Paul Cadmus
Teddo

1985

About the Item

This refined work on paper, entitled "Teddo" was produced by the celebrated American artist Paul Cadmus (1901-1999) in 1985. It features a nude male figure with tightly cropped hair sitting on a floor with his feet pressed against the wall in front of him and his hands on the floor. Rendered in a style all Cadmus' own- recalling both mannerism and neue sachlichkeit- the work highlights the well defined musculature of the subject through loose, expressionistic markings. With its classical figurative form and monochromatic palate, this piece would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classical to contemporary. It comes presented in a custom white gilt gallery frame and is in excellent condition. An example of this print, from a small edition of 200, is also in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C. The work is signed in the lower right, and titled and numbered "191/200" in the lower left. Excellent condition. Cadmus, considered to be a master draftsman, was influenced in the Italian Renaissance artists, particularly Signorelli and Mantegna, the so-called "masters of muscle", the American painter Reginald Marsh among others. His work is part of the many private and institutional collections around the world including the Whitney Museum of American Art and The Metropolitan Museum in New York City.

  • DeVilbiss Purfume Art Deco Poster by George Petty for the A.C. Schultz Company
    Located in New York, NY
    This beautiful Art Deco poster was realized by the esteemed American Artist George Petty for the A.C. Schultz Company in 1926. The work is an advertisement for DeVilbiss Perfume, which depicts a "Petty Girl" (as they came to be known) in the center of the composition floating in a pentagonal black color block. With short cropped silvery white hair and red lipstick, the female figure in center (suggestive of a stylized flapper) squeezes the atomizer of her perfume bottle misting herself in fragrance. Skyscraper style geometric forms suggesting elaborately faceted gemstones- in hues of rose, lavender, orange sapphire and yellow diamond- explode around her, suggesting the stage design for the set of the iconic film "Metropolis". The top of the composition features a bronze color block reading "DeVilbiss Perfume sprays" and in scrolling Deco lettering text reads “A drop of perfume bursting into myriad atoms of fragrance makes the use of perfume an added delight” near the bottom of the piece. Additionally, there is a solid black color block with crystalline black forms emanating outwards at the base of the composition, as well as a geometric abstract form on the right side of the piece imbuing it with a distinctly modernist inflection. With its quintessentially Art Deco sensibility, this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of the period as well as those with a distinct appreciation for unusual (and stunning) fine art pieces. its vibrant palate and clean modernist lines make this piece a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Deco to contemporary. The piece comes presented in a custom gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. George Petty was an American illustrator known for his series of pin-ups known as "Petty Girls" which he created for Esquire magazine. The Petty Girl were coquettish women whose legs were elongated to create idealized female forms. They were featured on magazine centerfolds, billboards, and calendars for companies such as Ridgid Tools. Born George Brown Petty IV on April 27, 1894 in Abbeville, LA, Petty received his formal training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago under Ruth Van Sickle Ford...
