This Is My Glasgow

I love this chamfered corner on James Monro and Son's 1929 shop and warehouse on Argyle Street in Glasgow. While the style is clearly Art Deco, it continues a long Glaswegian tradition of feature corners at important junctions, and it reminds me of the colums of recessed corner bow windows favoured the likes of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson some 70 years previously, and which can be seen on his 1857 terrace on Walmer Crescent on the Southside of Glasgow.

Your art history post for today: by Demetre Chiparus (Romanian, 1886-1947), three views of “Thaïs,” ca. 1925, parcel-silvered, parcel-gilt and cold-painted bronze and ivory, on onyx base, height 22in (56cm), length 24in (61cm), photo: Christie’s London, 26 Oct 2016. #arthistory #artdeco #artnouveau #sculpture

From a listing by Bonhams London: “Thais' a Rare Art Deco Patinated Bronze and Carved Ivory Model of an Exotic Dancer, circa 1925
she is depicted posing on one knee with arms outstretched, dressed in pleated costume with draped sleeves, her figure hugging bodice enhanced with raised ornamentation, her neck encrusted with layers of necklace in a silver patination, raised off an elaborate marble base.”
