(emma parker) nordell american (1876-1958) floral still life with morning glories watercolor signed lower right. biography from the archives of askart: a popular female artist who specialized in the depiction of flowers, children and landscapes in watercolor, emma alice parker was born in gardener, massachusetts, in 1876. she was the daughter of thomas s. and antoinette parker. after graduation from providence, rhode island high school, she enrolled at the rhode island school of design* in 1895. her studies there were under stacy tolman, who taught anatomy, drawing and painting from life, and, beginning in 1897, from sydney r. burleigh, who taught watercolor. although she officially graduated in 1899, miss parker was awarded a post-graduate scholarship that allowed her to continue her attendance there part-time until 1906. also, having proved herself to be a capable artist, she was asked to help with instruction and in 1899 began teaching cast drawing at the school. parker continued her studies at the art students league* under frank dumond and robert henri; at the chase school of art* in new york city; and at the academie de la grand chaumiere* in paris where her instructors included lucien simon and emile menard. in february of 1910 she is noted as exhibiting with the american woman's art association of paris. she also began to exhibit her watercolors in major exhibitions in cities in the u.s. including chicago, detroit and philadelphia. it was soon after this that she married the artist carl nordell, a fellow artist nine years her junior, who had been an earlier pupil of hers at the rhode island school of design. june miller-spann, in her biography of carl nordell in 2004, commented on their relationship: \"she (emma alice parker) quickly recognized nordell's ability as an artist and must have been allured by his talent and charm. it is unclear exactly when the two began their courtship but based on personal letters and the nordell scrapbooks it would appear that the couple traveled europe together during 1911 when carl was a paige scholar, studying at the academie julian*. according to nordell's letter to albright-knox museum director, miss sage, his marriage to emma parker was to take place on december 24, 1912.\" by 1913 the nordells had returned to boston, taking up residence at #109 fenway studios*, 30 ipswich street. initially, the couple began to spend summers in gloucester, and soon after purchased a home and studio at rocky neck, massachusetts that they titled cathedral pines. while she continued to specialize in water colors, she was equally adept at convincing landscapes studies in oil. in 1920 she had a solo exhibit at the gallery-on-the-moors, the first established outlet for the local artistic colony that had opened in gloucester in 1916. critical reviews always expressed appreciation for her work. in 1919 one wrote: \"?of mrs. nordell's paintings it is not easy to say too much in praise of their intimate charm. they are thoroughly likeable pictures, and, as the saying is, they would be pleasant to live with. exceedingly unpretentious as they are, much thought and study and taste has gone to the making of each canvas.\" from another in 1922: \"rambler roses and all the favorite blooms of a summer garden appear in mrs. nordell's pictures and are faithfully rendered for the artist does not

admirable feeling for the pictorial.\" as for her personal life, exactly when the marriage was ended is not known, but in 1927 carl nordell moved to the former vanderbilt farm \"idle hour\" at oakdale, new york. recently purchased by lucy sawyer pritchard thompson, it had been turned into a living and studio area for artists. mrs. nordell (by now known as polly) was to remain at the fenway studios address for the remainder of her life. she was also to continue spending summers in east gloucester, at a residence called the reed studios. while not a national figure, the artist did exhibit frequently throughout her career. numerous shows were held that featured her watercolors at the doll & richards gallery* in boston, and, after becoming a member of the boston guild of artists in 1940, she exhibited there as late as 1955. she received many awards for her watercolors during her lifetime. in addition to the boston guild of artists, polly nordell was also a member of the providence art club, the north shore arts association*, the providence, boston and new york water color societies* and the copley society* in boston. she died at her home after a short illness on october 14, 1958.

hubbard rich american (1876-1954) still life vessels oil on board signed lower left. biography from the archives of askart: because his family moved from boston to minneapolis, john rich launched his career in america's midwest yet he was born in boston on march 5, 1876. during the period in which john sloan was an illustrator for the philadelphia inquirer and press, the slightly younger john rich was similarly employed at the minneapolis times. in the evenings he attended art classes. convinced of his talent, in 1898 his parents sent him to new york to study at the art students league. he worked there until 1902 under various teachers including robert blum, george bridgman, kenyon cox, frank duveneck, and john h. twachtman. the following three years of instruction under edmund tarbell at the school of the museum of fine arts, boston ended in his winning of the paige traveling scholarship (in 1905) for two years of independent study in europe. also in 1905, he won the ayer prize of $100 \"for the best portrait executed by a regular pupil in the advanced class of painting.\" (bulletin, museum of fine arts, boston, august 1905, p. 26). once in france, rich's sympathies toward impressionism became more pronounced, especially regarding informal contemporary subject matter, which the artist successfully incorporated into his work. apparently, judging from rich's later paintings, the avant-garde art movements in paris of ca. 1905 (including the salon d'automne) had little influence on the artist, who worked in a late, decorative impressionistic style. after his return to america, rich became an instructor at the groton school in boston (1912) and shared a studio with william v. cahill. two years later, rich and cahill moved to los angeles; rich's family had moved from minneapolis to pasadena while he was in europe. the two founded the school for illustrating and painting (hughes, 1985, p. 386). in 1915, rich exhibited the blue kimono (maureen murphy fine arts, santa barbara, california) at the panama-pacific international exposition in san francisco. gerdts and south (1998, p. 191) describe the painting as a \"well-worn subject of an elegantly posed and appointed woman in an interior.\" rich's reputation as a painter expanded locally and later that year, his works were shown at the los angeles museum (15-30 december 1915). several more one-man shows followed. cahill went his separate way in 1918, eventually ending up in san francisco. the remainder of rich's career was spent in southern california and included teaching appointments at the university of southern california and the otis institute. he died in los angeles, on march 30, 1954. while rich's compositions seem to be somewhat contrived, his figures are successfully animated so that they appear to exist in an actual living environment. his application of color, however, seems to be somewhat mechanical. the flowered dress (fleisher museum, scottsdale, arizona), ca. 1920-1926, features a woman in repose, lost in a busy web of decorative patterns. this may represent helen wood, curator of the los angeles museum, and the woman rich married in 1920. rich, perhaps more than other california impressionists, melded the delicate finesse of east coast impressionism to the broad manner of the west coast. in the 1930s, rich's style showed a drastic change. around 1934, he painted we do our part, n.r.a. (ries collection, oakland), in which impressionism has been replaced by the more realistic, hard-edged american scene style. all that remains here of the boston school is the composition, built on elegant curves and counter-curves. sources: moure, nancy dustin wall and lyn smith, dictionary of art and artists of southern california before 1930. glendale, ca: 1984, pp. 208-209; hughes, edan milton, artists in california 1786-1940. san francisco: 1986, pp. 385-386; zellman, michael david. 300 years of american art. secaucus, nj: wellfleet press, 1987, p. 730; oakland museum, a time and place: from the ries collection of california painting. 1990, pp. 46-47, 150-151; gerdts, william h. and will south, california impressionism. new york: abbeville press, 1998, pp. 190, 201, 263; moure, nancy dustin wall, california art: 450 years of painting and other media. los angeles: 1998, pp. 165, 179. submitted by richard h. love and michael preston worley, ph.d. 18\"h x 16\"w(board), 22 3/4\"h x 20 1/4\"w(frame)"},"estimateMax":600,"lotNumber":"42","title":{"en":"john hubbard rich, american (1876-1954), still life vessels, oil on board, 18\"h x 16\"w(board), 22"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/ripleyauctions/source/catalog/auction/72557/lot/21269/view","tags":["usart_paintings","usart","usart_all"],"directSalePrice":100,"lastUpdate":"2026-03-12T00:20:14.386Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$400 -

