About the Item
Best known for sculpting the massive "Harvest" mural for the exterior of the main Food Building at the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair, as well as a series of bas relief sculptures in 1936 for the Texas Centennial Exposition, another World's Fair in Dallas, Pierre Bourdelle's works epitomize stylized Art Deco sculpture at its best. This unique, remarkable panel depicts four Zodiac symbols -- Taurus, Leo, Pisces and Libra -- in sculpted, glazed linoleum mounted on wood, using a process developed by Bourdelle and documented in an article published in Popular Mechanics in 1940. The Zodiac signs were given an old-gold gilding as well. Pierre was the son of Emile Antoine Bourdelle, who was famous for his "Archer" sculpture and participated in the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, which gave the Art Deco style its name.

"Lion and Bull", Art Deco-Medieval Decorative Painting in Greys and Burnt Sienn
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A marvelous example of Romanesque-Medieval bas relief sculpture interpreted by an American artist in the 1920s, this painting on fabric was executed by Dunbar Beck, the famous muralist.
