Andre Delfau
Born in Paris, France in 1914, Andre Delfau was an acclaimed stage, set, and costume designer. His career spanned from the 1930s to the 1980s, with international recognition. In addition to his design work, Delfau pursued his passion for painting, known for its vibrant colors, keen use of line, and influences from Cubism and Surrealism. He collaborated with renowned fashion houses such as Balmain, Jean Patou, and Balenciaga, while creating sets and costumes for prominent opera and ballet productions worldwide. Notably, he designed the elaborate stage sets and costumes for the 1986 PBS television production of "Die Fledermaus." Delfau resided in Paris and Chicago, frequently drawing inspiration from his travels to Morocco, particularly the Jemaa el-Fna market in Marrakesh. In his later years, he married Chicago ballet impresario Ruth Page. Andre Delfau passed away in Chicago in 2000 at the age of 86.

- Untitled (Fishermen and Sailboat)Located in Chicago, ILA charming Modernist watercolor by notable artist Flora Schofield, depicting fishermen and a sail boat. Archivally matted to 16" x 20". A painter, print maker and sculptor, Flora Schofield (Schoenfield), was born in Lanark, Illinois. She studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and taught Saturday classes there until 1904. Schoenfield also studied with Charles Hawthorne, B.J.O Nordfeldt and William Zorach in Provincetown, Massachusetts. She studied with Albert Gleizes, Fernand Leger and Natalia Goncharova in Paris, France. In 1923, Schofield’s abstractions caused a split at the venerable Chicago Society of Artists. When her artwork was was accepted by the jury, the notable Impressionist painter Pauline Palmer and the notable Modernist painter Carl Hoeckner got into a row that ended-up splitting the group. The Impressionists then broke away into their own organization called the ”Association of Chicago Painters and Sculptors”. Paintings by Flora Schofield have been exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia; the Salon d’Automne and Salon de Independants, Paris; the Salons of America; the Society of Independent Artists, New York; the Wichita Museum of Art, Wichita; Gallery Carmine, Paris; the National Arts Club Galleries, New York; Marshall Fields Galleries...Category
