About the Item

Perhaps the finest work of Aurel Richter's (1870-1957) career, this vividly-painted, Art Deco - Cubist view of central Budapest in the 1930s depicts the pinnacled Liberty Bridge, the sparkling blue Danube, and an energetic scene of crowded streetcars, streamlined automobiles, and the Hungarian parliament building, its windows casting light into the nocturnal air. Richter was known for his portraits and figural painting, so this expansive view of his native city is a spectacular exception. He trained under Karl Lotz and was known for illustration art as well as easel paintings. The medium is oil on board. (Dimensions include frame.).

"NIKE at Waldemarsudde, " Depiction of Stockholm Landmark, Art Deco Masterpiece
By Georg Pauli
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Arguably the greatest work of Georg Pauli, one of Sweden's leading Modernist painters in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, this Art Deco-Cubist work depicts the great Nike sculpture on the grounds of the home of Prince Eugens on Cape Waldemar in central Stockholm (known in Swedish as Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde). The Prince was a great collector of modern art in the early 20th century, and today his home is a museum and much-beloved landmark in Stockholm. This painting shows the sculpture in the foreground, and in the background is a jumble of houses, factory chimneys and institutional buildings, the Swedish flag...
