"The Hourglass, " Art Deco Drawing with Nude Couple by Goor, 1951
About the Item
Haunting and beautiful, this drawing of a young nude couple facing death, in his Classic shroud and holding an hourglass aloft, was made in 1951 by Gaston Goor, who was famous for illustrating a number of books by Roger Peyrefitte and others in France. Goor was deeply influenced by the paintings he found at the Louvre in his youth, and his work often depicts male figures with an implicit, or sometimes explicit, homoerotic theme. Goor designed vases for the famous Sevres porcelain works, as well as for the Mougin pottery company in France. The drawing is ink on paper. (The dimensions include matte and frame.).

"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...
