"On the Waterfront", Nine Sailors at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, 1946 Oil Painting
About the Item
Painted just after the end of World War II in a style that could be called Art Deco meets Mid Century, this striking painting depicts nine sailors in their Navy uniforms, most of them quietly conversing while one of them is seated, reading the newspaper. Sited at the legendary Brooklyn Navy Yard, the sailors are standing on a pier with the Manhattan skyline behind them. The figures have an attenuated, Mannerist appearance, with long legs, broad shoulders and statuesque faces. The painting is oil on canvas and dated "1946." It is signed, though the signature is difficult to decipher. (Dimensions include frame.)

"Shore Leave, " Large Art Deco Mural with Sailors at New Orleans Brothel, 1940s
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most striking and remarkable Art Deco paintings we have ever offered, this depiction of a group of 1940s sailors visiting a New Orleans brothel is full of boisterous energy and strong color, providing an amused and amusing view of Navy life during or after World War II. The sailors -- in their tight white pants and youthful swagger -- are enjoying the company of an array of brothel workers, reigned over by a madam dressed in ruby red, with two young paramours to her side. Taking it all in is a group of jeering young men in straw hats to the right, and a young gay...
