"Satyr and Nymph, " Gorgeous Art Deco Ballet Scene, Painting on Silk

About the Item

Beautifully painted in fresh, lovely colors on silk, this depiction of nymph and satyr, clothed in gauzy costumes like a scene from a Ballets Russes production, was painted by Stephen Haweis in the 1920s or 30s. The painter was born in London and later settled in New York, painting urban scenes, landscapes and the occasional high-style Art Deco allegorical piece. Here, he sets his two dancers in a lush landscape filled with flowering trees and delicate colors, the nymph to the left clearly in the midst of Spring, the satyr to the right in the heart of Autumn. The painting is laid out in a fan shape like some exotic souvenir from East Asia; the medium is watercolor on a lovely piece of very fine silk. (Dimensions include matte and frame; fan image is 11 inches high by 21.5 inches wide.)

  • "Satyr and Nymph", Art Deco Masterpiece Painting with Nudes in Paradise, 1932
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    One of the most sensual and brilliant Art Deco paintings in the French manner that we have ever offered, this idyllic scene of Satyr and Nymph, lounging under a fruited tree with lush fields in the distance, was painted by Gheorghe Labin in 1932. Labin was one of Romania's avant-garde artists in the 1920s and 1930s, and clearly he trained in Paris, because the lush scene, brilliant palette, and confident brush strokes indicate an intimate familiarity with the leading painters associated with what we now call Art Deco. This painting was entered into the Salon Bucarest in 1932, in a period when Labin exhibited with Mattis Teutsch, the de facto leader of Romania's modern painters, together with Corneliu Baba...