1951) autumn hills landscape watercolor on paper signed lower right. creases throughout, minor tear on edge. biography from the archives of askart: the following, submitted april 2005, is from edward bentley, art collector and researcher from lansing, michigan. commenting on the appeal of the omaha, nebraska landscape featured in his work, the artist john zwara stated in an interview in 1927: \"we are indebted to nature for everything we have and we should love and enjoy her beauty. people have eyes and see not. they hurry by the most wonderful pictures, the natural beauty of streams, forests and fields.\" but to the people of indiana that is not the artist anyone is familiar with. indeed, the only known artist named zwara was a bedraggled schizophrenic who spoke only through the beauty and appeal of his artwork. furthermore, although indiana has been the location of the majority of the painter's known work, it currently represents only a portion of his life. jan zwara (he changed his name to john upon entry into the u.s.) was born december 27, 1880, in horni stepanov, hungary, now a part of the czech republic. he was the son of joseph and mary zwara. the family eventually moved to turdossin, a city now part of slovakia. his primary education consisted of three years at the grammar school in nearby trsztenen - from 1891 to 1894 - and four years at \"civic\" school (our high school). his father, a wealthy businessman, was able to provide his son with four years of artistic training; one year at the academy of fine art in prague (1900/1901) under professor roubalik, and three more years in poland at the warsaw academy of art. further study has also been mentioned in biographies of the artist that include hungary and berlin, germany but cannot be documented because of the destruction caused by world war ii. commencing his life's work, john zwara took advantage of a brother in chicago who offered to set him up there with his own studio. no doubt he realized the unique opportunity that america presented a beginning artist. coming to this country at about the age of 24, the artist soon succumbed to wanderlust. when his studio was open he would be gone sketching. the studio was a failure. for the next eighteen years he workedand wandered. in 1928 the \"omaha world-herald\" published an article by bobbie o'dare - a revealing piece in praise of the artists' paintings that also described how he lived and worked. with help from personal writings kept by zwara, the author traced the artist's route from chicago and pittsburgh to cleveland and wisconson; from ohio and billings, montana to nevada and san bernadino: from los angeles and san francisco to salt lake city and then denver. zwara worked at any and all kinds of menial jobs in mines, smelters, lumber camps, on the railroad and even digging ditches, all the while living in seedy hotels, hovels and even among the hoboes. while time on the job usually varied from several days to several months, he did spend six years on the construction of the los angeles aquaduct. and the jobs could be rather interesting. while in chicago he spent several weeks modeling; \"for the ladies sculpture class, \" declared zwara, with a twinkle in his eye. commenting on his wanderings zwara stated: \"i get tired. i go.\" on one job in california for a mr. dunn, cattle king, he commented: \"i paint his house. i paint him pictures of his ranch till his house is full of them. he tell me to go out and paint the barn. i go, but not to paint that barn.\" it was during his time in salt lake city spray painting locomotives that he entered an exhibit sponsored by the railroad. \"i put in my paintings.\" he stated, \" i got first prize and at night the big building burn down, the paintings burn up.\" finally arriving in omaha sometime in 1922, the artist was befriended by albert j. samuelson of the acorn press. samuelson purchased some of zwara's work and helped him sell others. in 1927 he entered four landscapes in the sixth annual exhibition of nebraska artists where one of his paintings was the first to be sold. this was a few months after his \"discovery\" by marion reed, art supervisor for the omaha schools, who declared him a genius. a short time later an exhibit of his work was held in the art department of the anton hospe music publishing company warehouse where 19 of his 22 paintings sold. he was finally a success. but then zwara's constitution began to fail him. the hard lifestyle he had made for himself, the almost fanatical quest for the next sketch, his bad eating habits and eventually his personal hygiene began to change. as late as 1931 the artist maintained a residence in omaha, but by the time of the artists' next \"discovery\" in indiana, the people of omaha would not have known him. in 1931 and 1932 the artist could be found in the salt lake city, utah, area. there he entered his work in the salt lake city museum annual exhibition for 1932 and won a second prize. the wandering vagabond then seems to have landed in indianapolis, indiana, as dates on his landscapes of the local indiana scenery indicate his arrival there by 1933. indianapolis became his new home, and, while zwara continued to take sketching trips, for the remainder of his life he returned there. numerous trips were made to nashville, indiana - the brown county area - and as far as knoxville, tennessee and other areas are noted on works that have turned up at auction. zwara's first contact in indianapolis seems to have been with the lieber company, who sold art supplies and also bought and sold artwork. the company sold his paintings and watercolors and also gave him a place to call a studio. kurt lieber, having known the artist, stated in an interview in 1976: \"he had a fine talent and didn't seem to give a damn about money. when we started, we gave him a dollar per painting and sold them for five. we framed them and made a little on the frames.\" as far as subjects, lieber recalled: \"zwara had no favorite subjects - if it would sell he painted it. he went to brown county for the lieber firm and brought back a sizable portfolio.\" zwara apparently had a similar arrangement with the lyman brothers, incorporated - also art dealers - for sale of his work a few years later. it was also in 1934 that zwara was befriended and \"taken in\" by alex vonnegut. he had met the artist after seeing his work for sale in the windows of the h. lieber company. zwara's fall into schizophrenia, or dementia praecox as it was initially labeled, was by then complete. he apparently lived by sleeping in the streets and subsisting on a diet of bread and coffee. vonnegut described zwara at his first meeting as \"a lone man. his glasses were terribly messed up with dirt and with scratcheshis hair was terribly messed up.\" in the spring of 1938 vonnegut, in attempting to help zwara with his problems, had him admitted to the indiana central state hospital. in a letter to the superintendent there vonnegut stated: \"during the last months he has become a financial burden on those who tried to help him to eke out a livelihood. he is hopelessly inarticulate in his speech, but a consummate master with his brushes and watercolors.\" on zwara's admission papers he added the following: \"since i have known the patient, he has been almighty queer; incapable of handling money. language is one of his great difficulties; (he) has apparently forgotten his native tongue and can give an account of himself only incoherently. he lives in a world far removed from the one which most people recognize.\" zwara stayed at that institution for six months, all the while producing numerous watercolor studies of the grounds. then he just walked away - to return to the earlier life he knew. of the artists' life in the 1940's, it is only known that he continued to sketch and paint. somehow he was also able to arrange for his work to be exhibited at the yearly hoosier salon in 1943, 1944 and 1945. toward the end of his life the artist was taken in by the little sisters of the poor of indianapolis. on may 4, 1951, zwara died while in their care as a result of a heart attack. in gentle appreciation of the man and his work, alex vonnegut later commented: \"i was asked by friends, who thought zwara was a very strange person, why i respected the man. because he could paint.\" 8 1/4\"h x 11 1/4\"w(sight), 16\"h x 19\"w(frame)"},"estimateMax":500,"lotNumber":"47","title":{"en":"john zwara, hungary / indiana (1880 -

