About the Item

Author of "How Cañedo Draws the Figure" and one of the acknowledged masters of the nude in the Art Deco and Mid-Century periods, Alexander Cañedo painted this remarkable scene of two female nudes in a sea of white drapery in the 1940s or 1950s. Born Alejandro de Cañedo to an American mother and Mexican father, and trained in France and Italy, the artist was a remarkable prodigy from an early age, exhibiting in Rome and New York starting in the 1920s and 1930s. He had solo exhibitions for Walter P. Chrysler's gallery in New York and for Gump's in San Francisco and ultimately settled in California. He also became known for his illustrations for science fiction magazines such as Astounding. This unusual and very fine painting is beautifully presented in a double-linen matte. (Dimensions include mattes and frame).
