Tropic Evening

Tropic Evening by the Italian American artist John LaGatta (1894-1977). La Gatta was famous for his glamour girls from the 20s through the early 40s, published in fashion and women's magazines.

Green Lady

Nue allongée sur un canapé - Sonia Speranza (c.1915) by the French painter Paul-César Helleu (1859-1927), who was famous for his women portraits.

Lazy Girl

La Paresseuse (the lazy one) by the French painter Guillaume Seignac (1870 - 1924). One of Seignac’s Neo-Rococo nudes with a transparent shawl, which he did so well.

Amazonian Warrior

An Amazonian Warrior (1929) by the French American artist Andre Durenceau (1904-1985). It’s a impressive exotic art deco fantasy.

Skin like Silk

A nude by the Spanish impressionist painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863-1923). Most impressive is here the semblance between the skin and the silken sheets.

Diana

Diana by the French painter Paul Désiré Trouillebert (1831-1900). Above all it’s a nude. Only bow and quiver indicate that it should be the Goddess of hunting.

Stunning Nude

A really stunning nude by the Hungarian American painter Pal Fried (1893–1976), who was specialized in nudes and Oriental scenes.

Moonlight Beauties

Two Moonlight Beauties by the Spanish painter Luis Ricardo Falero (1851-1896). The connections between Falero and modern fantasy art are obvious.

Perfume of Ecstasy

Perfume of Ecstasy an impressive Art Deco poster by the Hungarian born British artist Vera Willoughby (1870-1939).

Horny Monk

A monk with a beguine (1591) by the Dutch Golden Age painter Cornelis Corneliszoon van Haarlem (1562- 1638).
It’s a radical protestant and anti-Catholic painting. But anyway it’s one of my favorites.

Another Girl Same Manner

Another reclining nude by the French academic painter Delphin Enjolras (1857–1945). Enjolras used a lot of times the same tricks, the same poses, maybe the same girls.

Harem Dancer

A really gorgeous exotic dancer by the American artist Earle K. Bergey (1901–1952). Bergey worked normally as an illustrator for magazines and paperback books. But here it’s easy to be seen, that he’s a lot better than many of his academic colleagues.
