About the Item
A brilliant and lively depiction of a crowded cafe scene in 1945, this painting by Adalie Margules Brent depicts a slice of Black America at the end of World War II, probably in New Orleans, complete with a waiter, fashionably dressed men and women and wafts of cigarette smoke. The high-waisted pants and window pane suits on the men, and the floppy hats and white gloves of the women, attest to the couture of the day, which continues to fascinate us. Brent was a well-known illustration artist in Louisiana but her work is rarely found. This example is a masterpiece, and is reminiscent of the observant and lively paintings of American society by Miguel Covarrubias. The painting was once in the collection of actor Vincent Price, who was well known for his fine art connoisseurship. (Dimensions include frame.)

"Shore Leave, " Large Art Deco Mural with Sailors at New Orleans Brothel, 1940s
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most striking and remarkable Art Deco paintings we have ever offered, this depiction of a group of 1940s sailors visiting a New Orleans brothel is full of boisterous energy and strong color, providing an amused and amusing view of Navy life during or after World War II. The sailors -- in their tight white pants and youthful swagger -- are enjoying the company of an array of brothel workers, reigned over by a madam dressed in ruby red, with two young paramours to her side. Taking it all in is a group of jeering young men in straw hats to the right, and a young gay...
