About the Item

A brilliant example of Cubist-influenced Art Deco painting, this view of a young flamenco dancer, with a wide-brimmed hat and roses on her hair, was painted by Jules Schyl, one of Sweden's leading Modernist artists in the 1920s and 30s. Schyl was born in Denmark but spent most of his career in Sweden, exhibiting widely across Europe in the 1920s through the 1950s. In 1924, Schyl joined "The Twelve," a southern Swedish modernist group, several members of which had studied under André Lhote in Paris in 1912. Schyl's work is collected by the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm, the Malmo Museum and the Art Gallery of Vikingsberg, among others. The painting is oil on canvas, and is beautifully framed.

"Burlesque and Cubist Composition", Two-Sided Painting by William L'Engle
By William L'Engle
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Brilliant and memorable, this painting has two sides: a scene of nude burlesque dancers, ornamented in red feathers and red shoes on one side, and on the other, a highly abstract, Cubist composition in tones of taupe, wine, pale green and black. The artist was William L'Engle, and clearly he considered the Cubist composition more important, because it has a hand-painted border and is monogrammed. L'Engle was a towering figure in the Provincetown art colony, and was extremely well connected to America's artistic elite, starting with his trip to Europe as a young man with Waldo Pierce and George Biddle. Over time, William and his life Lucy became close to a wide range of important figures in painting, theater and the arts, including Charles Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neill, Gerrit Beneker, John Dos Passos, Edmund Wilson...
