Original Description
William Sommer’s Two Ladies is a captivating early 20th-century modernist painting that exudes warmth and introspection. Created around 1915–1918 during Sommer’s association with the Cleveland modernist movement, the work reflects his unique blend of Fauvist color intensity and Cubist fragmentation, softened by a lyrical, almost dreamlike quality. The painting depicts two female figures in a harmonious, abstracted space, their forms simplified yet expressive, rendered in vibrant hues and bold outlines that evoke emotional depth. Sommer, influenced by European avant-garde trends and American Regionalism, bridged avant-garde experimentation with Midwestern sensibilities, making Two Ladies a significant example of early American modernism. Though less widely known than his contemporaries like Marsden Hartley, Sommer’s contributions to Ohio’s artistic legacy are increasingly recognized, with this piece embodying his innovative yet accessible approach.
For decorating spaces, Two Ladies would shine in a mid-century modern or boho-chic interior, where its bold colors and abstract forms could take center stage. Ideal for a living room or study, its warm palette—think ochres, deep blues, and muted greens—pairs beautifully with natural wood tones, leather accents, or textured textiles like linen or wool. Choose a medium-to-large wall (the original is roughly 20 x 24 inches) to allow its details to breathe, ideally lit by soft, indirect lighting to enhance its emotive glow. Frame it in a slim, matte black or walnut frame to modernize its vintage charm without overpowering the composition. In an office, it would inspire creativity alongside minimalist furniture, while in a bedroom, its soothing yet lively energy could create a calming focal point. Balance its intensity with neutral walls or muted patterns to let Sommer’s artistry captivate without competing.
