About the Item

One of the most exotic and gorgeously colored Art Deco paintings we have ever seen, this scene of an elaborately robed Chinese couple, clearly of royal blood, conversing by a pool suffused with lavender and lily pads, was painted by Endré in the late 1920s or 1930s. The colors are simply stunning jewel-toned emerald, violet, deep purple, saffron and tangerine and the scene is rich with light and atmosphere, framed by the Chinese lantern on the left, and the artfully twisted, flowering tree on the right.

By Eugene Francis Savage

Small Painting by Jean Hugo from 1927
By Jean Hugo
Located in New York, NY
Great grandson of the famous writer Victor Hugo, the painter Jean Hugo (1894-1984) was in the thick of the Paris art scene between the wars. A member of the avant garde, he was a friend of Picasso, Cocteau and Colette and was associated with the Neo Romantics. His small gouaches on paper were avidly collected by Dr. Albert Barnes, and can be seen today in the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia. Hugo's most desirable work -- landscapes, interior scenes, set designs -- date from the mid 1920s to the late 1930s. This whimsical painting, signed and dated 1927, is set in a curtained, classical interior furnished with Victorian lighting fixtures...
