"Gathering Storm, Dominican Republic, " Large, Color-Saturated Painting, 1930s
About the Item
Full of color and drama and boldly demonstrating his mastery of watercolor this painting by Wilmot Heitland of a shirtless Dominican on the beach next to a wood hut is the finest we have seen by this artist. The array of greens, golds and rusts that Heitland uses to conjure up the palm trees and lush vegetation, and the brilliant blues in the sky which are giving way to the coming storm, show once again that he was one of the finest watercolorists of his day. When he wasn't painting high society scenes for the illustrations he did for countless magazines in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Heitland loved to capture the natives, as he does here, in tropical locales such as Hawaii and the Dominican Republic. (Dimensions include matte and frame.)

- "Five Josephs, " Important Art Deco Painting w/ Male Nudes, Provincetown, 1930sBy William L'EngleLocated in Philadelphia, PAAn extraordinary example of Art Deco painting with allegorical meaning -- like so many murals painted in the 1920s and 1930s -- this large work by William L'Engle depicts five nude male figures laboring in the field, symbolizing life in Provincetown, Massachusetts. A Black male figure in the foreground is planting crops, while two other figures in the distance are pulling a rope, perhaps alluding to fishing boats tied up at the dock, while another nude seems to be sinking into sleep beneath a pier -- all with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the background. L'Engle called this "The Five Josephs," perhaps referring to Joseph of Arimathea and other figures in the New Testament. William L'Engle was a towering figure in the Provincetown art colony, and was extremely well connected with 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 and Mary McCarthy, William and Marguerite Zorach, Edna St. Vincent-Millay, Charles Demuth, Childe Hassam, George Biddle, Edwin Dickinson...Category