(keppel was eby's uncle and an important art dealer in new york who helped establish prints as fine art in american. keppel would exhibit hassam's prints until 1932 and was often the exclusive dealer for eby's etchings.) eby is as well known for his first and second world war combat works as he is for his \"peace-time\" works. in 1917, eby enlisted in the u.s. army and served in an ambulance unit

louis dolice austrian (1892 - 1960) three new york cityscape works on paper 2 pastels, and an etching two originals are signed. biography from the archives of askart: the following biography is provided by joe l dolice, son of the artist: the romantic backdrop of vienna at the turn of the century had a life-long influence upon the young man who was someday to be spoken of as showing promise of becoming \"one of the greatest etchers of all time\". leon dolice, born in vienna on august 14, 1892, even as a young boy, preferred the lure of painting to the scholastic studies which his early years had expected of him. his father was a machinist, which exposed the boy to welding and metal crafts. however, his interest in art led him to abandon a secure future in the family business, and he spent most of his late teens and early twenties traveling through the capital cities of europe studying the works of the masters. as with many itinerant artists, he made his way in a variety of fashions metalworker, chef, designer somehow always managing to give vent to his creative instincts. lured by the adventure of crossing the great atlantic and by the freedoms of the new world, he came to america in 1920. there he was greeted by the turbulence of new york in the roaring twenties. finding a retreat in the european bohemianism of greenwich village, he picked the streets of this landmark neighborhood as his first subjects. with the encouragement of new found friends and artists such as george luks and herb roth, he soon ventured out and devoted all his time to chronicling the architecture, back streets, dock scenes and other nostalgia that was fast disappearing from the face of manhattan, mainly in copperplate etchings. a favorite subject for him was the third avenue el near one of his new york city studios on third avenue. he won accolades for his work, and although he traveled the east coast recording landmarks in other cities including washington dc, baltimore, chicago and philadelphia, he always returned to his new home manhattan. a decline in popular favor for etchings led him to put aside his plates in the late 1930's and devote some ten years to pastels, linocuts and painting. his subject matter was almost exclusively new york city street scenes, but figurative works, country scenes and even experiments with abstract expressionism at the height of its new found favor in the 1940's punctuated his career. in 1953, after learning of the forthcoming demise of the third avenue el, in the shadow of which he had maintained his studio for over a decade, he once again took to his plates and press and created a final series of third avenue and or other new york city landmarks that were then threatened with extinction. his work brings to light aspects of nostalgic new york that survives today only in small part, whether in architecture or in spirit. dolice's works are in a number of notable museums and private collections, including the museum of the city of new york; the new york public library print collection; the new york historical society; georgetown university lauinger library; the print club of philadelphia and others. in the past few years, his work has been exhibited at hofstra museum, long island, ny; with the montauk artists' association; montauk, ny and at tribeca gallery new york city. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------- an exhibition of his works on paper was held from february 28 to march 14, 2003 at the belleclaire hotel at 250 west 77th street and broadway in new york city. featuring historic street and landmark scenes of new york city created from 1920 through 1952, it was held as a tribute to new york, which had been sharply in the

