"Europa and the Bull", Art Deco Masterwork of Marquetry by Szoeke, 1939
About the Item
This masterwork of marquetry or inlaid wood -- in stunning, interlocking pieces of burled walnut and maple, mahogany and beech -- depicts Europa riding the bull, a classic story from Greek mythology. The artist was Andrew Szoeke, who was America's greatest practitioner of inlaid wood artistry in the Art Deco period, his only rivals being a group of artists in Sweden. Szoeke, a Hungarian-American artist, is also known for a series of felt applique and wood pieces that featured Zodiac symbols, again drawing from mythological sources. The piece is signed and dated on one edge.

Andrew Szoeke
Born in 1893, Andrew Szoeke was an American artist and furniture maker best known for his mid-century style designs. Szoeke, who was admired in his day as one of the great graphic artists of America, put his mastery of form and silhouette to work in furniture, type design, graphic design and fine arts. His artisanry reached its peak in his elaborate furniture and decorative objects, which featured his tour de force wood inlay, as here.
