"Rhythm, " Design for Art Deco Folding Screen w/ Nudes, Gold, Magenta & Charcoal
About the Item
Dating to the late 1930s or early 1940s, this fabulous design -- entitled "Rhythm" -- for an Art Deco folding screen depicts several nude figures in various dance poses, in shades of pale ivory and charcoal with vivid magenta hair. They are situated amidst tree limbs on a pale sand-colored ground, probably to indicate that the screen would have used gold leaf for the background. There is a child to one side and an undulating landscape below in a palette of pumpkin, magenta and grey. The artist was Adelaide Briggs, who completed her studies at Cornell University in 1938 and went on to pursue an important and successful career as a painter. The medium is gouache on paper.
