Abraham Walkowitz’s early 20th-century gouache painting, Volendam Holland 1906, captures an intimate domestic scene of everyday life. The mediums used are gouache paint on paper. It is signed, titled, and dated in ink (lower right), Abraham Walkowitz (American, 1878-1965). Abraham Walkowitz (1878-1965 ) is perhaps best known for his watercolor studies of Isadora Duncan and the dance. However, Walkowitz laid claim to being the first to exhibit truly Modernist paintings in the United States. After 1909, he became an intimate of Alfred Stieglitz’ 291 Gallery, and whilst there became a participant in the debate over Modern Art in America. Walkowitz was an outspoken proponent of the continuous experimentation in the arts, which was his definition of Modernism. As an artist, Walkowitz embodied the changing role of the Modernist painter in the United States, as Modernism moved from avant-garde protest against established modes to become an accepted style and tradition.
