  • Scheherazade Arabian Nights - Gustaf Tenggren Attrib.
    By Gustaf Tenggren
    Located in Miami, FL
    This masterfully designed and graphic interpretation of the Arabian Nights saga features a beautiful Scheherazade lost in thought and among the flowers. Gustaf Tenggren (American 1896-1970) Attributed - We are not certain if Tenggren did this work. There is stylistic evidence to support Tenggren. It's the brilliance factor of how he assembles all the elements of the work and composes it into a cogent and readable form. This says Tenggen. As a former New York advertising agency art director I have seen artists work in different styles. Usually this is not the case but great artist can do it. Their styles can change but the brilliance remains. Stylistically, it could be Robert Riggs another art genius.
