"Theatrical Scene, " Art Deco Painting with Tragedy, Comedy in Celestial Setting
About the Item
This extraordinary, almost surreal scene by one of America's leading muralists in the Art Deco period, Eugene Savage, depicts a floating female nude on the stage, with figures of Comedy and Tragedy blowing trumpets to her right, theater curtains framing the scene, and suggestions of celestial orbs and the larger universe beyond. Savage is best known for a spectacular set of murals he painted to illustrate the history and lore of Hawaii commissioned by Matson Shipping Line for the S. S. Lurline, executed in the 1940s but not installed until the 1950s. He also painted a set of enormous murals for the Great Hall in the Texas Hall of State, the centerpiece of Fair Park in Dallas, built to celebrate the Texas Centennial in 1936. Savage was a prolific painter and muralist, executing works for public buildings in Chicago, Pennsylvania and Indiana, and for Columbia and Yale Universities. This painting may have been a study for one of Savage's murals. The medium is oil on board.

"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...
