NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT KAMIL KUBIK ART OF NYPD MUSEUM PROGRAM :
$199.00

Unfortunately, I don\'t know the exact subject of this particular KAMIL KUBIK print since I was not able to discuss the subject of this serigraph with Kamil prior to his passing. Kamil was the \"Official Artist\" for a great many events and occasions in the North east and it appears that this could be some type of dedication or celebration involving the New York City Police department. You can see that the Emerald Society is involved by the drummer Kamil painted into the front part of this scene. And the Buidlings include the Post Office at Bowling Green and the NYPD POLICE MUSEUM that appears to be a main part of this entire scene. The speaker at the podium looks like Commissioner Ray Kelly.......and there are the NYPD Officers marching in formation. If you were there.....or know what this was about, I would be thrilled to know.

Kamil concentrated on the dark, deep blue colors in this Print and you can feel the activity of the marchers, speakers and everyone who is there as a member of the audience.It would be a perfect choice if you have any connection to Police Officers in New York or anywhere or are an Officer of the Law yourself. It would make a very special gift for the right person.

This is a medium sizedprint, unframed and signed in pencil by the artist.It is the perfect size for just about any home or office. Although I don\'t know the subject of the event Kamil was memorializing, you can feel the heart and soul of these people who dedicate their lives to keeping all of us safe and secure. It honors officers everywhere and will be appreciated by anyone who is a member of this incredible and honorable profession. This is something that you can simply get lost in and just enjoy the movement and colors it is offering.This one isspecial.

OurPersonal History

I metKamil over 20 years ago when I commissioned him for a project that resultedina large number ofprints for the State of New Jersey: Cape May, The Barnegat Lighthouse, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, The World Cup Soccer games at Giants Stadium, the visit from the Pope during the 90\'s including mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Newark, the Battleship New Jersey and Christmas in Cape May! These arejust some of the beautiful prints that are availablefor purchase and thatI will continue sellinguntil they are gone.Kamil\'s International work and the New Jersey projectof paintings aretruly amazing but there are countless others that would take your breath away.

Kamillived an extremely healthy, active life but passed away in 2011because of complications from a serious stroke he had unfortunately suffered about 5 years before.

Hehad beenborn in Czechoslavakia but when theCommunists seized power in 1948, he escaped to the West. After living in Germany and Australia, he traveled to the United States, arriving in SanFrancisco where hestudied with the Academy of Fine Arts and worked at the Museum of Modern Art. In 1962, he came to New York City and studied at the Art Student\'s League. He spent four years in London and Germany where his English born wife was the Prima Ballerina, dancingwith the Essen Opera House. Kamil and Joanna returned to New York in 1967 but shared time living in New Yorkwith an apartment in Washington DC as well.Kamil had developed a close relationship with the President and First Lady,George and Barbara Bush and he trulyenjoyed the world of politics. Washington DC became theperfect place for the Kubiks to spend some of their time.

Kamil\'s worldwide reputation is based on hisCityscapes and gorgeous Florals in pastels and oil. He was named The Official Artist for several USOpen Golf Tournaments and several US Open Tennis Tournaments as well.His catalogue is extensive and his works are featured in private and public collections as well as the White House. He was honored with the prestigious annual award \"NEW YORKER OF THE YEAR\" by the Bowling Green Association, a well respected Wall Street Organization. Mr. Kubnik designed both the 1991 and again the 1992 official White House Christmas Card for President and Mrs. Bush. The artist painted the Official Bicentennial of the New York Stock Exchange and in the mid 90\'s painted a great many holiday cards with a Wall Street / Financial theme. His 1972 Reader\'s Digest Cover featured the skating rink in front of the former Plaza Hotel in New York and was seen by millions. His work has been chronicled by a vast range of publications, from Business Week, which in 1976 named him an \"Outstanding Young Artist Recommended by Collectors, Curators and Dealers\"..........to the New York Times which has reviewed his work on several occasions. His stamp of the 1994 WORLD CUP SOCCER TOURNAMENT is recognizable to soccer fans and he was commissioned to do paintings for the Ritz Carlton Hotel Organization, the Breakers Hotel and the Greenbrier Country Club. Enough, I suppose, although I could go on...and on. There are several of this particular printstill available for purchase.......but since Kamil is no longer here.........once these prints are gone, there will be no more.

I am not sure of the year Kamil painted this original but my guess would be during the mid - late 90\'s. The prints are inamazing condition ....like new with noflaws, rips, tears, holes etc. It is perfect and has been signed in pencil by the artist. It is unframed and will be sent to yougently rolled in a long rectangular box, carefully packed in tissue and well protected.

This is a perfect print for anyone who has a deep love of the NYPD or Police Officers anywhere.It would make a remarkable gift for the right personand would look great anywhere.....home or office. Email any questions. I\'m always happy todiscuss Kamil and/or his art. Happy offerding.
