A striking pair of mid-century classical wall relief plaques produced by Newman Art Industries of North Hollywood, California, circa 1950s. Each sculptural relief is mounted on board and set within a carved wood frame, highlighting iconic Greco-Roman imagery.
The male relief depicts Zeus, rendered with deeply modeled hair and beard. The companion female relief evokes Medusa, with softly serpentine hair and a calm, sculptural expression. The pairing reflects the Neoclassical revival favored in Hollywood Regency interiors during the post-war era.
The reverse retains the original Newman Art Industries studio label, noting the works were issued as a matched set of two, reinforcing authenticity and provenance.
These plaques are highly decorative and versatile—ideal flanking a doorway, anchoring a library wall, or adding architectural depth to a traditional or eclectic interior.