paris. biography from lost art gallery: one of the three founders of the modern school of mexican mural painting (along with diego rivera and jos? clemente orozco), david alfaro siquerios has a style that merges the aesthetics of socialist realism, pre-columbian art, cubist handling of forms, and surreal imagery to create compelling and often politically-charged content. for example, in the print heroic voice (1971), the artist depicted a statesman surrounded by socialist imagery representative of the struggle of the proletariat. born on december 29, 1896 in chihuahua city, mexico, sigueriros was a political activist since his youth. he studied at the san carlos academy of fine arts, mexico city, before leaving in 1913 to fight in the army of venustiano carranza during the mexican revolution. shortly thereafter, siqueiros moved to paris where he met diego rivera and came under the influence of artists like paul c?zanne and pablo picasso. he then returned to mexico city and worked as a muralist for ?lvaro obreg?n?s revolutionary government, during which time he joined the syndicate of revolutionary mexican painters, sculptors, and engravers in support of the recent revolution. in 1922, after returning to mexico, siqueiros helped paint the frescoes on the walls of the national preparatory school and also began organizing and leading unions of artists and workingmen. during the spanish civil war (1936?39), siqueiros commanded several brigades for the republicans. over four decades, his labour-union work and his communist political activities led to numerous jailings and periods of exile. in 1940 he was involved in the attempted assassination of trotsky living in exile in mexico. most of siqueiros?s large murals are in government buildings in mexico. his murals are distinguished by great dynamism and compositional movement, monumental size and vigour, sculptural treatment of forms, and a limited colour range that is subordinated to dramatic effects of light and shadow. siqueiros and his followers produced thousands of square metres of vivid wall paintings in which numerous social, political, and industrial changes were portrayed from a left-wing perspective. he commonly used synthetic lacquer colours sprayed from paint guns in order to speed up the process of decorating large public buildings. he also did many easel paintings, the best-known of which is perhaps echo of a cry (1937). at the end of his life, siqueiros participated in the venice biennale. the artist died on january 6, 1974 in cuernavaca, mexico.

zion ukraine, russian federation (1897 - 1987) self? portrait of a bearded man watercolor and ink on thick paper signed lower left. biography from mercury gallery: ben-zion weinman was the son of a polish cantor and composer who raised him for the rabbinate. he became \"ben-zion\" in america after world war i because \"to drag around two names is rather too difficult.\" his beginnings in america are sketched elsewhere in this catalogue by his wife, lillian ben-zion, but in 1983 he told an interviewer from the archives of american art about his discovery by the historic dealer j.b. neumann. \"i see you coming here from time to time, \" said neumann one saturday afternoon. \"are you an artist, or are you buying art?\" ben-zion said he was neither. but neumann repeated the question several weeks later. \"so i said, 'i don't know if you can call that art work, ' \" ben-zion recalled, but \"i make those small, little drawings [on a writing pad]. and that's all what i have.\" neumann asked how much he wanted for three of them. \"i don't know, \" ben-zion replied. neumann offered $15. \"not too much?\" the artist asked. \"no, \" said neumann, \"and you'll find out that i'm probably cheating you.\" instead, the purchase launched ben-zion's career. in 1935, he became a founding member, with mark rothko, joseph solman, and adolph gottlieb, among others, of the group of american moderns, the ten (see \"the ten: birth of the american avant-garde, \" mercury gallery, december 1998). critics took note at once. a skeptical new york sun critic said ben-zion painted \"furiously\" and called him \"the farthest along\" of the ten. his the glory of war was featured in the ten's 1938 show, \"whitney dissenters, \" staged to protest the emphasis on regionalism and social realism in the whitney's annual exhibits. the glory of war was \"resounding\" and \"forceful, \" an art news reviewer wrote. \"ben-zion selects philosophical, poetic, psychological or tragic passages from the

(1909 ? 1999) was an american cartoonist, illustrator, and author best known for his fifty-year career at the new yorker magazine. darrow helped develop the magazine?s cartoon style of psychological snapshot with a one-line caption. unlike most of his colleagues, he also wrote his own captions. a prolific artist, darrow produced some 1,500 cartoons for the new yorker. at times the magazine published fifty of his cartoons in a year, including full-page treatments and covers in color. born in princeton, new jersey where his father was founding director of princeton university press, darrow grew up in greenwich, connecticut and attended greenwich high school. during high school he wrote parodies for the school newspaper and was a member of the class crew squad. later, while a student at princeton, he wrote a humorous column for the daily princetonian and was editor of the princeton tiger. after graduating from princeton in 1931 darrow studied at the art students league with thomas hart benton and other artists, and he began selling cartoons to judge, life, and college humor. it was in 1933, at twenty-four years of age, that his affiliation with the new yorker began. it would last until he retired from the magazine in 1982.[1] a shrewd observer of human behavior, darrow?s cartoons often focused on the contradictions and absurdities of middle-class suburban life in america. martin plimmer of the independent describes darrow?s art as ?a muscular drawing style, dense and darkly etched, a compound construction of grey wash and scribbled shade and bold, reiterated pencil strokes, from which his forms emerge with a precision and lightness of foot that belie all that weight of graphite. lightness of heart too, for darrow was never morbid or bitter. even the most foolish of his subjects glows in the positive light of his enthusiasm and affection.?[2] darrow published four collections of his work: you?re sitting on my eyelashes, give up?, stop miss, and please pass the hostess. he illustrated children?s stories and other books by such authors as nathaniel benchley, jean kerr, and johnny carson, among others.[3] darrow and his wife, mildred, were living in shelburne, vermont when he died at the age of eighty-nine. he had a son, daughter, and two grandsons.

