"April Fool, " Original Painting for Pennsylvania Academy Dance, Orange & Yellow
About the Item
Rich with color and a Maxfield Parrish-like wry humor, this original gouache painting was executed by a student with the initials JK for an annual vaudeville and dance event put on for the older students of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. The fool is shown in profile, with his hat ringed with bells and his hair cut in a Prince Valiant, medieval style. This is an important snapshot of art student life in the 1910s!

"Dancer at Rest, " Large Painting of Half-Nude Male Ballet Dancer, Mid Century
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Large and striking, this painting by Robert Childers presents a reclining ballet dancer, clothed above the waist in a dancer's sleeveless shirt, but nude below, holding a pink ribbon and accompanied by three wire-back chairs. Enigmatic and full of symbolism, the dancer is facing away from the viewer so his expression cannot be seen; the three chairs with heart-shaped backs suggest that the man may be in love. Childers himself had been a dancer for two years; he also studied painting at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and Fleisher Art Memorial, all in Philadelphia. Later he led a peripatetic life, designing for greeting card companies, and creating fabrics, toys and illustrations at one time or another in New York and elsewhere. The painting is oil on canvas, and retains its original wormy chestnut frame...

"Bulls and Grasshoppers", Original Art Deco Painting for Wallpaper Design, 1920s
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Brilliantly executed in primary colors -- scarlet, deep sky blue, yellow and white -- this original painting (not a pochoir) depicts an interwoven array of Egyptian symbols -- including Apsis the bull, symbol of fertility; grasshoppers, and ancient column capitals. Executed in France, probably as the basis for a 1920s wallpaper design, the firm's name and the artist's name are both signed in ink or pencil. In the 1920s, archaeological expeditions led by Howard Carter and others in Egypt led to the discovery in 1922 of the treasure of Tutankhamun...
