About the Item

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, the great illustrator and symbolist painter and with Josef Matthias Hauer, a composer who was close to Arnold Schoenberg. This drawing is ink on paper. (Dimensions include the matte and frame; visible drawing is 8.75 inches high by 7 inches wide.)

By Emma Goitein Dessau
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A rare work by Emma Goitein Dessau, this color print entitled "Born to Work -- Rebel," depicts a kneeling nude male figure in chains, in the foreground, rebelling against the roiling crowd of nude figures behind him, all caught up in the crush of work and toil. The artist was clearly protesting the demands of modernity, and the toll it was taking on humanity, using a parade of beautifully captured nude figures to make her point. Goitein was German Jewish...

Located in Philadelphia, PA
This remarkable and stunning set of six sensuous prints, highlighted in gold and silver ink, was published and bound by John Henry Nash in 1926 to honor the life of his frequent collaborator, Ray Frederick Coyle.
