"Dancing Angel", Classic 1940s Tempera Painting with Nude Male Figure
About the Item
Reminiscent of the work of Jared French in its material (tempera), its color palette and its approach to the male figure, this lovely depiction of two dancing angels, one in the foreground playing fiddle as well, was painted by Robert Somers in 1948. The main figure's head is bent down in concentration, close to his instrument, and his raiment has a translucent quality, as if it were expressed in watercolor rather than tempera. A number of artists active in the 1930s, 40s and 50s used egg tempera -- an exacting and difficult medium -- and here the artist applies it to gessoed artist board. The original label survives on the reverse.
