Featured I NEED HELP PLEASE! IDENTIFYING THIS WOODCUT...

Size of art is : 32 x 24..
I tried the name Nischa Scanlotta 1969 and nothing comes up.

Thank You, in advance...........

 

Last name could be Scarletta. Guessing notation indicates artist's proof.

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

 

Depicts the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse - I'm assuming...

 

I think probably Mischa Scandella - sig matches here:

Not sure if same person who is listed as IMDB as a film production designer but wouldn't be surprised:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2153412/


Additional EDIT - the first link above in Italian describes it as artwork for a scene from "le baruffe chiozotte" which was/is an Italian play but was produced as a movie for Italian TV in the 60's - so I'm thinking it is the same person.

Also, I really like the print - I cleaned up the image a little and straightened it out:

 

A translated link of possible interest (plus, I believe artist is a "he"): https://translate.google.com/transl...oravox.it/L-Archivio-di-Mischa-Scandella.html

 

Yes, Mischa is normally a man's name. (I also notice in your translated link it refers to his wife.)

 

Good work, aaron!

In the for what it's worth category - 1) this does not look at all like a "woodcut." 2) all those little yellowish brown spots look like foxing to me. But are they on the paper or on the glass (which would not be foxing of course) ?

 

short for Michail in several Slavic languages

 

Agree - doesn't look like a woodcut.

 

Thank You all for the help & information.
I glady & truly appreciate the effort.
I think that there should be a way to compensate members on this forum for the help they give us. Such as establishing some type of funding as a donation to the site.

I think the image looks like a litho. Look at the edge impression, it looks like the shape of a litho stone.
