"Expulsion from Eden, " Monumental Art Deco Painting with Nude Adam and Eve

About the Item

Full of tenderness in a moment of rejection and shame, this major Art Deco painting, masterfully executed, depicts Jophiel expelling Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. The two nude figures are newly aware of their nakedness, and of course it is knowledge that has led to their departure from Paradise and their future of toil and vulnerability. The painter has shown the angel suffused with a lovely, pale yellow light and surrounded by dramatic, velvety clouds, and the figures are softly lit in a beautiful glow. The painting is not signed, but it is clearly by a German master working in the 1920s. The medium is oil on canvas.

  • "Satyr and Nymph", Art Deco Masterpiece Painting with Nudes in Paradise, 1932
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    One of the most sensual and brilliant Art Deco paintings in the French manner that we have ever offered, this idyllic scene of Satyr and Nymph, lounging under a fruited tree with lush fields in the distance, was painted by Gheorghe Labin in 1932. Labin was one of Romania's avant-garde artists in the 1920s and 1930s, and clearly he trained in Paris, because the lush scene, brilliant palette, and confident brush strokes indicate an intimate familiarity with the leading painters associated with what we now call Art Deco. This painting was entered into the Salon Bucarest in 1932, in a period when Labin exhibited with Mattis Teutsch, the de facto leader of Romania's modern painters, together with Corneliu Baba...
