"Plowing in Carthage, " Tunisian Landscape with Roman Columns in Blue & Brick Red

About the Item

Highly atmospheric and richly colored, this 1929 vintage landscape by a Swedish painter depicts layers of history and tradition, from the man in traditional Arab garb plowing the fields with his ox in the foreground, to broken Roman columns in mid-range, to an arched structure and a seascape in the background, all painted with a modern sensibility redolent of the Art Deco era. The painter was Ewald Dahlskog, who was famous in several media, including intarsia (inlaid wood patterns), glass, ceramics and murals, including "The Sower" painted on one of the ceilings of Stockholm's famous City Hall, a bank in Paris, and interiors for a cruise ship commissioned by Swedish America Line. Dahlskog also traveled the world, and here he shows an ability to capture the color, heat and mood of an ancient settlement amidst a striking landscape along the Mediterranean. The painting is oil on canvas, and is signed and dated.

  • "Plowing at Sunrise, " Art Deco Paean to the Black Farmer, 1930s
    By Willis Lohse
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Beautifully conceived, dramatically set and very finely painted, this gouache and ink painting by Willis R. Lohse is a paean to the hard work and nobility of the black farmer in America, hat in hand as he marvels at the beauty of the day. Full of lovely colors -- lemon yellow, cerulean and fresh green -- Lohse captures a lovely moment where the farmer pauses to look upward, amidst sprays of birch trees and expanses of rolling fields. Lohse was a German-American artist who is best known for his illustrations for fiction and fantasy books published between the 1920s and 1950s, including "The Boy Who Found the King," "Raff, the Jungle Bird...
