"Claridge Tower, " Superb, Large Architectural Painting, circa 1960, Cleveland
About the Item
One of the finest midcentury architectural renderings we have ever seen, this large and vivid painting executed in gouache and oil on board was created by the Cleveland architectural firm of Richard Hawley Cutting Associates around 1960. Although the Claridge Tower may not have been built, its melding of International Style "form follows function" and the more flamboyant approach of architects like Morris Lapidus is persuasive and beautiful to our eyes today. The painting itself, by T. Marshall Rainey, is stunning and gorgeously detailed. The building's windows and balconies are precisely depicted, the mid-century automobiles -- some with fins -- make the period come alive, and the brilliant blues of the sky are vivid and joyous. The Richard Hawley Cutting firm designed the Shaker Club apartments in the late 1940s and is known to have proposed a major housing complex along the Lake Erie shoreline in the 1950s, so this building may also have been designed for a site on Lake Erie.

- "Summoned Reverie, " Superb Surrealist Painting with Nudes by Ames, 1939By Arthur AmesLocated in Philadelphia, PAPainted in soft, dreamlike colors and depicting a magical landscape of attenuated nude figures dominated by a painter and his muse, this extremely fine Surrealist work was painted by Arthur Ames in 1939. Here he used egg tempera on gesso-finished board -- a favorite medium among painters such as Paul Cadmus, Jared French and others in the 1930s, 40s and 50s -- to create a highly detailed view of an imagined landscape. Behind the central couple and the painting on its easel, there is a retreating woman in a flowing, Classical robe, and in the far distance a couple embracing on a mountain top. Ames was born in the Midwest but studied on the West Coast and became a California artist through and through; he participated in the Federal Art Project, and worked with his fiancée, Jean Goodwin...Category
