About the Item
Framed black and white female nude with chair, from John Casado, whose poignant and sculptural studies declare a deeper ambition than mere sensuality. "This is not about the obvious. It is not about sex", says the artist. "It is about unleashing visions of the subconscious mind". Casado's male and female nudes writhe with serpentine energy and yet are curiously still, almost monumental, as if they are carved from living stone.
The unique etched effect is the result of years of experimentation, using a discontinued line of high cadmium content paper, in combination with ageing litho developer. Stirred by the paintings of Frances Bacon and the beautiful abstractions of African Art - "Their transformations of figure into symbol" - Casado captures athletic figures who are always faceless, and often masked, in a deliberate step away form erotic intimacy.
John Casado’s work has exhibited alongside Man Ray and Jean-Michel Basquiat in San Francisco. His work is included in the permanent collections of New Orlean’s Museum of Art, and the Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Photography, and is collected worldwide.
The unique photograph is in pristine condition. it is professionally framed with all archival materials. The moulding is solid ebonized walnut wood — a stunning and sophisticated presentation. Frame outer dimensions are 20 3/4 x 17 inches.

- George Tooker, Paul Cadmus, Monroe Wheeler, and George Platt Lynes on a BeachLocated in London, GBSilver gelatin print, with numeric notation and stamp of collection of Jon Anderson (verso), 12cm x 18cm (41cm x 44cm framed). Jon Anderson was Paul Cadmus' partner of 35 years. The picture depicts the artists Paul Cadmus and George Tooker, the photographer, George Platt Lynes, and publisher, Monroe Wheeler. The painter Paul Cadmus (1904 - 1999) and married artists Jared (1902 - 1989) and Margaret French (1906 - 1998) comprise the photographic collaborative known by their acronym, PaJaMa. Beginning in 1937, and over the course of nearly two decades, the trio collectively staged photographs set against the backdrops of Fire Island, Provincetown, and Nantucket, among other locations. Their psychologically and sexually charged images often served as studies for the artists' subsequent paintings and works on paper. The statuesque quality of the figures and the stillness of each scenario are key characteristics of PaJaMa’s photographs...Category

- John HintonBy George DureauLocated in London, GBSilver print, signed and titled (recto), 35,5 x 28 cm (sheet size), (48cm x 42cm framed). George Valentine Dureau was an American artist whose long career was most notable for charcoal sketches and black and white photography of poor white and black athletes, dwarfs, and amputees. Robert Mapplethorpe is said to have been inspired by Dureau's amputee and dwarf photographs, which showed the figures as "exposed and vulnerable, playful and needy, complex and entirely human individuals." Some of his pieces are held at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Several of his works are displayed publicly throughout New Orleans, most notably, the pediment sculpture for Harrah's New Orleans, and his cast-bronze sculptures stand sentinel at the entrance gates of New Orleans City Park...Category
