"Seated Man, Two Positions", Drawing of Half-Nude Male Figure by Ulen, 1930s
About the Item
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. Ulen was trained in England, in the 1920s, later returning to Ohio to win several prizes at the Cleveland Museum of Art in the 1920s and 1930s. The drawing is signed in the lower lefthand corner. Dimensions include the matte; visible drawing is 11.5 inches high by 12.5 inches wide.

The two figures have the solidity and gravity of high style Art Deco art, and may represent the academic, early work of a great master such as Glyn Philpot or John Craxton...Category
