His parents were seeking the American dream and five years later Jacob was in Brooklyn, NY. He became a member of the Brooklyn society of artists and in the late 30s and 40s exhibited at their shows. During this period, many works were created of Brooklyn and the New York area. He served his country in the army in WWII and painted many watercolors of the American Southwest. After the war he embraced abstract art and developed a friendship with James Johnson Sweeney, the 2nd director of the Guggenheim Museum (1952-1960).Semiatin's first one-man show was at the Contemporary Arts Gallery in New York, the same site where artist Mark Rothko was introduced.Other prominent shows include:-The Galerie Internationale, New York, NY-The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, Ny-The Glass Gallery, New York, NY-The Ariel Gallery, New York, NYPermanent collections include:-The Houston Museum of Modern Art-The Jewish Museum, Dublin, Ireland-Ted Turner-William Clinton LibraryThe paintings we are selling from this collection are watercolors and oils on paper and canvas from the 1930s through the 1990s.
