"Reclining Male Nude", Important Drawing by Edward Wolfe, Duncan Grant's Circle
About the Item
This important, beautifully rendered drawing of a reclining male nude figure was made by Edward Wolfe, who was born in South Africa but spent much of his career in Great Britain in the company of Duncan Grant and other celebrated gay artists. A year after arriving in England in 1916, Roger Fry invited Wolfe to join the Omega Workshops, where he painted and designed furniture with strong colors influenced by the Fauvist movement. Wolfe connected to Grant and the Bloomsbury Group where, he said, his ‘life really began." Wolfe's work is held in the collections of the Tate Gallery, the Royal Academy, the National Portrait Gallery, London and the Dixson Galleries in Australia. The drawing is on a warm, pale brown paper, and is signed in the lower righthand corner. The drawing has been auctioned several times over the years, and old labels remain on the reverse. Dimensions include the matte and frame; visible drawing is 13 inches high by 17 inches wide.

- "Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by KlimtBy Erwin StolzLocated in Philadelphia, PABold 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...Category
