About the Item
Drawn in rich, ruddy sanguine, and with a confident, bravura hand, this depiction of three nude males -- all exaggeratedly tall and elastic-limbed -- shows the figures engaging in a kind of dance. The two figures to the right -- one facing away from the viewer and one toward -- almost seem to be in a wrestling hold, but all the figures have a placid, limpid appearance. The draftsmanship is sure and confident, and the relationship between the three figures is unusual and intriguing. The drawing dates from 1935, and is signed "Collet X," which may be a nom de plume for an artist who may have wanted to keep an arm's length distance from a work that might be seen as homoerotic.

"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...
