About the Item
Perhaps set on or inspired by the gorgeous, sun-bleached island of Delos in Greece, this 1954 painting by Joseph Hanson -- the British-American figural painter -- depicts a kneeling female nude, her head turned away and her hands clasped, all in gorgeous shades of rich brown, deep yellow and purplish blue. Not unlike Francis Bacon in subsequent decades, Hanson was known for abstracted, almost Moderne nudes that dissolved around the edges, and includes an overlay of geometric lines and circles that suggested an underlying mathematical form to warm, human flesh. The painting was exhibited at the Passedoit Gallery in New York City, managed by Georgette Passedoit, which was known for showing modern, boundary-pushing artists in the 1940s and 1950s. The medium is oil on canvas. Dimensions include frame.

"Summoned Reverie, " Superb Surrealist Painting with Nudes by Ames, 1939
By Arthur Ames
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Painted in soft, dreamlike colors and depicting a magical landscape of attenuated nude figures dominated by a painter and his muse, this extremely fine Surrealist work was painted by Arthur Ames in 1939. Here he used egg tempera on gesso-finished board -- a favorite medium among painters such as Paul Cadmus, Jared French and others in the 1930s, 40s and 50s -- to create a highly detailed view of an imagined landscape. Behind the central couple and the painting on its easel, there is a retreating woman in a flowing, Classical robe, and in the far distance a couple embracing on a mountain top. Ames was born in the Midwest but studied on the West Coast and became a California artist through and through; he participated in the Federal Art Project, and worked with his fiancée, Jean Goodwin...

By Jan Matulka
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This brilliant Surrealist composition, with the stylization and exaggerated plant forms of Art Deco, was painted by Jan Matulka in 1944.

Matulka was born in Prague and came to America as a young man, and trained here and in Paris, where he became exposed to Cubism. He exhibited in New York, created illustrations for New Masses which advanced the interest of American workers...
