Charles Perry WeimerWaldorf Astoria Art Deco Illustration 1932
1932
About the Item
Artist Charles Perry Weimer employs thin black horizontal lines that intersect with thin black vertical lines. The result is a triumph of design where the highly stylized pulsating image of the new Waldorf Astoria emerges from an abstract background.
Great art is not always done by famous artists. This is a prime example. A lesser-known but brilliant artist did it with a distinctive graphic style. Looking at the work, the viewer has to ask himself, "how did he do this and get it right?" It was most likely done on assignment for a newspaper or magazine. The Waldorf Astoria New York is an Art Deco landmark and icon of glamour and luxury. On it's opening in 1931, it was t was the tallest and largest hotel in the world at the time, covering the entire block. It's distinctive Art Deco look was celebrated in all media at the time, including postcards. Signed lower right—overall good condition. The diagonal stuff in the lower right quadrant has received some conservation and is most visible under raking light.

- Early 19th Century English watercolour of woodland near Croxdale HallLocated in Harkstead, GBA very attractive and meticulously executed view of a rocky landscape within the woods dating to 1823. This would suit a library or study with its muted tones and skifull draughtsmanship. William Nicholson (1781-1844) Near Croxdale Hall Signed with initials and inscribed with title and date 1823 Pen, ink and grey wash 11 x 8 inches, image only 17 x 13 inches without frame The portrait-painter and etcher William Nicholson was born in Ovingham-on-Tyne, Northumberland, on Christmas Day 1781. His family transferred to Newcastle when his father was appointed Headmaster of the city's Grammar School. At an early age, though, Nicholson appears to have moved to Hull where he made his artistic debut, painting miniatures of officers garrisoned there. He was almost entirely self-taught, learning his craft through the close study of artworks in private and public galleries. He subsequently returned to Newcastle where he received many commissions to paint portraits of the old families of Northumberland. In 1808, he began to exhibit at the Royal Academy, continuing to do so until 1822. By 1814, Nicholson, whose mother was a Scot, had moved to Edinburgh where he set up as a miniaturist and painter in oils. Soon, however, he began to specialize in watercolour portraits. Early subjects included the actor Daniel Terry and the poet and novelist James Hogg. In 1818 he began to publish a series of Portraits of Eminent Scotsmen, etched from his own portraits and those of other painters. Besides Scott and Hogg, the subjects included the writers Robert Burns, John Wilson ('Christopher North'), and Lord Jeffrey, the painters Sir Henry Raeburn, the divines Alexander Carlyle and Alexander Cameron, the engineer James Watt, the architect John Playfair, and the song-collector and composer George Thomson...Category
