            Published Oscar de Mejo Painting "Christmas Scene" 1987

            Est: $5,000 - $7,500

            Oscar de Mejo (Italian-born American, 1911-1992). "Christmas Scene" oil on canvas, 1987. Signed and dated at lower right. A lively painting by Oscar de Mejo depicting a Christmas theme which was published on the cover of "Town & Country Magazine" in 1987, the same year that de Mejo painted it. The composition features Santa Claus enjoying and perhaps hosting a holiday feast, joined by a party of finely dressed ladies and gentleman at the holiday table. Adding to the celebration are three elaborately decorated Christmas trees and a pair of winged angels blowing trumpets to announce the birth of Jesus Christ to the world, as Santa and company toast the occasion. All is rendered in de Mejo's signature folk art style with a vibrant palette and precisely delineated details, mounted in a custom frame of an attractive design with a gold and black finish. Size (sight view): 23.5" L x 19.5" W (59.7 cm x 49.5 cm) Size (frame): 33" L x 28.75" W (83.8 cm x 73 cm) About the artist: "Oscar De Mejo, who was born in Trieste, Italy, had degrees in both law and political science. A believer in the occult and particularly in I Ching, he even chose his art dealer, Ken Nahan, according to the I Ching's advice. After World War II, he married the movie star Alida Valli (Italy's answer to Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich), and they moved to the United States. After a stint as a jazz composer, De Mejo finally returned to his first love-painting. De Mejo's paintings are a mesmerizing mixture of the naive and the sophisticated, the literal and the outlandish. They are primitive in the sense of being direct, playful, brightly colored, and precisely delineated. His work is sophisticated in its choice of themes and the degree to which it is artfully influenced by the primitive. His witty, whimsical depictions of American life are immediately engaging, but upon closer observation their complexity becomes fully apparent, and his unique brand of surrealism is revealed. The myriad irrational and incongruous details that fill his paintings prod both the conscious and unconscious mind. Oscar De Mejo learned about vision and subtle distortion by studying the work of such naive painters as Henri Rousseau, just as Rufino Tamayo learned how to disembody his peasants by studying Picasso. De Mejo's works have been featured in such publications as the New York Times, Yale Literary Magazine, Architectural Digest, and many more."

It is 'primitive' in the sense of being direct, playful, brightly colored and precisely delineated. It is 'sophisticated' in its choice of themes - and the degree to which it is artfully influenced by the 'primitive.'De Mejo learned things about vision and subtle distortion by studying the work of such naive painters as Bombots and Rousseau, just as Tamayo learned how to disembody his peasants by studying Picasso, or Picasso, in turn, had gone to school to the African sorcerers - and with as much right.
