Alexandrovich, Albert. (b. 1904)

We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Born in Poltava, Russia (modern-day Ukraine) as Joseph Zaganchinsky, Adler immigrated to the US in 1907. Census records show him to have been a dressmaker, but obviously he seems to have painted as well. He was the father of NDG artist Fred Adler. 6 more images at FAP.

Because of its visible brush strokes, this painting is a highly impressionistic landscape of a rocky coastline meeting the sea. Here, the artist makes use of warm reds and browns to contrast the cool, refreshing quality of the ocean with the sturdy, homeliness of the Earth.

A cool colored, slightly impressionistic seascape, "Open Sea" displays the tumult and beauty of waves on the ocean juxtaposed with the serenity of passing clouds overhead. The artist uses the natural contrast between blue and white colors to evoke mixed feelings of relaxation and suspense.
