About the Item
Two male nude studies by Tony Sisti. Sisti was a master draftsman. With just a few lines he captures the moment. Sisti was a professional boxer and an accomplished artist.
A long-time painter and teacher in Buffalo, New York, Anthony "Tony" Sisti was also a muralist and drawing specialist. As a WPA* artist during the Depression, he did murals in western New York including one at the Rivera Restaurant in Buffalo, New York. The mural, whose subject was male laborers, was 100 feet long and 9 feet high.
Often he chose boxing subjects, something he knew first hand because he was Bantam Weight Champion for the state of New York. From 1932 to 1938, Sisti was a teacher of painting and anatomy at the Buffalo Art Institute*, and then he taught at the New York School of Applied Design for Women* in New York City.
Sisti was born in Greenwich Village and studied in Buffalo at the Albright Art School* with Urquhart Wilcox. After that he attended the Florence Academy of Art* Florence, Italy from 1925 to 1931, and there earned a doctor's degree with Felice Carena. He also studied anatomy at St. Mary's Hospital in Florence.
Memberships included the Buffalo Society of Art, and he exhibited his work with the Salons of America*, the Museum of Modern Art and the Albright Knox Art Gallery.

- "Seated Man, Two Positions", Drawing of Half-Nude Male Figure by Ulen, 1930sBy Paul UlenLocated in Philadelphia, PABeautifully 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...Category

- "Two Nudes with Columned Facade, " Art Deco Drawing w/ Male Nudes, EnglandLocated in Philadelphia, PABeautifully drawn, clearly by an important artist, this depiction of two nude male figures sitting in the foreground of a columned facade -- perhaps alluding to the Classical sculpture of ancient Greece -- is not signed, perhaps due to the subtly homoerotic nature of the scene. 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
