"Music, " High Accomplished Painting with Multiple Nudes by Conner, 1946
About the Item
This detailed and highly-finished study by John Ramsey Conner for an allegorical painting depicts a relaxed grouping of nude figures executed in pale tones of ivory, mossy green and flesh was owned by Walter E. Baum, the renowned Bucks County, Pennsylvania landscapist. Baum himself posed nude for the adult male figure, accompanied by two female nudes one based on a professional model -- and one seated nude boy, seen in profile. The poses are refined and beautifully captured, clearly drawing on Renaissance and Classical models. The painting went from the Baum collection to Sigmund Kardas, Jr., who maintained collections in Spain and Trenton, New Jersey. Conner studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and won a medal for his work exhibited at the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1926. His works are in the collections of the Academy and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The painting is oil on canvas.

- "Summoned Reverie, " Superb Surrealist Painting with Nudes by Ames, 1939By Arthur AmesLocated in Philadelphia, PAPainted in soft, dreamlike colors and depicting a magical landscape of attenuated nude figures dominated by a painter and his muse, this extremely fine Surrealist work was painted by Arthur Ames in 1939. Here he used egg tempera on gesso-finished board -- a favorite medium among painters such as Paul Cadmus, Jared French and others in the 1930s, 40s and 50s -- to create a highly detailed view of an imagined landscape. Behind the central couple and the painting on its easel, there is a retreating woman in a flowing, Classical robe, and in the far distance a couple embracing on a mountain top. Ames was born in the Midwest but studied on the West Coast and became a California artist through and through; he participated in the Federal Art Project, and worked with his fiancée, Jean Goodwin...Category
