About the Item

Painted in a brilliant palette of orange, deep red, sky blue and forest green, this scene of a half nude female figure lounging on a black settee probably dates to the 1930s when Salvatore Pinto visited Marrakesh and painted many scenes there. Born in Italy, Pinto moved to America as a young man, studied at the Philadelphia Museum of Fine Arts, and then achieved public acclaim when he was discovered by Albert Barnes in 1928. Barnes purchased several of his paintings -- some, like this, no doubt reminded Barnes of his many paintings by Matisse -- and they are available to the public today at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Chapter of the Works Progress Administration supported his work in printmaking and painting in the 1930s, but he suffered an accident after 1945 which made further painting impossible. His works can also be found at the Noyes Museum of Art in New Jersey. The painting is oil on linen; two labels survive from the preeminent Locks Gallery in Philadelphia. The painting is framed under glass, which has kept the oil paint bright and clean. Dimensions include matte and frame; visible painting is 11.5 inches high by 14.5 inches wide.

"Dancer at Rest, " Large Painting of Half-Nude Male Ballet Dancer, Mid Century
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Large and striking, this painting by Robert Childers presents a reclining ballet dancer, clothed above the waist in a dancer's sleeveless shirt, but nude below, holding a pink ribbon and accompanied by three wire-back chairs. Enigmatic and full of symbolism, the dancer is facing away from the viewer so his expression cannot be seen; the three chairs with heart-shaped backs suggest that the man may be in love. Childers himself had been a dancer for two years; he also studied painting at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and Fleisher Art Memorial, all in Philadelphia. Later he led a peripatetic life, designing for greeting card companies, and creating fabrics, toys and illustrations at one time or another in New York and elsewhere. The painting is oil on canvas, and retains its original wormy chestnut frame...
