"Nude with Bowl of Fruit, " Art Deco Painting in Shades of Purple and Orange
About the Item
Absolutely lovely, almost translucent in its use of color -- as if painted on glass or silk -- this very rare gouache painting was created by William Hentschel, one of the master artists at the famed Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati. Here he depicts a diaphanous female nude, in tones of blue gray, flanked by a stylized Art Deco flowering plant to one side, and a vivid bowl of grapes, pear and pumpkin to the other. Hentschel mastered this particular form of painting, which involved airbrushing gouache on paper, and this may be the best example we have ever seen. (Dimensions include matte and frame.)

- "Satyr and Nymph", Art Deco Masterpiece Painting with Nudes in Paradise, 1932Located in Philadelphia, PAOne of the most sensual and brilliant Art Deco paintings in the French manner that we have ever offered, this idyllic scene of Satyr and Nymph, lounging under a fruited tree with lush fields in the distance, was painted by Gheorghe Labin in 1932. Labin was one of Romania's avant-garde artists in the 1920s and 1930s, and clearly he trained in Paris, because the lush scene, brilliant palette, and confident brush strokes indicate an intimate familiarity with the leading painters associated with what we now call Art Deco. This painting was entered into the Salon Bucarest in 1932, in a period when Labin exhibited with Mattis Teutsch, the de facto leader of Romania's modern painters, together with Corneliu Baba...Category