[3] eric de kolb is the original creator and designer of many fashions and commercial packaging that are well known throughout the world, some of these very famous designs are: footie pajamas with booties and snap opening for diaper change; four-dimensional perfume bottle (perfume in a glass nude figurine); four-dimensional unbreakable dispenser/bottle (milk or honey in a teddy bear figurine); rubber coated unbreakable spray bottle for the shower. de kolb was a sculptor and a collector of ancient art. the metropolitan museum of art offered a tour of his home to see his collection on february 20, 1970. eric had a showing of jewelry pieces ranging in value from $20,000 to $40,000 (aztec jewelry). the jewelry was unwearable because of the softness of 24kt gold. de kolb was asked to sculpt replicas of his ancient jewelry and statue collection.[4] he used the \"cie perdue\" or lost wax process, in which a tiny wax sculpture is converted to a clay form mold. the mold is heated until the wax flows out, and then filled with 14kt gold. the mold is broken to release the piece, with the result that each cast piece is one of a kind.[5] when de kolb was approached by bonwit teller to sell his gold ancient art replica jewelry pieces, he imported italian craftsmen. de kolb modeled each piece like a sculptor. prices for the pieces ranged from $50 to $390.[6] on behalf of the eric de kolb collection, major department stores presented full page ads in major newspapers throughout the united states and italy. eric de kolb made many personal appearances. woman's wear daily said:[7] \"eric de kolb designer jewelry collection with persian, pre-columbian, greek and etruscan influences based on his own extensive collection of romanesa, madonnas, early greek and etruscan bronzes, and african sculptures. 14kt gold with 24kt overlay for ancient gold effect\".[8] eric de kolb is also noted for his design of night clubs and riviera villas.[9][10] in new york city, eric de kolb owned the gallery d' hautbarr. throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the famous bodley gallery in new york city became a major showcase for eric de kolb's work. de kolb was hailed by critics as a modern cellini for his one-man show of miniature sculptures at the kleeman gallery. de kolb married his first wife louise christine in 1940. in 1983 he married elvira esterhazy (elvira alexandra maria lucia isabella rudolphine (b.vienna 13 apr 1929); m. new york 1 dec 1983 eric de kolb-wartenberg).[citation needed] eric de kolb was commissioned by pope john paul ii to paint \"the miracles of st. anthony\" when he went to padua and brazil. he gave gifts to the snite museum of art.[11] his paintings were also on display there 18\" x 24\", 22 1/2\" x 28 1/2\"

maennerchor building etching, 102 west michigan street, 1970, indianapolis athenaeum. edition 106/300. sam smith fine art display systems, indianapolis, in label verso. provenance: from the estate of jim and anna white, indianapolis, in from historic structures: the maennerchor society had it origins among the germans who had come to the united states after the revolutions of 1848 in europe. among the ways that they sought to retain the culture of the country they had left was to sing the old songs and accustom themselves to american beer. in june, of 1854 a small group formalized their relationship and formed the maennerchor. they gave their first concert on may 28th, 1855. during the rest of the nineteenth century the maennerchor occupied several buildings in the downtown indianapolis. the decision to allow non-participating members in the organization resulted in an increase in membership and wealth for the maennerchor. they used this new ability to finance the maennerchor building; a headquarters designed especially for their musical and social needs. in the middle of june 1906 the cornerstone was laid for the new building with pomp, ceremony, and singing. the presence of vice-president charles w. fairbanks, james whitcomb riley, and german ambassador baron von storberg, as honored guests and speakers attest to the importance of the event. the new building enabled the maennerchor to continue its tradition of bringing world renown performing artists to indianapolis. john p. frenzel, benefactor and music lover, went to europe to engage performers for the maennerchor. until the mid 1930's when frenzel's death marked the end of both his financial and personal help the maennerchor saw three to six major concerts each year in addition to their regular singing programs. among those who came there were the flonzaley string quartet which appeared almost yearly from 1911 to 1928, pablo cassels and his wife, susan metcalf cassels in 1917, gregor piatigorsky in 1928, joseph szigti in 1927, 1928, and 1929, georges ensco in 1929, and 1932, vladamir horowitz in 1935, and the budapest string quartet in 1935. in 1935 the maennerchor began rehearsing the athenaeum and in december of 1936 they gave their first concert there. this marked the end of the association of the maennerchor and the maennerchor building although the maennerchor society still meets and sings in indianapolis. incidental to its long-range development the maennerchor became a symbol of anti-german feelings during world war i, when the name maennerchor and the script verse were removed from the building and replaced with the \"acadamy of music\" on april 15th, 1918. during world war ii, the building served as a local service men's center and was a nightclub for a short time. in 1946 the maennerchor started a new career when indiana university made it the home of their indianapolis law school. they moved to a new building in 1970. the maennerchor, along with the athenaeum serves as an example of the importance of german-americans in indianapolis and of what these people thought was important to society. it was the building in which some of the best music heard in indianapolis was presented. for twenty-four years many indiana lawyers received their education in the maennerchor. in 1974, the american states insurance company purchased the landmark building and promised to donate it to any group that could find a use for it. a company spokesman said \"you don't have to worry about us tearing the building down, i'm sure you can come up with a workable solutions. we actually want you to do something with the maennerchor.\" american states insurance placed a six month deadline on its offer, a very short time to develop plans and raise funds for restoration. a coalition of art and historic preservation groups obtained sufficient funds to meet the taxes and maintenance costs of the building for one year if the company would defer demolition. the american states insurance company refused, and had the building demolished. 12 1/2\"h x 15 1/4\"w(sight), 18 3/4\"h x

