About the Item
Sensuous, finely rendered and full of mystery, this very rare signed print by Andrey Avinoff was one of several he created for "The Fall of Atlantis," a monumental and fantastical poem by George Golokhvastoff published in 1944. Each of Avinoff's images centered around a handsome, lithe nude male youth -- The Spirit of Atlantis -- shown her standing on a monumental, dark mask, with flame-engulfed bubble forms cascading down around him. The publication notes: "The Spirit of Atlantis is portrayed in the Siva posture. Over the black mask from which the Spirit emerges, arise many crystal spheres enveloped in flames, the topmost of which is the fiery orb of the Ankh." Avinoff was born in Russia and played an important role in the Czar's government, but the Communist revolution prompted him to make a new home in America. He was an artist-scientist, directing the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, becoming known around the world for his knowledge of butterflies, and creating remarkable art such as this print. (Dimensions include matte and frame; image itself is 15.5 inches high by 12 inches wide.).

"Art Deco/Art Nouveau Nudes, " Rare Prints with Silver
Gold Highlights by Coyle
By Ray Frederick Coyle
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This remarkable and stunning set of six sensuous prints, highlighted in gold and silver ink, was published and bound by John Henry Nash in 1926 to honor the life of his frequent collaborator, Ray Frederick Coyle. Coyle had died an early death, prompting Nash to issue this volume in a limited edition of 210 (this example is number 54), dedicating it to Albert Maurice Bender and William Randolph Keltie Young. Nash had established his own press 10 years before, and was dubbed by one admirer "The Aldus of San Francisco." Coyle illustrated several books published by Nash, including "Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice" and "The Sermon on the Mount...
