"Man's Portrait, Three Quarters View, " Powerful Drawing by Leon Kroll
About the Item
This strong and compelling portrait of a young man with chiselled features was drawn by Leon Kroll, WPA muralist and accomplished painter who normally favoured female subjects. Kroll studied under John Twachtman in New York and Jean-Paul Laurens in Paris, before teaching at the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and elsewhere. He was a good friend of George Bellows, and painted murals for the Department of Justice Buildings in Washington, D.C. This portrait is especially arresting, and the sitter's fashionable haircut would suggest it dates to the 1920s or 1930s. (Dimensions include matte and frame.)

"Rear View, " Superb Ink Drawing by John K. Green, Circle of Benjamin Britten
By John Kenneth Green
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Finely detailed in ink on paper, this drawing of a nude male figure's back side was made by John Kenneth Green, a prolific and successful English artist who is best known for his portraits. Green came from Suffolk, England, and won a scholarship to study at the Slade School of Fine Art, after which he traveled and exhibited widely, including a trip to America in the early 1930s which led to an exhibition at Feragil Galleries in New York. He had a place in a circle of gay artists, and in 1943 painted a lovely portrait of one of England's foremost gay couples -- Benjamin Britten...

"Seated Man, Two Positions", Drawing of Half-Nude Male Figure by Ulen, 1930s
By Paul Ulen
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully and sensitively drawn by Paul Ulen, this single sheet includes two images of a half-nude male figure, seated and reclining, wearing loose worker pants and sporting a fashionable 1930s haircut. In each case, the figure's strong, muscular body is expressed in tones of light and shadow, confidently drawn in pencil. The gridded background suggests that the figures were studies for a larger wall mural, and indeed, a major mural-esque painting by Ulen, "Bricklayer at Rest," perhaps depicting the same model, is also available from Renaissance Man Antiques...
