Sandra Kuck was expressly commissioned to create this new series "Games Children Play" for the Reco Collection. There will be four plates In this series by the same artist. Marbles is still alive and flourishing arid it is only fitting that we begin this delightful series with a game remembered by us all, dating back to times when Roman children played a similar game with polished nuts. The rules of the game have been handed down from one generation to another and many of the complexities of our society are mirrored in the game. The concentrated pose taken by the little boy expresses so vividly how much he enjoys this game especially popular in the spring and early summer. The girls are watching with bated breath - competitive, but winning is not the goal. Coming together voluntarily for a good time thus learning the joy of group play is the ultimate aim. What fun to reminisce by looking at this charming scene - recollecting the days when we were involved in a similar setting.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Sandra Kuck was born in Ohio, but most of her childhood was spent in California. She now makes her home on beautiful Long Island.
An early interest in art brought her to study fine arts at UCLA. In 1965 Sandra Kuck came to the New York area where she continued her studies and worked as a free-lance commercial artist. Early in her career Sandra Kuck began to focus on children, using various media.
To quote her feelings: 'the only subjects
I wish to paint are things which are alive. There is constant change in living things.
Each month brings new and beautiful
happenings. The colors are infinite -
however, people and children in particular, change with each minute. To paint the
changing face of a child is a most
exciting challenge".
Sandra Kuck is the mother of two children. She uses her daughter quite frequently for a model and never tires of drawing her. She observes children constantly. Their actions are animated and their emotions are on the surface which affords the opportunity to get new insights. Sandra Kuck is dedicated to her art. She loves to work and always finds new and stimulating subjects to paint.
Although she is a young woman,
she feels that painting will thrill
her to the end of her days.
Sandra Kucks paintings are represented in many galleries in the U.S. and are exclus-
ively shown at the Garden City Gallery on Long Island. Recently two of her paintings were accepted for showing by Allied Artists of America and the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Exhibit, a great honor.
