Kashmir Male: Which? (No. 12)
These incredibly rare and precious paintings, dated to around 1915 B.C.E., are widely believed to be the first abstract art ever created. Found preserved in a cave in the foothills of the Himalayas, we know the where and the when. But not the who, other than knowing, thanks to ideographic inscriptions, that they were created by a man. So for the identity of this artistic giant, we are left to ask: Kashmir Male: Which?
Artist: Unknown (discovered by Bryant Rousseau)
Paint on 8” x 11” heavy paper; signed; matted and framed (11” x 14” wooden frame)

Legalese/disclaimer/saying the obvious out loud: These works were actually created by Bryant Rousseau in the 21st century. Any resemblance to the work of a Russian constructivist is purely intentional.
