About the Item

This handsome pair of pencil drawings on tracing paper were created by Rosella Hartman, an important printmaker active between 1923 and 1959. They were executed in 1934 when Hartman was studying in Munich on a John Simon Guggenheim Award. The modeling of the figures gives them great strength and solidity, and the drawings makes equally strong statements.

"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...
