Misha Reznikoff was an American-Ukrainian artist noted for such pictures as The End of the Horse - Or New Deal (1934) and The Solidity of the Road to Metaphor and Memory (1935) [1]. He was born in Kiev, Ukraine, in 1905 and died in New York in 1971[1]. He was married to photographer Genevieve Naylor. From 1940 to 1943, he and Genevieve were sent to Brazil as part of the cultural wing of the Office of Inter-American Affairs [2], a program set by the Roosevelt Administration to promote American goodwill throughout Latin America. Reznikoff used techniques such as décollage and was described by Clement Greenberg as a "frail talent"[3].
