Art Deco Couple In Front of Black and White Art Deco Architecture, ca. 1930s

Art Deco Illustrator Charles Perry Weimer creates a powerfully graphic depiction of a 1930s couple in front of a classic Art Deco building with a clock face. This work is particularly relevant in today's artworld, where few artists can do tight renderings with carefully composed compositions and proper perspective. The emanating white lines from the building's roof into a black sky give a sense of dynamic energy to the work. Weimers technique is evocative of more than a typical Art Deco work and moves into a more dreamlike, surrealist style. Signed lower right. Framed under plexi. Overall good condition with some uneven distribution of ink and some light toning and a few light surface soiling spots
