Alexander Dobkin: Born in Italy, Alexander Dobkin
moved to New York at an early age and studied at the City College of New
York and at the Art Students League, under George Bridgeman and Jose Clemente
Orozco. His first one man exhibition was held at New York's A.C.A. Gallery
in 1935. He later exhibited at such major institutions as the Museum of
Modern Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Corcoran Gallery
and the Carnegie Institute. Dobkin also illustrated a number of fine books
and taught for many years in New York at both the Educational Alliance
and at the Art Students League. Today his original paintings and lithographs
are included in the following collections; the Butler Art Institute, the
Whitney Museum of American Art, the Tel Aviv Museum, Israel, the Philadelphia
Museum of Art, the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute. |

Many of Alexander Dobkin's original lithographs deal with
one of the artist's major themes -- his masterful examinations of the
world of childhood. Confidence, like Dobkin's other fine studies, reveals
the mystery and innocence of this all too short period of one's life. |

Confidence was commissioned by the Associated American
Artists of New York in 1959. The Associated American Artists was created
in the mid 1930's and commissioned original graphic art from such great
American masters as Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh and
many others. During the 1950's and 1960's it published lithographs and
etchings by artists of no less distinction, such as, Jack Levine, Sidney
Chafetz, Marion Greenwood and Alexander Dobkin. |
