"Male Youth with Pole", Superb Painting of Male Nude by Sigvard Mohn, 1910s
About the Item
Sensitively painted with a rich but subdued palette and dramatic lighting, this large painting of a male youth leaning on a long pole was made by Sigvard Mohn, a Minnesota-born artist of Norwegian extraction. Little is known about his career, and his works are rare. Drawings and paintings of nude figures were required by most art schools in the early 20th century, and since the man to the right in the shadows seems to be dressed in Spanish costume, the scene suggests that Mohn may have studied in Europe. Later the artist lived and worked in Brooklyn, and a painting of his is owned by the Salmagundi Club in Manhattan. The painting is signed on the reverse, and is stretched but not framed.

- "Summoned Reverie, " Superb Surrealist Painting with Nudes by Ames, 1939By Arthur AmesLocated in Philadelphia, PAPainted 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...Category
