"Maternal Love, " Gorgeous 1930s Art Deco Painting with Mother and Two Sons
About the Item
One of the most beautiful and tender depictions of maternal love from the Art Deco period that we have ever seen, this richly-toned oil painting by Gino Conti portrays a mother with her two sons, one on her knee and the other standing by her side. The tilt of the mother's head toward her younger child, and her arm around the legs of the older, is lovingly rendered, and everything is expressed in a rich palette of deep red, teal blue, pale lime green and purple. The artist was Gino Conti, an Italian-born artist who grew up in Rhode Island, studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, and spent a lifetime teaching and painting in Providence. He is best known for a series of highly-stylized Art Deco murals at the University of Rhode Island; years later they were covered over before being rediscovered and restored about 20 years ago. The painting is signed in the lower lefthand corner. (Dimensions include the frame; the visible painting itself is 30.75 inches high by 20.75 inches wide.).

- "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
