"Diana Keeping Watch," Important Art Deco Mural Study by Dunbar Beck
$5,500
About
This gorgeous and important mural study, depicting a sleeping couple under a starlit sky, watched by the goddess Diana overhead, was painted in gouache and gold by Dunbar Beck, in preparation for a series of murals he did for the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair. All three figures are Classic, stylized depictions in the Art Deco manner and the floating figure of Diana is highlighted in gold. Note, too, the gorgeous blues in the night sky and the purples in the trousers of the male figure. Beck is known for his WPA mural for the post office in Danvers, Massachusetts and his work to decorate a piano donated by Steinway to the Roosevelt White House.
