About the Item

An extraordinary and rare print by Robert Charles Peter, a British artist, this scene of a male and female nude, in a cage-like setting with lush plant forms in the background, seems to suggest that they are standing on the periphery of a giant conservatory. Peter was a painter and printmaker born in Southwark, London, and was a member of various graphic institutions in London. It is signed on the lower right in pencil.

"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...

"Nudes in Cubist Landscape, " Drawing by Glidden Parker, Founder, Glidden Pottery
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A classic example of 1930s drawing showing the influence of Cubism and Art Deco design, this depiction of a nude couple standing in a landscape with fractured hills and clouds was created by Glidden Parker, most famous for his influence on modern ceramics and home design. Parker's stripped-down, geometric forms for tableware and decorative ware became widely popular in the 1940s and 1950s, and his earliest pieces sometimes have Art Deco decorative motifs. This drawing precedes the establishment of Glidden Pottery...

"Allegory, " Art Deco-Cubist Drawing with Multiple Nude Male Figures, circa 1920s
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Superbly conceived and executed, this Cubist-influenced Art Deco drawing shows four nude male figures, three below in various stages of surprise and exclamation, and a Christ-like figure above, gesturing to them in peace. The scene may be a modern day allusion to several Biblical stories of the risen Christ appearing to his followers, including on the road to Emmaus...

"Summoned Reverie, " Superb Surrealist Painting with Nudes by Ames, 1939
By Arthur Ames
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Painted in soft, dreamlike colors and depicting a magical landscape of attenuated nude figures dominated by a painter and his muse, this extremely fine Surrealist work was painted by Arthur Ames in 1939. Here he used egg tempera on gesso-finished board -- a favorite medium among painters such as Paul Cadmus, Jared French and others in the 1930s, 40s and 50s -- to create a highly detailed view of an imagined landscape. Behind the central couple and the painting on its easel, there is a retreating woman in a flowing, Classical robe, and in the far distance a couple embracing on a mountain top. Ames was born in the Midwest but studied on the West Coast and became a California artist through and through; he participated in the Federal Art Project, and worked with his fiancée, Jean Goodwin...
