"Nudes with Guitars", Mid Century Painting w/ Male Nudes by Christopher Clark

About the Item

Beautifully painted in tones of ruddy-burnt sienna, gray and white, this unusual painting by Christopher Clark depicts two nude guitarists -- or perhaps a single guitarist in two positions. The entire painting is gridded in white, perhaps indicating that it was the basis for a wall mural. The artist is best known for his Art Deco paintings, and indeed he worked with Donald Deskey to paint murals for Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Clark painted WPA murals in the 1930s, did illustration art for Forbes magazine, and ultimately settled down on the west coast of Florida to teach and paint. He was especially interested in the male figure, and painted portraits and nudes throughout his career.

  • Original Bernard Damiano Mid-Century Painting Nudes
    By Bernard Damiano
    Located in Miami, FL
    Original expressionist painting by Bernardo Damiano (also known as Bernard Damiano). He was an Italian expressionist painter and sculptor born on January 10, 1926 in Coni (Piemonte), Italy and died in Nice, France on June 24, 2000. His classical art formation was at the Academia Albertina in Turino, Italy. His works are numerous and well known. It is precisely during the 1970s that Bernard Damiano's painting is said to have moved away from a relationship with Jean Dubuffet, the Art brut or the Cobra movement, in "a nervous touch and a triturated paste" to draw his style from the rest of Expressionism. This proposal is however stated with reserve: like the Spanish Eduardo Pisano...
