Original Description
"D'apres Alexander" by Eloise Polk McGill is a captivating mid-20th century artwork that embodies the elegance and decorative sophistication of postwar American design. Inspired by classical motifs reinterpreted through modernist sensibilities, this painting likely references the neoclassical revival trends popular among decorators like Sister Parish and the "Alexandre" style associated with French Empire influences. McGill's composition typically features refined linear elements, harmonious color palettes, and a balanced tension between historical reverence and contemporary abstraction characteristic of transitional 1950s design. The work exemplifies how postwar American artists synthesized European design heritage with emerging modernist tendencies, creating pieces that bridged traditional interiors with more progressive spaces. Situated art historically, it represents the commercial yet cultured decorative arts movement that flourished alongside Abstract Expressionism, serving affluent clients who wanted accessible modernism with classical roots.
For interior placement, "D'apres Alexander" would excel as a statement piece in both traditional and transitional spaces. Its ideal setting would be a study with rich wood paneling or a formal living room, where its classical references could dialogue with Georgian furniture or streamlined mid-century pieces. The painting's likely muted tones (soft golds, grays, or blues) would complement both warm neutrals and bold accent colors like emerald or saffron. A medium-to-large size (approximately 24"x36") would maintain presence without overwhelming, positioned as a focal point above a console or flanked by sconces. In offices, it would confer quiet authority in executive spaces when paired with brass accents and tailored upholstery, working particularly well with the post-2010 "new traditional" design movement that revives cultured eclecticism.
