"Rearing Horses, " High Style Pair of Art Deco, Mixed-Media Pieces by Von Liski

About the Item

This extraordinary pair of Art Deco pieces, each depicting a pair of horses, one with its head up and one down, was executed in ink, colored pencil and gouache by Robert Reinhardt Von Liski, a Prussian-American artist. Von Liski worked in Chicago as a commercial artist in advertising agencies and elsewhere, and did work for RCA Victor and Arrow Shirts, among other companies. This pair of mixed-media pieces is especially redolent of the sleek, Moderne art of the 1940s and are unique.
