About the Item

This depiction of a seated male dancer, his dark eyes looking intently into the distance, was made by Emlen Etting, a Philadelphia artist who was active in the decades after World War II. Etting was fascinated with dancers and dancing, sailors and workers, and had a fluid style that captured the energy and dynamism of his subjects. He exhibited, over a long lifetime of painting, in more than 30 one-man and multiple-artist shows in Philadelphia, New York, Paris and elsewhere. He traveled in a prestigious circle of artists, writers and wealthy clients, and his works were purchased by museums and collectors such as Walter Annenberg, Helen Hayes and Mary Clark Rockefeller. The drawing is pencil on paper.

"Seated Man, Two Positions", Drawing of Half-Nude Male Figure by Ulen, 1930s

By Paul Ulen

Located in Philadelphia, PA

Beautifully and sensitively drawn by Paul Ulen, this single sheet includes two images of a half-nude male figure, seated and reclining, wearing loose worker pants and sporting a fashionable 1930s haircut. In each case, the figure's strong, muscular body is expressed in tones of light and shadow, confidently drawn in pencil. The gridded background suggests that the figures were studies for a larger wall mural, and indeed, a major mural-esque painting by Ulen, "Bricklayer at Rest," perhaps depicting the same model, is also available from Renaissance Man Antiques...
