About the Item

This very fine 1930s print, clearly influenced by the Neo-Classicsm of Picasso and Redon, was made by Paul Alex Deschmacker, a French artist active between the Wars. Its blank-eyed Greek figures clearly show the influence of classical statuary, and its dense foliage has a stylized quality that shows the influence of Art Deco decoration.

"Two Nudes with Columned Facade, " Art Deco Drawing w/ Male Nudes, England
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully drawn, clearly by an important artist, this depiction of two nude male figures sitting in the foreground of a columned facade -- perhaps alluding to the Classical sculpture of ancient Greece -- is not signed, perhaps due to the subtly homoerotic nature of the scene. The two figures have the solidity and gravity of high style Art Deco art, and may represent the academic, early work of a great master such as Glyn Philpot or John Craxton...
