"Siamese Twins, " Fabulous Art Deco Portrait with Siamese Cat and Female Figure
About the Item
The artist behind this striking and original Art Deco portrait -- Agnes Tait -- is clearly emphasizing the parallels between a female figure and her Siamese cat, both shown with heavily-shadowed blue eyes and short, dark hair, the feline crouching familiarly on the shoulder of her companion. Because Tait painted a series of portraits for Florenz Ziegfeld of the young women who performed in the Ziegfeld Follies in 1932, it's possible that the figure here was one of her subjects. The woman is wearing an elegant black gown that bares her upper chest, and the background is a lovely shade of reddish purple. Tait was a native New Yorker, studying in her youth at the National Academy of Design under Leon Kroll and others, before becoming a WPA painter in the 1930s. She painted a series of tropical scenes for the United Fruit Company in the 1930s, and in 1941, after marrying William McNulty, moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico and lived there for many years. This painting is oil on Masonite, and retains its original frame. (Dimensions include matte and frame; painting itself is 16 inches high by 14 inches wide.)
