"Nude Bather, Dominican Republic, " 1930s Tropical Scene Watercolor
About the Item
Painted by Wilmot Heitland, one of America's great watercolorists in the 1930s, this sun-drenched depiction of a native Dominican, nude and stepping toward a pool of water, captures the lush tropical locale with great color and texture. The bright sun, which is bleaching the bather's hat and clothing in the lower left hand corner, contrasts with areas of deep shadow and bright foliage. When he wasn't painting High Society scenes for the illustrations he did for countless magazines in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, Heitland loved to capture the natives, as he does here, in tropical locales such as Hawaii and the Dominican Republic. (Dimensions include matte).

- "Five Josephs, " Important Art Deco Painting w/ Male Nudes, Provincetown, 1930sBy William L'EngleLocated in Philadelphia, PAAn extraordinary example of Art Deco painting with allegorical meaning -- like so many murals painted in the 1920s and 1930s -- this large work by William L'Engle depicts five nude male figures laboring in the field, symbolizing life in Provincetown, Massachusetts. A Black male figure in the foreground is planting crops, while two other figures in the distance are pulling a rope, perhaps alluding to fishing boats tied up at the dock, while another nude seems to be sinking into sleep beneath a pier -- all with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the background. L'Engle called this "The Five Josephs," perhaps referring to Joseph of Arimathea and other figures in the New Testament. William L'Engle was a towering figure in the Provincetown art colony, and was extremely well connected with America's artistic elite, starting with his trip to Europe as a young man with Waldo Pierce and George Biddle. Over time, William and his life Lucy became close to a wide range of important figures in painting, theater and the arts, including Charles Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neill, Gerrit Beneker, John Dos Passos, Edmund Wilson and Mary McCarthy, William and Marguerite Zorach, Edna St. Vincent-Millay, Charles Demuth, Childe Hassam, George Biddle, Edwin Dickinson...Category

FRANCESCO GALANTE Born in Margherita di Savoia He soon moved to Naples where he attended the institute of fine arts. He was a pupil of Michele Cammarano and Vincenzo Volpe and student, collaborated with various Neapolitan newspapers as an illustrator. Even in his painting activity, which he started in parallel with his graphic work, Francesco Galante. However, this tendency soon came to coexist with a substantial predilection for an intimism of atmospheres, themes and decorative cues. Francesco Galante's culture in these years did not differ from that common to many artists of his generation, variously oriented toward modernist currents in the search for greater autonomy from the traditional environment. Already present since 1904 at the exhibitions of the Promotrice Salvator Rosa in Naples, in 1909 he joined the "Secessione dei ventitré "With these of Francesco Galante he organized I' Esposizione giovanile in Naples.

In the capital, the artist returned two years later to participate in the I Roman Secession Exhibition and where he was engaged to decorate the pavilion of Campania, Basilicata and Calabria at the Ethnographic Exhibition in Rome. Francesco Galante began at this time to distance himself from the Secessionist movement, aligning himself with more traditionalist positions. After the wartime interlude spent at the front, he resumed his exhibition activity in 1919 (International Exhibition in Turin and I Mostra "La Floridiana" in Naples). In 1921 he took part in Naples in the Mostra d'arte dei grigio-verdi and in the I Biennale nazionale d'arte, and a few years later followed the Novecen Francesco Galante continued, meanwhile, a lively exhibition activity, participating, among other things, in the Novecento exhibitions set up by Margherita Sarfatti...Category
