Large and Important Set of Fer Forge Gates, Possibly Subes

About the Item

This large, rare set of early 1930s, French wrought iron gates are brilliantly designed and expertly crafted, exhibiting the abstracted gazelle forms and calligraphic iron bars that characterized the work of Raymond Subes and other masters in the 1930s. This set of four gates is especially reminiscent of a set of Subes gates featuring strands of iron intersecting and ending in space that was sold by a French auction house in 2007.

    By Oscar Matthiesen
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Brilliantly capturing the intensity and artistry of the sculptor at work, this large and important painting by Oscar Matthiesen depicts his subject with wild, unkempt hair and a lean frame. The sculptor has rolled up the sleeves of his artist smock and is reaching out to touch the shoulder of the nude he is in the midst of creating. On the wall behind him is another painting that serves as a faint aureole that gives the sculptor a saintly character. Matthiesen studied with Puvis de Chavannes in Paris, and is best known for a massive painting...
