Description
Decorative room screen, Fehér-Rose 1930, approximately 62" x 62", in Art Deco motif, central figure of woman holding a violin surrounded by classic leaf and concentric circular elements. The figure stands on a marvelous series of concentric fluid wave forms, detailed with varied texture and thickness. She is surrounded by sensitive scrolls and delicate elements of floral motif in contrast to the balance of the screen. These are accented by leaf and lotus details so typical of the Deco period. Of particular note is the hallmark restraint used by Paul Fehér and Martin Rose in balancing positive and negative space, most clearly noticed in the side panels. The framework and elements are made of silver plated steel; the central female figure is gold plated carved and tooled brass. A velvet rear curtain hangs from the top as a backdrop to the entire piece.
