About the Item
Bold and striking, this depiction of Charon rowing departed souls to the afterlife was painted by Richard Schwarzkopf, renowned for his paintings and illustrations in what has been called the German Expressionist Art Deco style. Schwarzkopf was a member of the artists' association "Das Junge Rheinland" starting in 1919, until it was dissolved by the National Socialists, and taught at Düsseldorf Art Academy in the 1930s. This painting is a fine example of art that was transitioning from Art Deco into a style we associate with midcentury, and is executed in ink and crayon. This piece is matted but not framed, and features an estate stamp on the reverse.
