Vintage (1938) Dated Original Art : Surrealist Graphite Pencil Sketch on Paper - Unsigned.
Dated September 22, 1938. Minimalist, stylized nude figure balances a highly detailed table lamp directly on its head. Second nude figure kneels in front of the first, holding up a small bowl or offering cup. Lightly sketched, ghostly female figure stands in a classic contrapposto pose to the right. Dreamlike juxtaposition of a mundane object - lamp - combined with classical, ritualistic human forms strongly aligns with the Surrealist movement of the 1930s.
In good vintage condition. Unframed. Artist is Grace Alice Gassert from when she was studying at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art. Artwork utilizes spare, fluid line work and gentle shading, which is highly reminiscent of early 20th-century European avant-garde styles. Surrealist Illustrator. Aging + texture of the paper - authentic mid 20th-century. Spare, Elegant Contours. Stylistic Characteristics.
Measurements : 12” x 8.75”
Price Includes Shipping.
