About the Item
Superbly conceived and executed, this Cubist-influenced Art Deco drawing shows four nude male figures, three below in various stages of surprise and exclamation, and a Christ-like figure above, gesturing to them in peace. The scene may be a modern day allusion to several Biblical stories of the risen Christ appearing to his followers, including on the road to Emmaus. All four figures have a Modern, stylized appearance, and the trees and landscapes behind them are fractured and abstracted in the Cubist manner. The drawing is signed with the artist's monogram in the lower right corner, but the name is difficult to discern.

View All"Two Nudes with Columned Facade, " Art Deco Drawing w/ Male Nudes, England
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully drawn, clearly by an important artist, this depiction of two nude male figures sitting in the foreground of a columned facade -- perhaps alluding to the Classical sculpture of ancient Greece -- is not signed, perhaps due to the subtly homoerotic nature of the scene. The two figures have the solidity and gravity of high style Art Deco art, and may represent the academic, early work of a great master such as Glyn Philpot or John Craxton...

"Nudes in Cubist Landscape, " Drawing by Glidden Parker, Founder, Glidden Pottery
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A classic example of 1930s drawing showing the influence of Cubism and Art Deco design, this depiction of a nude couple standing in a landscape with fractured hills and clouds was created by Glidden Parker, most famous for his influence on modern ceramics and home design. Parker's stripped-down, geometric forms for tableware and decorative ware became widely popular in the 1940s and 1950s, and his earliest pieces sometimes have Art Deco decorative motifs. This drawing precedes the establishment of Glidden Pottery...
