Description:
Study for Psalm 150 Dallas Tapestry.
Gouache, ink, watercolor over pencil and gold leaf on board, 1967. 750x1420 mm; 29 1/2x55 7/8 inches. Signed in gouache, lower right. Ex-collection the artist and Kennedy Galleries, New York, with the labels on the frame back.
Unlike the Psalm 150 mosaic, the project for a tapestry in Dallas is not discussed in Prescott. However, this large painting is certainly one of the more finished and larger works related to the Psalm 150 projects, cut short by Shahn's death in 1969 (see Prescott p. 197).
