About the Item

Bold and striking, this large 1950s painting of a nude male youth, executed in black gouache or charcoal on a rich, deep red ground, was made by Christopher Clark. The artist is best known for his Art Deco paintings, and indeed he worked with Donald Deskey to paint murals for Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Clark painted WPA murals in the 1930s, did illustration art for Forbes magazine, and ultimately settled down on the west coast of Florida to teach and paint. He was especially interested in the male figure, and painted portraits and nudes throughout his career. This piece is especially large and impressive; the painting is signed and dated in the lower lefthand corner. The painting retains its original frame and linen-wrapped liner. Dimensions include matte and frame; visible painting is 39 inches high by 19.25 inches wide.

"Dancer at Rest, " Large Painting of Half-Nude Male Ballet Dancer, Mid Century

Located in Philadelphia, PA

Large and striking, this painting by Robert Childers presents a reclining ballet dancer, clothed above the waist in a dancer's sleeveless shirt, but nude below, holding a pink ribbon and accompanied by three wire-back chairs. Enigmatic and full of symbolism, the dancer is facing away from the viewer so his expression cannot be seen; the three chairs with heart-shaped backs suggest that the man may be in love. Childers himself had been a dancer for two years; he also studied painting at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and Fleisher Art Memorial, all in Philadelphia. Later he led a peripatetic life, designing for greeting card companies, and creating fabrics, toys and illustrations at one time or another in New York and elsewhere. The painting is oil on canvas, and retains its original wormy chestnut frame...
