Circa 1945
About the Item
This elegant Art Deco oil painting on canvas was realized in Sweden, circa 1945. It presents a stylized nude man crouching against a sea of abstract forms in tones of forest green, midnight blue and cornflower. The figure's posture loosely recalls the thinker, while his physicality (especially his pronounced musculature) recalls an interpretation of Atlas. Regardless of one's interpretation of the piece, it is a visually arresting painting with a sophisticated palate that demonstrates a masterly command of the medium. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Art Deco to contemporary. It comes presented in a channeled and gilded custom gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition.

- Romanticist Oil on Burlap Painting of a Nude Male Figure Bathing in a RiverLocated in New York, NYThis elegant romanticist oil on burlap painting was realized by an unheralded master during the first part of the 20th century. Realized in tight, yet expressionistic brush strokes, the painting depicts a nude male figure in the foreground with his back turned towards the viewer. The man has one knee raised (perhaps grounded on a boulder) and an arm extended into the abstract background whose frenetic white stroked and blocks of mossy greens suggests a frothing river. He sits on a large river stone in a rich olive hue clutching a white towel in his right hand that supports the weight of his body. The figure's torqued position serves to highlight his muscular physique- whose ideal proportions recalls classical Greek sculpture. In the bottom right portion of the composition, there is an abstracted form in a sumptuous brick red that offers an understated pop of color that provides a dynamic contrast to the flesh tones, organic greens and flaxen hues of the figure's hair. Masterfully painted in a sophisticated palate, this painting would be a winning addition to any style of interior from traditional to contemporary, and is sure to be appreciated by connoisseurs of classical art and homoerotic art...Category
