"Jacob Wrestling the Angel, " Art Deco Bowl with Male Nudes, 1927, Purple & Gold

About the Item

Boldly and energetically painted, this Art Deco bowl depicts two nude male figures -- Jacob and the angel -- wrestling during the night, as related in the book of Genesis. Jacob refused to submit, and was rewarded by the angel for his tenacity and faithfulness. Here the artist depicts the two figures in rich colors -- purple and gold -- on a sandy, speckled ground. The artist signed the piece with his/her monogram -- BR -- and indicated the date of the piece: 1927. We have not identified the artist, but the expression of the figures brings to mind Robert Lohman in Indianapolis, William Littlefield in Massachusetts and even Duncan Grant in Great Britain.
