Male Nude in Art Deco-Cubist Manner by Lenoir, 1920s

About the Item

Beautifully realized, this depiction of a male nude leaning against a rock formation shows the stylization characteristic of the Modern or Art Deco movement of the 1920s, as well as indications of fractured surfaces and tilted planes associated with Cubism. The artist was known for his Surrealist works in the late 19th century, and was associated with the mystical, religiously-saturated Salons de Rose-Croix, which was featured recently in a major exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. (Dimensions include matte and frame.)

    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Beautifully 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...
