About the Item
This is a masterfully rendered and brilliantly designed scene from the Arabian Nights. Page 33 from Random House. We are not sure if this is by Gustaf Tenggren. However, there are supporting references from other Tenggren books he illustrated that match this post-art deco style. Most importantly, this work represents a high level and artistic skill that only a few illustrators/artists possess. Given the complexity of his other compositions, this could very well be by the hand of the Swedish-American artist, famous for his fairy-tale style. Random House moved these illustrations into post-production. We have the lithographer's notes and 4 colors markups, registration marks and proofs based on this original black and white illustration we present here. We cannot find the final published version online. What does that mean? Perhaps it was not published. Maybe it was and has not been indexed on the internet, or was published in another language. That being said, the illustrations for the Arabian Nights presented here are of the highest artistic quality. There are very few, if any, artists living today who possess the skills to do this. Work is unframed. - Unsigned

Tales of the Arabian Nights with Flying Carpet - Random House Gustaf Tenggren
By Gustaf Tenggren
Located in Miami, FL
Gustaf Tenggren- Attributed This masterfully designed and graphic interpretation of the Arabian Nights saga features a monumental figural profile while small figures float above on a magic carpet. Gustaf Tenggren (American 1896-1970) Attributed - We are not certain if Tenggren did this work. There is stylistic evidence to support Tenggren. It's the brilliance factor of how he assembles all the elements of the work and composes it into a cogent and readable form. This says Tenggen. As a former New York advertising agency art director, I have seen artists work in different styles. Usually this is not the case but great artist can do it. Their styles can change but the brilliance remains.

Abd Elmalak’s diverse portfolio exemplifies not only his versatility, but perhaps even more importantly his unique ability to blend the conventional and unconventional in thoughtful harmony, which esteemed Modernist and author Hussein Bicar (1913-2002) deemed a “highly intelligent duality between the kinetics of the universe and its stillness.”
The selection of Abd Elmalak’s drawings is reflective of a compositional method that is based on free-flowing and distinct lines and contours that he uses to amalgamate caricature-Esque female figures with monuments and landmarks from his travels, script, animals, and natural elements into interconnected and unified tapestries. His selected paintings explore themes of entrapment, companionship, oppression, emancipation, and faith, which he explores and animate through his demure and virtuous women subjects...
