"Zodiac w/ Helios and Cornucopia", Fabulous Art Deco Mural Study by Savage
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Painted by Eugene Savage -- arguably, America's most successful and prolific muralist in the Art Deco style, with important surviving paintings dating from the 1920s to the 1950s -- this study was made for a Zodiac-themed ceiling mural. The round painting features a night sky jeweled with bands of stars, and featuring several mythological figures such as Helios with his chariot and Cornucopia.

Flower Still Life with Dahlias, Oil on Canvas, Gaston Geleyn, Dated 1934
Located in Casteren, Noord-Brabant
Flower still life with dahlias, in beautiful, vibrant colors. Oil on canvas. The round format is very unusual. Frame and canvas are an original whole. The painting is signed in the paint on the lower right and dated, 1934. The painting is framed behind anti-reflective glass, which means that the colors are beautifully preserved. The frame is subtly carved in Art Deco style. A similar painting by the same painter is depicted in an old exhibition book by this painter. See picture. His work work has also been purchased by various museums.
The book about Gaston Geleyn is beautifully illustrated, 170 pages and it is about the life and work of the artist. The book was published in 1933. Book is supplied with the painting.
More information about the Gaston Geleyn follows below. Source: Paul Piron 'Art in Belgium'.

Painter. Stayed with a great uncle in Paris until he was 16 years old. After a short stay in Brussels, he returned to Paris and attended classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts led by Roll and Flaming.

His first exhibition was at the 'Giroux' Gallery in Brussels in 1933. Geleyn painted landscapes, marines, figure still lifes and flowers. He also painted the portrait of King Albert I.

"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...
