About the Item
Superbly conceived and executed by Gaston Goor in the late 1940s, when he was at the height of his powers, this drawing brings together three male figures -- all beautifully depicted in the nude -- Apollo, Hyancinthus and Cyparissus. Apollo is shown to the left, with his beloved lyre, accompanied by two male figures who served as his companions and lovers. The figure to the right is probably Cyparissus, who is said to have accidentally killed his beloved pet deer, moving him to ask Apollo to allow his tears to fall forevermore. Apollo turned him into a cypress tree, whose sap forms droplets like tears on the trunk. Goor was a great admirer of the great Classical and Renaissance masters, and here his figures are masterfully drafted, showing the influence of the lithe Mannerism of the late Renaissance. The artist illustrated a number of books by Roger Peyrefitte and others which had an implicit, or sometimes explicit, homoerotic theme. Goor also designed vases for the famous Sevres porcelain works, as well as for the Mougin pottery company in France. The medium is pencil on paper.

View All"Allegory, " Art Deco-Cubist Drawing with Multiple Nude Male Figures, circa 1920s
Located in Philadelphia, PA

"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...

"Triton and Nymph, " Art Deco Drawing by Lincoln Kirstein Associate, 1928
By William Littlefield
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine and bold drawing by William Littlefield, this piece depicts male and female nude figures in an embrace, the male figure inspired by Nicholas Podiapolski, Littlefield's model and lover in the late 1920s. Littlefield is known for his male nudes and mythological scenes, either in ink wash as here, or in oil on canvas. This drawing was completed in St. Tropez, during an extended stay in Europe that gave him a close acquaintance with Italian and other classical art. Two years later, Littlefield formed a friendship with Lincoln Kirstein...
