"Allegory, " Art Deco-Cubist Drawing with Multiple Nude Male Figures, circa 1920s
About the Item
Superbly conceived and executed, this Cubist-influenced Art Deco drawing shows four nude male figures, three below in various stages of surprise and exclamation, and a Christ-like figure above, gesturing to them in peace. The scene may be a modern day allusion to several Biblical stories of the risen Christ appearing to his followers, including on the road to Emmaus. All four figures have a Modern, stylized appearance, and the trees and landscapes behind them are fractured and abstracted in the Cubist manner. The drawing is signed with the artist's monogram in the lower right corner, but the name is difficult to discern.

The two figures have the solidity and gravity of high style Art Deco art, and may represent the academic, early work of a great master such as Glyn Philpot or John Craxton...Category
