Cornelia Loring Brooks"Large Standing Nude" - Cordelia Brooks, Harvard Class of 1889, Paris Salon1930's
1930's
About the Item
This large and arresting oil on canvas is what I believe must have been one of a pair, with a male nude of exactly the same size and style by the artist that sold at Coletti Gallery many years back (priced at $9,000 - see photos; female nudes are more in demand and typically command higher prices, by the way). At any rate, I probably don't need to tell you how remarkably wonderful this painting is - probably my favorite of the 250 or so artworks I currently hold. She is just absolutely exquisite. And what I love most is that despite the classical rendering, she remains a distinct person, not completely idealized, but with character in her face; perfection is not beauty. The artist, Cordelia Loring Brooks, was in the Harvard Class of 1899. She was awarded a traveling scholarship by the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and was at one point exhibited in the Annual Spring Exhibition of the Paris Salon. Framed in an elaborate and expensive gilt frame. A few very expert repairs that do not show a trace on the front.
Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.
About the Artist
Cordelia Loring Brooks graduated from Harvard University in the Class of 1889, when women had not long been admitted there. In 1932, she was awarded a traveling scholarship by the Boston Museum of Fine Art. One of her paintings was accepted for the annual exhibition of the Paris Salon, a huge honor during any period. Her paintings are vanishingly rare on the market.
