"Father, Son and Daughter, " Rare and Charming Bronze Relief Sculpture by Zorach
By William Zorach
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully sculpted and realized in bronze with a warm, deep brown patina, this relief panel by William Zorach depicts a father directly facing the viewer, embracing his son and daughter who are both engrossed in the care of a long-tailed bird. Zorach was renowned for his sculptures of the American family in different configurations, and he also loved depicting the house cat in different poses, all of which gave evidence of his love of domestic life in the 1930s. The artist was born in Lithuania, grew up in Cleveland, and spent much of his life in New England with his wife, Marguerite Zorach, an important artist in her own right. Although Zorach was a painter as well as a sculptor, he may be best known for a large female nude...

"Nudes in Paradise, " Spectacular Wall Charger, High Style Art Deco by Sevres
By Jean Beaumont
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most spectacular high style Art Deco pieces we have ever offered, this large wall charger depicting two female nudes and a deer in an idyllic, color-drenched garden was made in 1927 by the famed Sevres porcelain manufactory in France. The designer was Jean Beaumont, who is known for designing some of the most ambitious and striking of Sevres' Art Deco vases and other pieces in the 1920s and 30s, and the ceramic artist who applied the glazes was Adrien-Auguste Leduc, who worked at Sèvres from 1923 until 1948. Made only two years after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes was held in Paris, which gave the Art Deco style its name many years later, the theme of this charger -- and its stylized, elongated nudes...

Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully realized in sanguine, a ruddy chalk, this view of a North African cityscape dominated by a wide, tumultuous sky and a mosque with a large, low dome and high minaret, was drawn by Misha Reznikoff, a Ukranian-American artist. Reznikoff studied at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and later in Europe where he became close friends with Arshile Gorky, a friendship that lasted a lifetime.

"Summoned Reverie, " Superb Surrealist Painting with Nudes by Ames, 1939
By Arthur Ames
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Painted in soft, dreamlike colors and depicting a magical landscape of attenuated nude figures dominated by a painter and his muse, this extremely fine Surrealist work was painted by Arthur Ames in 1939. Here he used egg tempera on gesso-finished board -- a favorite medium among painters such as Paul Cadmus, Jared French and others in the 1930s, 40s and 50s -- to create a highly detailed view of an imagined landscape. Behind the central couple and the painting on its easel, there is a retreating woman in a flowing, Classical robe, and in the far distance a couple embracing on a mountain top. Ames was born in the Midwest but studied on the West Coast and became a California artist through and through; he participated in the Federal Art Project, and worked with his fiancée, Jean Goodwin...

"Siamese Twins, " Fabulous Art Deco Portrait with Siamese Cat and Female Figure
Located in Philadelphia, PA
The artist behind this striking and original Art Deco portrait -- Agnes Tait -- is clearly emphasizing the parallels between a female figure and her Siamese cat, both shown with heavily-shadowed blue eyes and short, dark hair, the feline crouching familiarly on the shoulder of her companion. Because Tait painted a series of portraits for Florenz Ziegfeld of the young women who performed in the Ziegfeld Follies in 1932, it's possible that the figure here was one of her subjects. The woman is wearing an elegant black gown that bares her upper chest, and the background is a lovely shade of reddish purple. Tait was a native New Yorker, studying in her youth at the National Academy of Design under Leon Kroll and others, before becoming a WPA painter in the 1930s. She painted a series of tropical scenes for the United Fruit Company...

The intense, open gaze of the young man, and his fresh, ruddy countenance, contrast dramatically with the jagged peaks and cool colors of the sky and mountains behind him.

"The Entombment of Christ, " Fine Copy of Titian Masterpiece, Oil on Canvas

Beautifully painted, probably in the 19th or early 20th centuries, this copy of the famed "Le Transport du Christ au Tombeau" painting by Titian (Tiziano) in the collection of the Louvre in Paris, was recently found in the attic of a Hudson Valley monastery. The Louvre original, considered an early painting by the master, dates to the same period as his famous "Pastoral Concert" and shows the strong influence of Gorgione. This scene depicts the collaborative efforts of Joseph of Arimathea, Saint John and Nicodemus as they moved Christ's body from the cross to his tomb, watched by the two grieving Marys -- his mother and Mary Magdalene. It is not known who painted this copy, though of course artists over the years have copied the great Master paintings...
