"Half Nude Man at Rest, " Important Drawing of Black Worker by De Erdelyi
About the Item
A Fine and important depiction of an African American worker, one of the artist's favorite subjects, this drawing by Francis De Erdelyi gives a hint of his important influence on a generation of California artists in the 1940s and 1950s. De Erdelyi was born in Hungary and worked across Europe before fleeing the Nazis, which ultimately took him to Los Angeles. There he focused on the plight of the working man, using a wide range of media, including paint, ink, crayon and, as here, charcoal. The artist emphasizes the massive arms and hands of his subject, though the man's head is bent over, perhaps in exhaustion or injury. It is not clear if he is leaning on a farm tool or a cane.

- "Seated Man, Two Positions", Drawing of Half-Nude Male Figure by Ulen, 1930sBy Paul UlenLocated in Philadelphia, PABeautifully and sensitively drawn by Paul Ulen, this single sheet includes two images of a half-nude male figure, seated and reclining, wearing loose worker pants and sporting a fashionable 1930s haircut. In each case, the figure's strong, muscular body is expressed in tones of light and shadow, confidently drawn in pencil. The gridded background suggests that the figures were studies for a larger wall mural, and indeed, a major mural-esque painting by Ulen, "Bricklayer at Rest," perhaps depicting the same model, is also available from Renaissance Man Antiques...Category
