About the Item
One of the most vivid and compelling accounts of the famed Century of Progress Exposition, which opened in Chicago in 1933, this view of the iconic Federal Building was painted in the second year of the fair by a Pennsylvania artist. The brilliantly-lit Art Deco dome and pylons of the building, framed by a web of searchlights in a panoply of colors, are all set off by a starlit sky. The overall style and elegance of the fair site was established by two renowned architects, Paul Cret and Raymond Hood and the Federal Building was designed by Bennet, Burnham and Holabird. (Dimensions include frame).

"NIKE at Waldemarsudde, " Depiction of Stockholm Landmark, Art Deco Masterpiece
By Georg Pauli
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Arguably the greatest work of Georg Pauli, one of Sweden's leading Modernist painters in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, this Art Deco-Cubist work depicts the great Nike sculpture on the grounds of the home of Prince Eugens on Cape Waldemar in central Stockholm (known in Swedish as Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde). The Prince was a great collector of modern art in the early 20th century, and today his home is a museum and much-beloved landmark in Stockholm. This painting shows the sculpture in the foreground, and in the background is a jumble of houses, factory chimneys and institutional buildings, the Swedish flag...
