Biography
Elliot Bassman :
The following includes artist's statement and artist's resume:
Enrolled at The City College of New York, I had no problem in deciding to make studio art my primary study. I became determined to seek the best art education available.
Not only did I work with WPA artists at College, I also worked privately with Harry Shoulberg once a week at his school on 14th Street and Sixth Avenue. At that time, I began drawing and painting from the figure – under the directions of Joseph Solman and Charles Alston.
In the summer of 1971, I attended the Skowhegan School in Maine. A “cultural happening,” I was introduced to Lucas Smaras, Alex Katz and John Ashberry. I worked closely with Gabriel Laderman and Brice Marden – learning the language of art and its application.
In the summers of 1973 and 1974, I was accepted by the Woodstock Artists Association to live and work in the Jane Burr Winslow House. In 1974, I won my first prize for a landscape – juried by Ray Parker.
After City College I immediately joined the small student body at the New York Studio School. There, a thriving energy catapulted my progress. I valued the enormous support and encouragement from Philip Guston, Jack Tworkov and Mercedes Matter.
For the next two years, I set up a studio space in my first Manhattan apartment. In 1976, Columbia University welcomed me into their Master of Fine Arts Program.
My still-lifes and landscapes morphed – I painted large, nearly monochromatic abstractions. I worked closely with Bob Blackburn whose collection of prints was recently purchased by the Library of Congress- and a print of mine in Bob's private collection is among the prints now in the Library.
Upon graduation from Columbia I maintained a studio in upper Manhattan, painted many cityscapes, still lifes, portraits-on a steady basis I drew from models with Rackstraw Downes at his upper west side studio.
I started to wark part-time for the James Goodman Gallery, then located on Madison Avenue.
The experience heightened my artistic endeavors. Not only did I learn about the business of art, but also I had the unique fortune to hold up close works by 20th century masters. I frequently visited the private collections of major collectors and dealers.
I became known for my ability to install art work and I installed two exhibits for Linda McCartney and I installed Roy Lichtenstein’s first drawing retrospective.
From 1984 until 1996, I continued to work part-time – either for other galleries, private dealing, or teaching. During these years and beyond, I have exhibited in many venues: in galleries from Germany to Alaska, Sotheby’s contemporary website, White Columns Gallery, numerous Jewish Art galleries, the entire center window of Bergdorf Goodman, painted a fiberglass cow, curated and participated in severalnon-profit lower east side galleries.
Since 1997 I have painted full time in...

I am grateful to my friends, clients, collectors, and my dealers, among them Sharon Boykin and Phyllis Teplitz (now retired) who encouraged , supported and believed in my creative process.

MATTISSE, LEGER, AND LICHTENSTEIN ALL LOOKING DOWN FROM HEAVEN... AND SMILING. SOME TRULY OUTSTANDING ARTWORK.
What a lovely way to "visit" with you. Talented and gracious....what a combo!
hello elliot, just browsing thru your collection. It's marvelous I don't understand the painting of Hitler. There is nothing good about him at all zero. Why paint him? Is it to capture the time? Or for the idiots out there that still worship him. Happy Holidays!
Happy Birthday Master Elliot Bassman from your apprentice
Everything looks teriffic on the site... I think I have spotted 3 pieces to buy... I'll get in touch with you in your regular email. Things have been topsy-turvey here.
Hugs, Catherine
Had fun today. I love your blk/white work the most. You are extremely prolific. It's unbelievable how much you have done. You are a style unto yourself.
HOLY ARTWORKS BASSMAN...You have really done some groovy stuff over the years. I enjoyed seeing it all here online. I especially loved seeing the exhibit you put together for Linda McCartney. Best of everything to you Elliot,you are a gem. love and hugs, Mary Vella
Congrats Elliot........the online shows looks fantastic as I knew it would. Speak to you soon.

I was flying around on my broom searching for the tree of life (in need of a twig to stir my tea) when I happened upon this web and found herbs for the soul instead. Hi Elliot, keeping you in my thoughts...from the good witch of Poway. :)
Hi Elliot. I love the 60s "Day after New Years" picture of Nanny! (aka Ruthie) She looks so full of life in her signature pose.
Hi Elliot. The pictures of my mother are great. So nice of you to do this. Thank's so much. kevin
Your site is beautiful Elliot! (and I'm not in Iraq)
Hey Elliot, Teriffic web site. Very Very nice.
Hi Elliot, best of luck with your work. Peter.
