About the Item
This lovely Art Deco Woodcut of Swimmer W/ Sailboats is by an Unknown artist, signed "WB" and originates from the United States, Circa 1930. Features a slender vertical rectangular composition with a standing male figure adorned in a bathing suit who appears to be standing on a dock before an expanse of water with sailboats floating alongside his head and shoulders in the background. A woodcut print, this piece utilizes carved lines with hatch work and high contrast of light and dark forms depicting the subject matter, particularly effective at defining the musculature and form of the figure while the background of water peaks through, depicted largely via the white negative space surrounding the man, creating the illusion of bright light reflecting from the water and enveloping the space. The frame in ebonized walnut is highly geometric and tiered, utilizing the geometry to round the form and add material intrigue, connecting to the bold and gestural lines of the print. This piece will style beautifully in a wide array of settings and spaces, from Art Deco to Mid-Century Modernist and Contemporary Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition.

- Romanticist Oil on Burlap Painting of a Nude Male Figure Bathing in a RiverLocated in New York, NYThis elegant romanticist oil on burlap painting was realized by an unheralded master during the first part of the 20th century. Realized in tight, yet expressionistic brush strokes, the painting depicts a nude male figure in the foreground with his back turned towards the viewer. The man has one knee raised (perhaps grounded on a boulder) and an arm extended into the abstract background whose frenetic white stroked and blocks of mossy greens suggests a frothing river. He sits on a large river stone in a rich olive hue clutching a white towel in his right hand that supports the weight of his body. The figure's torqued position serves to highlight his muscular physique- whose ideal proportions recalls classical Greek sculpture. In the bottom right portion of the composition, there is an abstracted form in a sumptuous brick red that offers an understated pop of color that provides a dynamic contrast to the flesh tones, organic greens and flaxen hues of the figure's hair. Masterfully painted in a sophisticated palate, this painting would be a winning addition to any style of interior from traditional to contemporary, and is sure to be appreciated by connoisseurs of classical art and homoerotic art...Category