leslie burford american (1920 - 2011) parade, 1970 screenprint pencil signed and dated lower right, edition 20/40. provenance: from the estate of jim and anna white, indianapolis, in biography from the archives of askart: byron leslie burford (1920-2011) was born and raised in mississippi but adopted the midwest as his lifelong home after attending college at the university of iowa. soon after graduation, he accepted an invitation from department chairman grant wood to join the faculty, where he became head of painting until his retirement in 1985. although influenced by the midwest regionalist* movement, burford essentially is a figurative* artist with a distinct and recognizable realist style that often places his subjects in their own defining context: circus performers at work, beachcombers gazing out to sea, explorers at leisure in their cramped cabin, jazz musicians with their instruments, a publisher picking through the ruins of his letter press after a mob has destroyed it, etc. a prolific oil painter, he has also worked in a wide variety of other media from limited edition prints and engravings to acrylic and even hot wax on canvas. the size of his works has been equally varied, ranging from huge, double-panel oils to tiny miniatures. over a long and productive life, the sense and subject matter of his works have varied, as well. his earliest drawings, silk screens*, stone lithographs*, and oils include what might be termed a \"mississippi protest\" period peopled by ordinary but oppressed african-americans, of which few drawings and prints are believed to have survived; and a \"blue period\" characterized by a variety of shades of blue and purple that often cast a dark and somber mood. later periods include a miniature period of very small paintings; his notable \"antarctic explorer\" series of paintings and prints about boyhood hero robert scott; the \"jazz\" series of musicians and orchestras; and the well known and widely exhibited \"circus\" paintings and prints, inspired by burford's summer travels with a regional circus (with whom he sometimes performed, himself, as the circus band's drummer.) after retirement as an art professor, perhaps in an unconscious counterpoint to his early \"blue period, \" burford began creating a series of oils, acrylics, and prints suffused with bright reds, oranges, pinks, yellows, and greens. byron burford has received multiple prestigious awards and grants, including from these sources include: american academy of arts and letters purchase awards; tamarind fellowship; national endowment for the arts grant; yaddo* fellowship; american federation of arts grant; national institute of arts and letters grant 1972; j.s. guggenheim fellowship; ford foundation award; and the julius rosenwald fellowship*. his works are included in many u.s. and foreign collections open to the public. in the u.s. this includes the national museum of art, the smithsonian, the walker art museum (minneapolis), the nelson gallery (kansas city), the guggenheim foundation (new york), the san francisco museum of art, the des moines art center, the joslyn art museum (omaha), the davenport

leslie burford american (1920-2011) believe it or not, 1967 screenprint pencil signed and dated lower right, edition 30/50. biography from the archives of askart: byron leslie burford (1920- ) was born and raised in mississippi but adopted the midwest as his lifelong home after attending college at the university of iowa. soon after graduation, he accepted an invitation from department chairman grant wood to join the faculty, where he became head of painting until his retirement in 1985. although influenced by the midwest regionalist* movement, burford essentially is a figurative* artist with a distinct and recognizable realist style that often places his subjects in their own defining context: circus performers at work, beachcombers gazing out to sea, explorers at leisure in their cramped cabin, jazz musicians with their instruments, a publisher picking through the ruins of his letter press after a mob has destroyed it, etc. a prolific oil painter, he has also worked in a wide variety of other media from limited edition prints and engravings to acrylic and even hot wax on canvas. the size of his works has been equally varied, ranging from huge, double-panel oils to tiny miniatures. over a long and productive life, the sense and subject matter of his works have varied, as well. his earliest drawings, silk screens*, stone lithographs*, and oils include what might be termed a \"mississippi protest\" period peopled by ordinary but oppressed african-americans, of which few drawings and prints are believed to have survived; and a \"blue period\" characterized by a variety of shades of blue and purple that often cast a dark and somber mood. later periods include a miniature period of very small paintings; his notable \"antarctic explorer\" series of paintings and prints about boyhood hero robert scott; the \"jazz\" series of musicians and orchestras; and the well known and widely exhibited \"circus\" paintings and prints, inspired by burford's summer travels with a regional circus (with whom he sometimes performed, himself, as the circus band's drummer.) after retirement as an art professor, perhaps in an unconscious counterpoint to his early \"blue period, \" burford began creating a series of oils, acrylics, and prints suffused with bright reds, oranges, pinks, yellows, and greens. byron burford has received multiple prestigious awards and grants, including from these sources include: american academy of arts and letters purchase awards; tamarind fellowship; national endowment for the arts grant; yaddo* fellowship; american federation of arts grant; national institute of arts and letters grant 1972; j.s. guggenheim fellowship; ford foundation award; and the julius rosenwald fellowship*. his works are included in many u.s. and foreign collections open to the public. in the u.s. this includes the national museum of art, the smithsonian, the walker art museum (minneapolis), the nelson gallery (kansas city), the guggenheim foundation (new york), the san francisco museum of art, the des moines art center, the joslyn art museum (omaha), the davenport municipal art gallery, eastman house (rochester, ny), the high museum of art (atlanta), the sheldon memorial art gallery (lincoln) and the university of iowa art gallery. submitted november 2003 by john barrett who wrote: \"i have collected a few burford

