"Charon Rowing Souls to the Afterlife, " Striking Midcentury Mixed-Media Painting
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.

- Lee Porzio Mixed Media Painting Midcentury Scottsdale Arizona ArtistBy Lee PorzioLocated in Cathedral City, CALee Porzio, Untitled, Oil on Gesso Board with String, ca 1960s. Painting measures 32: high x 48" wide; with frame painting measures 33-1/2 high x 49-3/4" wide. Painting is in good vintage condition with new gold wood frame. LEE PORZIO (1913-2004) Lee was born in Paterson, New Jersey in September 1913 to Italian immigrant parents. Growing up in nearby Hawthorne, New Jersey, Lee met first husband Angelo di Benedetto, by then a well-known artist in his own right. They married in 1942 while Angelo was serving in the Air Force. In 1946, when he was discharged, they remained in Colorado, where he had been stationed, settling in Central City near Denver. Apparently, Angelo’s years-long obsession with turning a warehouse into a giant art studio created tension in their relationship ending in their divorce. By 1953, Lee had met Allen Ditson and moved to Arizona; they married in 1954. Once in Arizona, they began building their reputations as artists able to work in various media. Allen was a sculptor in metal and wood and a furniture designer. Lee was known for her skill as a graphic artist and could execute her designs in clay, oils, fabrics and fibers. Her work was sold at fine galleries nationwide. Together, their commissions include works of dramatic size and scope in the architectural and commercial field throughout the United States as well as intimate pieces for homes and small offices. Their work adorned numerous banks, offices, restaurants, churches and university buildings all over Phoenix, Arizona. Lee passed away in Paradise Valley, Arizona in 2004. Allen died in 2007.
