Full of symbolism and allegory, the interior features sheep and nude figures who are in deep sleep or some kind of euphoric stupor. Some figures are painted in a silvery white, as if lit by the moon, and others are suffused in a golden lifelike...

"Burlesque and Cubist Composition", Two-Sided Painting by William L'Engle
By William L'Engle
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Brilliant and memorable, this painting has two sides: a scene of nude burlesque dancers, ornamented in red feathers and red shoes on one side, and on the other, a highly abstract, Cubist composition in tones of taupe, wine, pale green and black. The artist was William L'Engle, and clearly he considered the Cubist composition more important, because it has a hand-painted border and is monogrammed. L'Engle was a towering figure in the Provincetown art colony, and was extremely well connected to America's artistic elite, starting with his trip to Europe as a young man with Waldo Pierce and George Biddle. Over time, William and his life Lucy became close to a wide range of important figures in painting, theater and the arts, including Charles Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neill, Gerrit Beneker, John Dos Passos, Edmund Wilson...
