"Bulls and Grasshoppers", Original Art Deco Painting for Wallpaper Design, 1920s
About the Item
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's's tomb, prompting an enormous wave of interest in reviving ancient Egyptian style, in architecture, fashion and the decorative arts. The painting is gouache on heavy paper. Dimensions include matte and frame; visible painting is 18 inches high by 21 inches wide.