sometimes realistic, other times abstract, occasionally phantasmagoric ? more reminiscent of the german expressionist george grosz than hogarth and his other british antecedents. mr. searle's sensibility, though rooted in an english tradition, was decidedly universal, and not always overtly comic. in addition to creating humorous covers for the new yorker and tv guide from the 1960s through the '80s, as well as cartoons for the french newspaper le monde and illustrations for the new york times and the international herald tribune, he recorded serious news events, including john f. kennedy's presidential campaign in 1960 and the nazi war criminal adolf eichmann's trial in jerusalem in 1961, covering them for life magazine. he also created pictorial travelogues for holiday magazine, whose art director during the middle to late '60s, frank zachary, sent him to various corners of the world to report on the growth of postwar industrial europe and other subjects. many editorial cartoonists and illustrators who came of age in those years were influenced by mr. searle's approach and mimicked it. ronald william fordham searle was born on march 3, 1920, in cambridge, england. while his working-class parents, william and nellie searle, were not \"poor in the needy sense, \" his biographer russell davies wrote, most of their money went to necessities. still, recognizing their son's talent, they bought him a set of pastels, and by age 9 he was drawing credible portraits of his family and friends. at 15, ronald paid for his own art school classes by working for a cartoonist at the cambridge daily news, where he also drew traditional continuous-panel strips with clever story lines in the graphic style of the early 20th-century cartoonist and humorist h. m. bateman. mr. searle became a satirist, he once said, because \"in the late '30s, things in general and politics in particular were no longer neatly divided into things black and white.\" \"on top of this, \" he added, \"there was the irresistible impulse to draw. i cannot remember wanting to be anything else other than an artist.\" in 1939 he passed a government drafting test and joined the army as an architectural draftsman. on the side he made impressionistic watercolor sketches of fellow soldiers and cartoons poking fun at military conventions. his work was first published in the magazine lilliput in 1941. in october of that year he was shipped off to singapore, which soon fell to the japanese. captured, he spent the duration of the war in changi prison, which provided forced labor for building the burma railway, including the famous bridge over the river kwai. but he continued to draw, using crude implements and scraps of paper, recording the deplorable conditions of his camp and the fates of fellow soldiers. after he was repatriated in 1945, his drawings were exhibited in cambridge. (in 1986 he published a book of them, to the kwai ? and back: war drawings 1939-1945.) in 1948, mr. searle began writing and illustrating parodies about the impish, misbehaving students at a fictional english girls' school called st. trinian's and publishing them in lilliput. this led to a series of popular books, starting in 1948 with hurrah for st. trinian's. his st. trinian's girls were warmly embraced by the english public and established him as one of britain's leading cartoonists. still, he began to complain of becoming a prisoner to his creations and the cottage industry of books and films that grew from them. to free himself from the burden of success, he blew up the school with an atomic bomb in 1952 in the terror of st. trinian's. but he could not kill the franchise; the characters were too popular. it continued until 1959, when he and his wife at the time, kaye webb, published the st. trinian's story, a compilation. (in 2007, it was revived as a film, st. trinian's.) mr. searle began contributing work to the venerable satiric magazine punch in 1953, at the invitation of its editor, malcolm muggeridge. he soon became the highest-paid cartoonist on its staff and was sought after as an author, illustrator and animator, especially in the united states, where he designed the title sequences for those magnificent men in their flying machines and other movies. in the mid-1950s he founded a publishing company, perpetua books. his work has been collected in albums like \"merry england, etc.\" and \"the rake's progress\" (an homage to hogarth's famous portfolio of a similar name). as time went on, his work occasionally became surreal and his comedy darker, as in his books the square egg (1968) and the secret sketchbook (1970). he continued to focus on familiar themes, like overpopulation and religion, but with more angst; a 1972 drawing titled the arrival of god shows a huge crescent moon falling with a thud onto a large city. in the late 1960s mr. searle and his second wife, the former monica koenig, moved from paris to secluded country life in southeast france, near cannes, where he continued to work. his marriage to ms. webb, an editor of lilliput and puffin books, whom he married in 1948, ended in divorce in 1967. his second wife died in july. mr. searle is survived by a son, john; a daughter, kate searle, and a grandson. despite his skeptical, satirical bent, mr. searle had a soft spot for animals, especially cats. the subjects of his books searle's cats (1967) and more cats (1975), hyperactive and dour, were among his favorite creations. he was also fascinated by snails, and found a way to link them with terror, intrigue and even sex in his 1969 book hello ?

magnificent men in their flying machines and other movies. in the mid-1950s he founded a publishing company, perpetua books. his work has been collected in albums like \"merry england, etc.\" and \"the rake's progress\" (an homage to hogarth's famous portfolio of a similar name). as time went on, his work occasionally became surreal and his comedy darker, as in his books the square egg (1968) and the secret sketchbook (1970). he continued to focus on familiar themes, like overpopulation and religion, but with more angst; a 1972 drawing titled the arrival of god shows a huge crescent moon falling with a thud onto a large city. in the late 1960s mr. searle and his second wife, the former monica koenig, moved from paris to secluded country life in southeast france, near cannes, where he continued to work. his marriage to ms. webb, an editor of lilliput and puffin books, whom he married in 1948, ended in divorce in 1967. his second wife died in july. mr. searle is survived by a son, john; a daughter, kate searle, and a grandson. despite his skeptical, satirical bent, mr. searle had a soft spot for animals, especially cats. the subjects of his books searle's cats (1967) and more cats (1975), hyperactive and dour, were among his favorite creations. he was also fascinated by snails, and found a way to link them with terror, intrigue and even sex in his 1969 book hello ? where

