"Striding Nude, " Bold Art Deco Drawing with Watercolor by Lovet-Lorski

About the Item

Quintessentially Art Deco, with long, lean lines and a highly stylized nude, this drawing was executed by Boris Lovet-Lorski in Paris, before he settled in America at the age of 26. Born in Lithuania and educated in Russia, the artist created sculptures, drawings and lithographs featuring tall, hyper-slender female and male figures. This drawing in crayon and watercolor in a lovely shade of blue, offers an especially iconic depiction of the stylized Art Deco nude, high-stepping and arch. (Dimensions include matte and frame; visible area of drawing is 15" high by 7.75" wide.)

  • "Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by Klimt
    By Erwin Stolz
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Bold and atmospheric, this ink drawing depicts a kneeling nude male figure, his bow arched and his arrow ready to spring forward, surrounded by a flower-bedecked landscape that clearly draws its inspiration from Gustav Klimt's work. To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...

  • "Two Nudes with Columned Facade, " Art Deco Drawing w/ Male Nudes, England
    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...
