Art Deco Paintings

Art Deco style painting of a woman before a mirror, oil on canvas, France, 20th century. This oil painting on canvas depicts an elegant woman observing her reflection in a mirror, in a composition directly inspired by the Art Deco aesthetic. The work features a sophisticated female figure dressed in a red gown and a flowing cape, characteristic of 1920s and 1930s fashion. The interplay between the figure, seen from behind, and her reflection creates a dynamic and refined composition, while the simplified forms, strong contours, and flat planes of color recall fashion illustrations and decorative posters of the period. The red, ivory, black, and ochre tones bring contrast and elegance to the whole. Presented in a gilt frame, this decorative work evokes the world of luxury, femininity, and glamour inherent to Art Deco. It is an ideal statement piece to enhance a vintage or contemporary décor.

An extraordinary example of Art Deco painting with allegorical meaning -- like so many murals painted in the 1920s and 1930s -- this large work by William L'Engle depicts five nude male figures laboring in the field, symbolizing life in Provincetown, Massachusetts. A Black male figure in the foreground is planting crops, while two other figures in the distance are pulling a rope, perhaps alluding to fishing boats tied up at the dock, while another nude seems to be sinking into sleep beneath a pier -- all with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the background. L'Engle called this "The Five Josephs," perhaps referring to Joseph of Arimathea and other figures in the New Testament. William L'Engle was a towering figure in the Provincetown art colony, and was extremely well connected with America's artistic elite, starting with his trip to Europe as a young man with Waldo Pierce and George Biddle. Over time, William and his life Lucy became close to a wide range of important figures in painting, theater and the arts, including Charles Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neill, Gerrit Beneker, John Dos Passos, Edmund Wilson and Mary McCarthy, William and Marguerite Zorach, Edna St. Vincent-Millay, Charles Demuth, Childe Hassam, George Biddle, Edwin Dickinson...

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...
