"Dance of the Three Nudes, " Art Deco-Mannerist Drawing w/ Male Figures, 1935
About the Item
Drawn in rich, ruddy sanguine, and with a confident, bravura hand, this depiction of three nude males -- all exaggeratedly tall and elastic-limbed -- shows the figures engaging in a kind of dance. The two figures to the right -- one facing away from the viewer and one toward -- almost seem to be in a wrestling hold, but all the figures have a placid, limpid appearance. The draftsmanship is sure and confident, and the relationship between the three figures is unusual and intriguing. The drawing dates from 1935, and is signed "Collet X," which may be a nom de plume for an artist who may have wanted to keep an arm's length distance from a work that might be seen as homoerotic.

- "Two Nudes with Columned Facade, " Art Deco Drawing w/ Male Nudes, EnglandLocated in Philadelphia, PABeautifully drawn, clearly by an important artist, this depiction of two nude male figures sitting in the foreground of a columned facade -- perhaps alluding to the Classical sculpture of ancient Greece -- is not signed, perhaps due to the subtly homoerotic nature of the scene. 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
