Georges Lepape
Art Deco Theatre Costume Design with Greek Mythological Figures

1920

About the Item

With stylistic confidence, French Artist Georges Lepape created three highly inventive and masterfully imaginative Art Deco figures based on Ancient Greek history. The work was for a theatrical presentation and featured three characters: Éthea, Philigra, and Ops. Each figure was designed to have a distinct visual identity yet still relate to the other figures as a group. They are presented on the page as if lined up on a stage with a seamless background. Text describing them is penciled in below, reflecting avant-garde theatrical aesthetics of the Art et Action movement. Signed lower left and inscribed on verso. Presented in a two-tone stepped wooden rectangular frame. Framed size 30.5 x 22.63 Toning and surface issues commensurate with age.

BMW Isetta, Messerschmitt Cars Autobahn - Humorous Mid-Century Illustration
Located in Miami, FL
One of the hallmarks of great art is recognizing the artist's style instantly. This is the case with Richard Erdoes. His highly stylized comic figures are expressive and communicate the story delightfully and joyfully. Even though this work is rendered in flat, minimalistic two colors, the inventive shape relationships and positive and negative areas convey a very high level of artistic skill. The present work was done on assignment for the prestigious Standard Oil ( Exxon's predecessor ) corporation's company magazine, The Lamp. Although not a newstand magazine, The Lamp had the highest editional and artistic content. Work is unsigned and unframed. Richard Erdoes (Hungarian Erdős, German Erdös; July 7, 1912 – July 16, 2008) was an American artist, photographer, illustrator and author. Early life Erdoes was born in Frankfurt,to Maria Josefa Schrom on July 7, 1912. His father, Richárd Erdős Sr., was a Jewish Hungarian...
