Arabian Nights - Guard and Sitting King - Islamic Golden Age - Gustaf Tenggren1957
1957
About the Item
One Thousand and One Nights - It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights. What is notable about this work is how magnificently composed, designed, and rendered it is. Its light-filled formal composition is based on a vertical and horizontal axis. It features in the foreground, a cropped close-up of a guard at attention with spear and shield at the ready. Behind him, we see a king sitting on a pedestal flanked by two servants. The work is unsigned and was commissioned by Random House in 1957. It is possible that it was for international distribution. We are assigning it as Gustaf Tenggren attributed. Tenggren was a versatile artist who worked in several different styles— Gouache on heavy illustration board, Printer marks in margin, unframed. Board measures, 9.5 x 10.5

Tales of the Arabian Nights with Flying Carpet - Random House Gustaf Tenggren
By Gustaf Tenggren
Located in Miami, FL
Gustaf Tenggren- Attributed This masterfully designed and graphic interpretation of the Arabian Nights saga features a monumental figural profile while small figures float above on a magic carpet. 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.
