About the Item

Painted in a kaleidoscopic array of brilliant colors -- tangerine, emerald green, scarlet, deep sky blue and black -- this Cubist work depicts a nude female figure and a parrot sitting on a circular perch, surrounded by a crazy quilt of patterns. The artist -- Joseph Popczyk -- was known for his vivid palette and love of Cubism, and in this case the chevrons and wavy patterns of Art Deco can be detected also. The artist was born in Poland and -- like many of his contemporaries in Eastern Europe -- gravitated toward Paris in the 1910s. There, he loved to depict the flash and jazz of club life in Paris, always with verve and energy. This painting is gouache on heavy paper, and is not matted or framed.

"Burlesque and Cubist Composition", Two-Sided Painting by William L'Engle

"Burlesque and Cubist Composition", Two-Sided Painting by William L'Engle

By William L'Engle

Located in Philadelphia, PA

Brilliant and memorable, this painting has two sides: a scene of nude burlesque dancers, ornamented in red feathers and red shoes on one side, and on the other, a highly abstract, Cubist composition in tones of taupe, wine, pale green and black. The artist was William L'Engle, and clearly he considered the Cubist composition more important, because it has a hand-painted border and is monogrammed. L'Engle was a towering figure in the Provincetown art colony, and was extremely well connected to 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...

One of the most brilliantly-hued paintings by Albert Gleizes we have seen, this highly abstract Cubist work is a rotating knot of curving forms in periwinkle, carmen, olive green, sky blue, burnt sienna and grey flannel, as vivid now as when it was painted a hundred years ago.
