"Eight Nudes, " Monumental Drawing with Male Nudes Attributed to Davies
About the Item
An arresting assemblage of nude figures, executed in white chalk on a dramatic black background, this drawing shows the artist's mastery of the human figure in various poses supine, kneeling, striding and sitting. The artist may be Arthur Bowen Davies, known for his groups of lithe nude figures in pastoral or mythological settings. Davies, interestingly, was also one of the driving forces behind the famous 1913 Armory Show in New York, which helped to introduce the American public to modern and Cubist art, both domestic and international. The drawing is on black paper mounted on cardboard.

- "Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by KlimtBy Erwin StolzLocated in Philadelphia, PABold 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...Category

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...Category
