"Tunisian Young Man" and "Villa Sébastian", Two Woodruff paintings
By Porter Woodruff
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Both dating from the 1930s, these two paintings say much about Porter Woodruff's life in Tunisia. The large oil depicts a Tunisian young man dressed in a white robe and traditional chechia hat, seated in an archway with the North African sky and Mediterranean Sea in the distance. The smaller painting depicts, in the distance, the pioneering Villa Sébastian in Hammamet, Tunisia, which serves as a cultural landmark to this day. The house -- a melding of Moderne and native Tunisian architecture -- was built by Porter Woodruff, an American painter who spent most of his artistic life in Paris and Tunisia, and Georges Sébastian, an important Hungarian-born, French orchestra...

1950s Art Deco Style Painting of Racing Arabian Horses by Porter Woodruff
By Porter Woodruff
Located in Morristown, NJ
American intra-war artist and illustrator Porter Woodruff (1894-1959). Arabian Horses and Riders, oil on board with chalky gouache. Signed Porter Woodruff Hammamet 1958 in pencil on the back. Indistinct PW on lower right of painting. His Art Deco-influenced paintings are highly decorative and appealing, the compositions complex and well-thought out. The gold leaf background is decorative and elegant. His are rare Modernist paintings by an artist who found himself at the very heart of design, fashion and celebrity life in the early part of the century. Dimensions: 11.5" H x 15.5" W (sight) 13.5" H x 17.5" W (frame) Porter Woodruff, was an illustrator artist and contributor to Vogue Magazine and Home & Garden (including covers for both). He was one of five artists stationed in Paris in 1923 for Vogue. Woodruff spent considerable time in Tunisia, North Africa, residing with his romantic partner, Romanian socialite George Sebastian. Sebastian owned a lavish, coastal property in then-trendy Hammamet, near Tunis on the Mediterranean. Sebastian fell in love with the simple beauty of the quiet fishing port of Hammamet and was the first of the international set of the times to build his villa there. He started a trend that has never ceased. Frank Lloyd Wright is said to have claimed Dar Sebastian to be ”the most beautiful house I have ever seen”. American and European intelligentsia and upper-crust were attracted to the area between the wars. The artists Cocteau, Elsa Schiaparelli, Paul Klee, Andre Gide, the Sitwells, and Cecil Beaton enjoyed visiting, partying, and undertaking what someone once described as indulging the opportunity to do 'some rather elaborate sinning'. Other visitors included Art Deco designer Jean-Michel Frank, Wallis Simpson, Somerset Maugham, and Greta Garbo, among others. The onset of war disrupted this scene and it never truly regained its former glory. Dar Sebastian was requisitioned by the 'Desert Fox', German General, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel...
