"Timur 'Imu, " Exotic Asian Fantasy, Art Deco Painting with Male Nudes
About the Item
Mysterious, jewel-toned and sensuous at the same time, this gorgeous gouache painting by Dooley Dionysius depicts a circle of nude men on a sculpted platform, linked together arm in arm, either in solidarity or competition. Contrasting with the warm flesh tones of the figures is a backdrop of gorgeous, cobalt-blue water, pink lily pads, and a temple all in white and tangerine. Every element of the painting is painstakingly detailed, including a frieze of turtles around the cornice of the platform, exotic birds incorporated into the pediment of the temple, and a barge powered by an oarsman in the distance. Dionysius spent much of his artistic life in California, and worked in the animation department of the Disney Studios in the 1930s. (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
