Norbert Schlaus
Muscular Nude Women Bathers at the Seaside

About the Item

No wilting roses here, these women have six-packs. Built with broad hips and firm stomachs, leading to muscled limbs, all proudly displayed here at water’s edge, they are modern Amazons—powerful, not photogenic, and without a whisper of eroticism. German-born Norbert Schlaus (1927-2009) gravitated to a career as a painter and printmaker in his early years, following it with study at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste, in Karlsruhe between 1947 and 1953. A decade later found him settled in Oakland, California where he lived and worked for the remainder of his life. Known for his muscular, cavorting nudes, Schlaus passed away in 2009. And today, his works remain part of the Oakland Museum of California’s permanent collection.

The Red Hat oil on canvas by Moses Soyer
By Moses Soyer
Located in Hudson, NY
Realist oil painting by Moses Soyer. The artist was often quoted as saying, "My message is people." He was always looking to find who the person within was.
