"Boxer in Triumph, " Rare Ink Drawing of Male Boxer with Arms Raised, 1929
About the Item
This 1929 vintage ink and inkwash drawing of a bare-chested boxer is turned away from the viewer, his gloved hands raised high as if the fight has just been won. The artist, William Littlefield, was fascinated by the male figure and produced many nude studies, but this piece is one of his most compelling and striking. Littlefield used strong lines and deep shadings to make this image unforgettable truly a step back into the 1920s! Littlefield exhibited widely in the 1930s and 1940s, and his works are in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Wadworth Atheneum in Hartford. (Dimensions include matte and frame.)

- "Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by KlimtBy Erwin StolzLocated in Philadelphia, PABold and atmospheric, this ink drawing depicts a kneeling nude male figure, his bow arched and his arrow ready to spring forward, surrounded by a flower-bedecked landscape that clearly draws its inspiration from Gustav Klimt's work. To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...Category
