About the Item
Quintessentially western and modern and yet hinting at classical Chinese painting also, this double portrait of two stylized women, one holding a pink peony blossom, is a lovely example of decorative Art Deco work. The figures are expressed in lovely shades of gouache, while the background and highlights are executed in silver paint. The painter may have been Margaret Thomas, an English painter active in the 1930s. (Dimensions include matte and frame.).

2 Women Engaged in Dialogue

Walden was an important figure in the German avant-garde, being the publisher of the journal Der Sturm which featured the works of Franz Marc, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall and Oskar Kokoschka.
