Art Deco ca. 1920. Portrait Of Lady With Bob Cut, Purple Dress And Fur Collar

About the Item

Portrait Of A Young Lady From The 1920s With Bob Cut And Fur Collar Oil on canvas. Early 20th frame in wood. This portrait reveals very stylish image of a young woman from the 1920s, captured in a palette of soft cold colors. His direct and mischievous gaze seems to challenge the viewer, while a mocking smile appears on his lips. The black hair, cut in the fashion of the time with the short bob of the '20s, highlights the diaphanous skin of her face, and her purple satin evening dress, dotted with pearls, testifies to the trends of the era. The era was marked by a revolution in the behavior and style of women. From romantic and sophisticated, they become bold, independent and determined. They demand emancipation, embrace new professions, drive cars, and smoke. They abandoned tight corsets, simplified their clothes, shortened skirts, wore pants, wore flashy makeup and adopted short hair. Hairstyles from this period have distinctive features: a neck that is always open, emphasizing the feminine curve of the neck and a graceful chin. Waves are an iconic element of the style, with a part often at an angle, adding a unique touch to the image. The absence of pronounced bangs is also characteristic of the style. The frame of the work is in solid wood from the beginning of the 20th century. The technique used is oil on canvas, with the canvas applied to cardboard. The signature, located in the lower right corner, remains a mystery, still to be attributed. This portrait captures the essence of an era when women began to write a new chapter in the history of their emancipation and independence, reflecting bold changes in their attitudes and style.

  • Adriana Pincherle (1905- 1996). A lady with a turban and green shadows.
    By Adriana Pincherle
    Located in Firenze, IT
    Adriana Pincherle, (1905, Rome - 1996, Florence). A lady with a turban and green shadows in a landscape. Italian female painter, active in Rome and from 1943 in Florence. Painting signed and dated lower right: Adriana Pincherle. 1973. Oil painting on canvas. The simple composition, which represents a woman from behind, bears the influence of Matisse's avant-garde style, with bold and refined color combinations. The shape is created with color, creating an almost surreal and highly expressive effect. The painter once said: "My painting has always been figurative, not realistic. In this sense I felt very similar to the Informal movement, which, fundamentally, pushed my passion for color to the extreme." FREE SHIPPING in Italy and Europe Artist Biography: Pincherle Adriana Rome 25 December 1905 - Florence 8 January 1996 Adriana was born in Rome on 25 December 1905, into a family in which two cultures were intertwined: the Jewish one of her father, the engineer Carlo Pincherle, of Venetian origins and in love with painting, and the Catholic one of her mother, Isa di she. De Marsanich, a noble but decayed Hungarian. Adriana is the eldest child and two years older than her brother Alberto, known to the literary world under the pseudonym Alberto Moravia As Pincherle herself says about her, as a child she spent hours admiring her father who painted watercolours, and it was perhaps then that her interest in drawing and above all her particular sensitivity towards color was born. Thus, having completed her classical studies, she began to attend the "ladies" atelier of the engraver Alfredo Petrucci and the free nude courses at the Academy, where she met Mimmo Spadini and Scipione, and came into contact with Roman art. In 1931 she made her debut at the collective "First Roman exhibition of female art" at the "Galleria di Roma", while the following year, at the same gallery, she exhibited a solo show together with Corrado Cagli, already attracting the attention of critics, famous comment by Longhi, cited several times by Pincherle herself, who prefers the "sissy" between the two artists. As evidence of the results achieved by Adriana since her first works, we remember that among her works presented in 1932 there was also the famous "Standing Self-Portrait", now in the Uffizi Pincherle's growth passes through places and periods common to both the Roman School and the school of painters of the via Cavour group (Mafai, Raphaël, Scipione), with tangents and deviations, but his pictorial research arrives at original solutions independent of any label . Fundamental to the maturation of her art was her stay in Paris in 1933, in which Pincherle admired and studied closely the Fauves, Renoir and in particular Matisse. In the same year she exhibited for the first time in Florence at the Sala d'arte delle Nazioni with Milena Barilli...

Bindewald d.j., 27 Oil on canvas, 140.5 x 90.5 cm In black and gilt gesso frame. Note: Bindewald was born in Charlottenburg. He moved to Berlin in 1914 where he studied till 1924 at the Berliner Kunst Akademie. Bindewald travelled in Europe, but mainly stayed in Germany and certainly never was in China. This painting was made in Europe, presumably in the China Town of Berlin. Bindewald received several commisions in Germany from factory owners who wanted their factories painted inside, usually with workers, as well as outside. In the present painting the sitter on the right seems to be a man with a Manchurian background, wearing the brown coat reserved for the highest aristocracy in China. In China the black sleeve-ends completely cover the hands, indicating that the high aristocracy does not have to do any manuel labour. This man clearly is not a factory worker but he possibly is the (co)- owner of the factory in the background and as such might need his hands to do at least some writing. The man on the left in the modern Western suit...
