Description

A large and impressive vintage Adam and Eve nude art deco oil painting by Appel, after the famous oil painting by Tamara De Lempicka. Framed in gold with crackle finish.

Adam and Eve is an oil on panel painting by a Polish Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka. It was completed in 1932 and is a religious subject based on the Art Deco style. The orginal painting is housed in a private collection. Lempicka was fond of repeating certain interesting stories about the creation of Adam and Eve. The inspiration for this painting arose when a professional female model took a break to eat an apple. Lempicka asked her to hold the pose and started to sketch. She then invited a policeman who was making his rounds in the streets to pose for Adam.

Condition

Very good.
