"Element of Air, " Art Deco Print with Male Nude and Atlantis Theme by Avinoff
About the Item
Sensuous, finely rendered and full of mystery, this very rare signed print by Andrey Avinoff was one of several he created for "The Fall of Atlantis," a monumental and fantastical poem by George Golokhvastoff published in 1944. Each of Avinoff's images centered around a handsome, lithe nude male youth -- The Spirit of Atlantis -- shown her standing on a monumental, dark mask, with flame-engulfed bubble forms cascading down around him. The publication notes: "The Spirit of Atlantis is portrayed in the Siva posture. Over the black mask from which the Spirit emerges, arise many crystal spheres enveloped in flames, the topmost of which is the fiery orb of the Ankh." Avinoff was born in Russia and played an important role in the Czar's government, but the Communist revolution prompted him to make a new home in America. He was an artist-scientist, directing the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, becoming known around the world for his knowledge of butterflies, and creating remarkable art such as this print. (Dimensions include matte and frame; image itself is 15.5 inches high by 12 inches wide.).
