The Vampire
Located in Chicago, IL
Walter Schnackenberg’s style changed several times during his long and successful career. Having studied in Munich, the artist traveled often to Paris where he fell under the spell of the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s colorful and sensuous posters depicting theatrical and decadent subjects. Schnackenberg became a regular contributor of similar compositions to the German magazines Jugend and Simplicissimus before devoting himself to the design of stage scenery and costumes. In the artist’s theatrical work, his mastery of form, ornamentation, and Orientalism became increasingly evident. He excelled at combining fluid Art...

Seated Man
By Andy Warhol
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is arguably the most important American artist of the 20th century. He not only defined Pop Art, but had an unrivalled influence on artists and image-making.
In recent years there has been new scholarship and increasing commercial interest in his early works, material created prior to Pop Art.
During the 1950's Warhol established himself in New York City as a trendy illustrator contributing to a wide number of fashion publications and retailers. His simple line drawings were modern and gentle, with a subtle but unmistakably gay touch. In a short period of time, he created an aesthetic that was both versatile and distinctively his.
Like the consummate artist that he was, Warhol was frequently drawing. The images he created during this era, independent from his fashion commissions, were romantic, hopeful and unabashedly gay.
Taschen, the legendary art book publisher, recently released the book Andy Warhol: Love, Sex and Desire 1950-1962 which celebrates his drawings of the male form from the pre-Pop era.
This drawing is a paradigm of Warhol's mastery of line. This elegant portrait, presents the sitter with one shoulder relaxed downward (almost reminiscent of contrapposto) as he peers over it.
With the lightest touch, Warhol masterly portrays this male ideal with the details of his natural pose and the subtle eroticism of his unbuttoned trousers. Aside from the minimal details at his waistline, Warhol omitted any sign of the man's pants, adding to the air of mystery and call for imagination that this piece evokes.
As the Warhol market continues to gallop to a stratosphere beyond, there are fewer and fewer examples of unique, original works in circulation.

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.
