Russian-born Gussow was trained at both the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design; in addition he studied under Bonnat at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first claim to fame seems to have been exhibiting two works at the Armory Show in 1913. He exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists between 1917 and 1934 and at Salons of America in the 1930s. By the mid 1930s Gussow stopped exhibiting. By that time, he had moved from abstract compositions to recognizable urban subjects. The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Barnes Foundation and the Museum of Modern Art also have his paintings. Gussow even participated in the Federal Art Project, contributing a post office mural (Recreation Hours) in East Rochester, NY. Here are seven black/white charcoal drawings about 23" x 14". Drawing one has tape along bottom edge and slight soiling; others appear ok. Paper covers heavily taped, creased, closed tears, missing rear flap, from the collection of the Rabin & Krueger Gallery in Newark, NJ, date is a guess. Rare.
