"Orpheus with Lyre and Cape", Fine Art Deco Eglomise Painting in Gold and Wine

About the Item

An elegant and sophisticated example of high style Art Deco eglomise painting, this depiction of a stylized Orpheus figure with lyre and cape is painted in rich tones of gold, black and wine. Painted by a French artist who signed it "F," it is reminiscent of some of the larger reverse-painted murals that were executed for ocean liners and theaters in the 1930s and 40s.

  • "Satyr and Nymph", Art Deco Masterpiece Painting with Nudes in Paradise, 1932
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    One of the most sensual and brilliant Art Deco paintings in the French manner that we have ever offered, this idyllic scene of Satyr and Nymph, lounging under a fruited tree with lush fields in the distance, was painted by Gheorghe Labin in 1932. Labin was one of Romania's avant-garde artists in the 1920s and 1930s, and clearly he trained in Paris, because the lush scene, brilliant palette, and confident brush strokes indicate an intimate familiarity with the leading painters associated with what we now call Art Deco. This painting was entered into the Salon Bucarest in 1932, in a period when Labin exhibited with Mattis Teutsch, the de facto leader of Romania's modern painters, together with Corneliu Baba...
