"Susanne, " Swedish Landscape with Picasso-Esque Female Figure and Male Couple
About the Item
A fascinating blend of Cubism and romantic realism, this oil painting by Roland Alf, a Swedish artist, depicts a cubist female figure to one side -- clearly influenced by the work of Pablo Picasso -- and a male couple shown arm-in-arm to the right, all posed in and around a lake with a dense forest in the distance. The cool blues and greens of the landscape offer a strong contrast with the bright carmen of the female figure's dress and the warm rosy skin tones of the male couple. Alf experienced a remarkably varied career, at one point serving as a theatre painter for the Art Nouveau-style Oscar Theater in Stockholm (Oscarsteatern), becoming experienced in sculpture as well as painting over the years, and restoring decorative painting in churches toward the end of his career. (Dimensions include frame.).

- "Siamese Twins, " Fabulous Art Deco Portrait with Siamese Cat and Female FigureLocated in Philadelphia, PAThe 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...Category
