"Guinea Baboon, " Masterpiece of Art Deco Painting in Lacquer by Margat, 1938
About the Item
A year after André Margat received a gold medal for his lacquerwork at the Exposition Universelle of 1937, the artist painted this beautiful and expressive depiction of a guinea baboon, native to Guinea, Senegal, Gambia and Mauritania in West Africa. Margat exhibted at the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, the Salon des Artistes Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne as a young artist, but he became increasingly interested in lacquerwork, parallel with renowned practitioners such as Jean Dunand. This large depiction of a baboon captures the intelligence and nobility of this animal, an appreciation that is more widely shared today. The lacquer panel is mounted on a larger wood panel, and is framed in parchment, i.e., goat skin. (Dimensions include parchment surround; lacquer panel itself is 23 inches high by 15.25 inches wide.).

- "Satyr and Nymph", Art Deco Masterpiece Painting with Nudes in Paradise, 1932Located in Philadelphia, PAOne of the most sensual and brilliant Art Deco paintings in the French manner that we have ever offered, this idyllic scene of Satyr and Nymph, lounging under a fruited tree with lush fields in the distance, was painted by Gheorghe Labin in 1932. Labin was one of Romania's avant-garde artists in the 1920s and 1930s, and clearly he trained in Paris, because the lush scene, brilliant palette, and confident brush strokes indicate an intimate familiarity with the leading painters associated with what we now call Art Deco. This painting was entered into the Salon Bucarest in 1932, in a period when Labin exhibited with Mattis Teutsch, the de facto leader of Romania's modern painters, together with Corneliu Baba...Category
