Reuben Mednikoff

Reuben Mednikoff is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Reuben Mednikoff made unsettling drawings in the 1930s that feel like visual diary entries. Two stark examples in this set are A Small Monster and Rat or Mouse, both 1936 works on paper that lean into jagged lines and odd proportions. The drawings sit between surreal doodle and raw observation, capturing shapes that wiggle on the page rather than sit still.

Tap Rat or Mouse to step closer and follow the pencil’s nervous trail straight to the creature’s twitching form.
