Oliver Jochumsen

A beautiful and mysterious original art deco period oil on canvas, titled on verso Vanity. Art is signed in upper left, as seen, and appears to be Jochumsen. I believe the artist was a Oliver C. Jochumsen who worked in Philadelphia and later mover to Arizona and was a painter there of some merit, so much in fact the Arizona watercolor society currently awards the “Oliver C. Jochumsen” honor to new emerging artists. A delightful, Art Deco nude rendering with swans, which borrows from the Leda And The Swan motif. I cannot tell you more about this work other than that it is vintage, 1920’s, and really wonderful as a decorative art piece or perhaps as a published piece in Vanity Fair or Vogue, or another period publication.
