Original Description
McClelland Barclay’s Couple Waterskiing is a vibrant celebration of leisure and romance in the Art Deco era. Painted in the 1930s, the artwork encapsulates the exuberance of modern life during the interwar period, with its sleek, streamlined forms and dynamic composition. Barclay, renowned for his commercial illustrations and pin-up art, infuses the scene with motion—the couple glides across crystalline waters, their figures elongated and stylized in typical Deco fashion. The bold colors—azure blues, sun-kissed golds, and creamy whites—evoke a sense of endless summer and carefree luxury. As part of the broader American illustration movement, Barclay’s work bridged fine art and advertising, making Couple Waterskiing a nostalgic yet timeless piece that reflects both artistic innovation and pop culture of its time.
For interior styling, Couple Waterskiing shines in spaces that embrace retro-chic or coastal aesthetics. Ideal for a sunroom, living area, or even a boutique office, the painting’s lively energy pairs well with sleek mid-century furniture or rattan accents. Frame it in a thin, brushed-gold or matte black frame to complement its Deco roots, and hang it at eye level as a focal point. Its aquatic blues harmonize with navy upholstery or sandy neutrals, while the pops of warm tones invite coral or mustard throw pillows for balance. A medium-to-large size (e.g., 24”x36”) ensures visibility without overwhelming smaller rooms. For offices, it adds a playful yet sophisticated touch—perfect for creative industries or spaces aiming to inspire joy and movement.
