1924 Propaganda Style Art Deco Drawing Switzerland and French Revolutionary Wars
By J. Nusink
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique and original work of art about the history of Switzerland and France. This impressive and powerful work of art is definitely unique and interesting for many reasons. First of all, the style in which this charcoal drawing (with patches of watercolor) was made, is typical of the era and a joy to look at. Secondly, the posters of this era are rare and sought after, so to find an original drawing makes this antique extra desirable. Thirdly, the powerful male and female figure show a kind of determination that is often found in propaganda posters from this era, but the quality of the execution lifts it to another level. Fourthly, if you read about the French revolutionary...

Marie Laurencin Graphite Drawing, Female Portrait
Located in Phoenix, AZ
Graceful original graphite drawing by Marie Laurencin (1885-1956). Signed lower right with initials "M.L." Marie Laurencin, intimate of Braque, Picasso, Matisse and Appollinaire, was born in 1885. She held a celebrated place in the early part of the 20th century. She lived in the Montmartre district of Paris. Though her early portraits show the imprint of the Fauves and Cubists, her romantic and delicate temperament asserted itself against these schools. Called the 'muse' by her fellow painters, her works are loved for their fragile beauty. Though they may be feminine in subject and execution, the distortion of form and the simplicity of expression mark her for a modern master. In her later years, she became almost a hermit, although mothers with daughters...
