Georges Lepape, Art Deco Theatre Costume Design with Greek Mythological Figures, 1920

With stylistic confidence, French Artist Georges Lepape created three highly inventive and masterfully imaginative Art Deco figures based on Ancient Greek history. The work was for a theatrical presentation and featured three characters: Éthea, Philigra, and Ops. Each figure was designed to have a distinct visual identity yet still relate to the other figures as a group. They are presented on the page as if lined up on a stage with a seamless background. Text describing them is penciled in below, reflecting avant-garde theatrical aesthetics of the Art et Action movement. Signed lower left and inscribed on verso. Presented in a two-tone stepped wooden rectangular frame. Framed size 30.5 x 22.63
Toning and surface issues commensurate with age.
