"Archer and Standing Nude, " Early Art Deco Drawing by Donald De Lue
About the Item
Created early in De Lue's career, possibly when he worked in the New York studio of Bryant Baker, this handsome Art Deco drawing depicts a nude male figure in an outstretched archer pose accompanied by a standing female nude figure. Because it doesn't show the hallmarks of De Lue's later style --including heavy, exaggerated musculature -- his interest in lithe, mannered nudes is already apparent. It is our estimation that this drawing dates to the 1930s. His male and female figures at the federal courthouse in Philadelphia, dating to the 1930s, demonstrate the enormous strength and severe weightiness he brought to his lifetime of sculpture. (Dimensions include matte; drawing itself is 23 inches high by 18 inches wide.).

Donald De Lue
Donald De Lue was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1897. He was an American sculptor, best known for his public monuments. De Lue studied at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and later served as an assistant to sculptors Richard Henry Recchia and Robert P. Baker. This was followed by five years in Paris where he continued his study, while working as an assistant to various French artists. He returned to the United States where he was engaged by Bryant Baker. In 1940, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member and became a full Academician in 1943.

"Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by Klimt
By Erwin Stolz
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Bold and atmospheric, this ink drawing depicts a kneeling nude male figure, his bow arched and his arrow ready to spring forward, surrounded by a flower-bedecked landscape that clearly draws its inspiration from Gustav Klimt's work. To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...
