The painting measures 29.25 by 35.5 inches with the frame and shows the artist's husband, David McCosh (also a painter) reading a book while sitting on a Navajo weaving. The piece is published in the book "Painting the American Scene: American Art of the Thirties and Forties" by Arthur D. Hittner, copyright 2008. Copy of pages from the book accompany painting. Inscription states "Born in Connecticut of Czechoslovakian parents, Anne Kutka received her formal art education from Kenneth Hayes Miller, Kimon Nicolaides and Eugene Fitsch at teh Art Students League in New York City in the 1920s. She won two consecutive Tiffany Foundation scholarships and three traveling scholarships sponsored by the Gladys Roosevelt Dick (GRD) Studio Gallery in New York City, which she also managed. She met her future husband, the artist David McCosh (1903-1980), while painting at the Tiffany Foundation's Oyster Bay retreat. After marrying in 1934, the couple moved to Eugene, Oregon where David McCosh had received a teaching appointment at the University of Oregon. The artist (who generally painted under her maiden name) lived and worked in Eugene for most of the rest of her life, producing and exhibiting extensively throughout the United States. Among her exhibition credits are the Salons of America; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; the Seattle, Portland, Denver and Tacoma Art Museums; Art Institute of Chicago; Metropolitan Museum of Art and the University of Oregon Museum of Art. "David Reading on the Couch," a charmingly casual portrait of her husband painted in a realist style reminiscent of the work of Kenneth Hayes Miller, exemplifies the "East Coast urban vision and wit" which Kutka brought to the comparatively sleepy art world of the Pacific Northwest of the Thirties."
