Art Deco Oil Paining Nude with Rose

1930s

About the Item

A classic Art Deco Nude Oil Painting of a woman holding a single rose that projects beauty and serenity. A reclining nude is the essence of what is pure and natural yet also desirable and forbidden. Nude images are universal and timeless, yet the small details that let us know when it was created capture our attention. The blurred, abstracted background, in contrast with the intense detail of the model’s features and the textured pink rose she holds, is a technique often used in the 1930s. The model’s hairstyle… swept up and rolled in the front but long and loose in the back, is another hint of the time period. In those years, there was a popular fascination with the shape of a woman’s face (something that is hardly,if ever, mentioned today), but as faces were described as round, oval, or square…a “heart shape” was considered especially attractive and that is visible in the way her face has been rendered. For the past 15 years, I've been a 1stDibs Furniture dealer with Platinum status. We've always sold fine art on this “furniture" platform and have recently started selling our Art Deco Fine Art here on 1stDibs in addition to our Furniture platform. The work is signed and was purchased in Belgium, but the name is not easy to read, and our research has not yet told us anything about the artist. The value is in the style, the technique, and the age of the painting, which is well-framed and beautifully executed.

  • Lucien Charles E. Alliot French Art Deco Bronze The Gazelles 1930
    By Lucien Alliot
    Located in Oakland, CA
    Lucien Alliot French Art Deco Bronze The Gazelles 1930. The brown patina on a marble base signed on the bronze L Alliot and stamped bronze on the deer. This particular piece has exceptional rhythm where the two gazelles interplay in a movement depicting leaping over the hills or water—a very three-dimensional treatment showing the movement of the animals. Lucien Charles Eduoard Alliot (1877-1967), the sculptor, was born in 1877 Paris, France. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, was a member and the gold medal in 1920, out of competition, and was a member of the sculpture jury from 1934 to 1939. Alliot was well known for his figurative sculptures, exhibited at the Salon de Paris for many years. He received a third-place award in 1907 (which included funds for travel expenses) and a first-place award l in 1920. After he declared himself out of the artistic competition, he became a jury member at the Salon evaluating sculptural works from 1934 to 1939. Alliot created several allegorical groups, La Paix in 1939, and several religious illustrations: Sacré Cœur in 1924, La Vierge Marie...
