo gallery are selling examples of James Lechay’s paintings. Biography James Lechaywas an Americanpainter who described himself an “abstract impressionist”. One of five children born to Russian Jewish immigrants, Lechay grew up in theBronxand inJoliet, Illinois. He earned a B.A. in psychology from theUniversity of Illinoisin 1928 and was a week from completing his M.A. when he quit school to return to New York to study painting with his older brother, the painter Myron Lechay (18911972). He rented a studio in a building on 16th Street and Sixth Avenue, where he met Raphael Soyer, Moses Soyer, Mark Rothko, and several other painters who had studios in the same building. Soon he was immersed in the aesthetic, social, and political struggles of New York City’s Depression-era art world.In 1934 he married Rose Davidowitz. Their daughter, Jo Lechay, was born in 1936 and a son, Daniel, in 1945. For a short time in the 1930s Lechay was a social realist, taking part in exhibitions protesting such injustices as homelessness and racism. Though he soon removed politics from his painting, he remained politically active and became a leader of the Artists Union, an organization of artists employed in theWorks Progress Administration(WPA). In 1938 the WPA sent him to Las Vegas, New Mexico, where he organized a gallery and set up exhibitions of work by Milton Avery, Max Weber, and other WPA artists. Back in New York, he was once arrested along with several other artists for demonstrating at WPA headquarters. When the police asked for his name, he answered with “James Picasso”. Following suit, the others called themselves after their favorite artists Manet, Czanne, Matisse, etc. Ultimately, they were all released, the police never having caught on to the deception. In 1945, Lechay came to teach at Iowa at the suggestion of his friendPhilip Guston. There he joined a group assembled by art department chairmanLester Longman. The group includedMauricio Lasansky,Humbert Albrizio,Carl Fracassini, andByron Burford, among others. Lechay remained on the art faculty till 1975, continuing to paint and exhibit his work in Iowa, New York, and around the country. In 1966 a commissioned portrait of J.W. Maucker, president of the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), brought controversy.[6]When the portrait was unveiled, many at UNI were outraged by its failure to look like a typical portrait of a college president an abstracted portrait study in shades of blue, brown, and gray. An UNI English professor, Josef Fox, suggested burning it. Controversy raged, and Lechay traveled to UNI to debate the portraits merits with Professor Fox before a large audience. His defense of the portrait, and of free expression, won over the crowd and ended the opposition. While teaching at Iowa, Lechay led summer workshops at various American art schools and at institutions in Hong Kong and Samos, Greece. Many of his students went on to distinguished careers as artists and teachers. In 1959, the builder-architect Hayden Walling, in close consultation with the Lechays, designed and built a summer home and studio for the couple in Wellfleet, MA. These are now considered important examples of domestic Cape Cod Modern architecture. The Lechays moved to Wellfleet year-round in 1972; for the next three decades Lechay showed regularly in New York, Provincetown and Wellfleet, taught privately, and painted daily. Rose Lechay died in 1995, James six years later at the age of 94. James Lechay was represented in New York by Kraushaar Galleries from 1955 to 2001, and later by the Spanierman Gallery; in Provincetown by Berta Walker Gallery; and in Wellfleet by the Cherry Stone Gallery. As of 2017, much of his work is owned by the Ashley John Gallery in Palm Beach.