beauchamp american (1923 - 1995) wall size figural abstract with horse large scale ink and charcoal wash on paper signed lower right. biography from the columbus museum of art, georgia: robert beauchamp was born in denver, colorado, in 1923. his highschool teacher, r. idris thomas, who facilitated his winning a scholarship to the colorado springs arts center, nurtured his childhood interest in art. there beauchamp studied with boardman robinson. after serving in the navy and traveling around the world for four years during world war ii, he returned to complete his studies at the colorado springs fine arts center. in 1947, beauchamp went on to study painting and sculpture at the cranbrook art academy in michigan where, after taking academic classes at the university of denver, he received a bachelor of fine arts degree. after viewing a traveling exhibition of artwork by students of the abstract expressionist painter hans hoffmann, beauchamp was inspired to study with hoffmann at his school in provincetown, massachusetts. he then moved to new york city where he continued his studies with hoffman and met other abstract expressionists. he frequented the cedar bar and \"the club, \" and became an active member of the new york school, with whom he exhibited his work. hofmann instilled in beauchamp the notion that painting is a process of revelation through the expressive manipulation of color on a canvas. for beauchamp this technique provided the means to explore the subject of emotional and psychological emancipation. in this manner he developed his own, idiosyncratic approach to abstract expressionism where his free and loose brushwork describes human and animal forms in a surrealistic and sometimes disturbing expression. beauchamp's work was initially exhibited at the tanager gallery on new york's 10th street, but in subsequent years he was represented by a number of new york dealers, including zabriskie, martha jackson, graham and dintinfass galleries. his work was also exhibited in five biennial exhibitions at the whitney museum, as well as in exhibitions at the guggenheim museum and the museum of modern art. beauchamp was awarded a fulbright travel grant to paint in florence and rome in 1959. in later years, he was awarded a pollock/krasner grant from the walter gutmann foundation, the boskoff foundation, national endowment for the arts, and the guggenheim foundation. like many of his colleagues, beauchamp exemplified an emerging group of artist-teachers who taught at various schools and universities around the us. he was on the faculty of the school of the visual arts, cooper union and brooklyn college in new york, and served as visiting artist at the university of louisiana, the university of ohio, syracuse university, the university of illinois, the university of wisconsin, the university of california at san diego and the university of arizona. in 1980 beauchamp was appointed the lamar dodd chair at the university of georgia where he taught for three years while exhibiting his work at atlanta's fay gold gallery. he returned to live and work in new york city and provincetown, massachusetts in 1984. his work was exhibited at several new york and provincetown galleries until he died in 1995. in addition to the columbus museum, examples of beauchamp's work can be seen in the

stevens american (1924-2019) big daddy with hats, 1971 serigraph pencil signed and numbered 18/100 lower left. biography from the archives of askart: feminist* artist, poet, and writer may stevens was born in 1924 in quincy, massachusetts. she became a painter of large-scale acrylic canvases that express her view on a variety of social issues, especially those dealing with racism and women's roles in society. many of her works have symbolic figures \"painted in a kind of brilliant hued, post-pop realism.\" (rubinstein 399). one of these figures, big daddy, is depicted with a bullet, phallic-shaped head and no shirt and is intended to represent imperialism, racism, and sexism. in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, her artwork seemed generally perceived by critics as propaganda, which in that era was not popular, and some critics described her symbolic figures demeaningly as caricatures. however, as women's issues and racial matters came increasingly to the fore of public thinking, her work has gained in popular appeal. in the 1950s and 1960s, her work involved racial themes and the civil rights movement, including freedom riders and malcolm x in his casket. in the 1970s, her emphasis moved to feminism, and she often used photographs of her family in the creation of paintings, photo-montages and murals. in ordinary/extraordinary, stevens contrasts her mother with the revolutionary rosa luxemburg, and this juxtaposition was similar to what she had done in the 1960s with her father and the issues of racism. stevens focus on these issues resulted from her childhood with a mother whom she perceived to be highly repressed by poverty and expectations in a male-dominated society. her father was a shipyard worker whom she resented because of his bigotry and racism, especially his beliefs in germanic superiority. stevens studied in boston at the massachusetts college of art in 1946 and in new york city at the art students league* in 1948. she married artist rudolf baranik, and the couple went to paris where he was studying on a g.i. bill. she studied briefly at the academy julian* but quit with the burden of her pregnancy. however, she continued painting and exhibited her work at the galerie huit. she received favorable reviews, although a frequent theme of critics toward her work was their distaste for political subjects. returning to new york city in 1951, she taught for five years at the high school of music and art, and then taught in various places such as the school of visual arts and parsons school of design*, while painting and working on exhibitions. she also founded the feminist journal, heresies. her first new york city exhibition was in 1955 at the galerie moderne, after a show in 1951 in paris. she also showed at the new museum of contemporary art in new york city, and the kunsthalle, dusseldorf, germany; museum of contemporary art, sao paolo, brazil; indochina arts project; and the kremlin in moscow, russia, among many others. she received a new york state council on the arts creative public service award in graphics in 1974; a painting grant from the national endowment for the arts in 1983; and a painting fellowship from the guggenheim foundation* in 1986. may stevens' works are in the collections of the san francisco museum of modern art, whitney museum of american art, and brooklyn museum, new york city, among

pursue a career in art and decided to teach himself illustration skills, which he did after work, on weekends and all other spare time, working at his kitchen table. following three years of steady

depicting a lone robot ( the last man) moving through bleak landscapes that suggested a post-nuclear holocaust, bravely acting out human rituals. these cold-war images have received quite a bit of interest during the ensuing years. a year later he resigned and moved to new york as a free-lance illustrator for magazines and books. he launched a career of scientific illustration, doing such technically accurate subjects as 26 paintings of celestial objects in 1964 for the hayden planetarium and later recording such advanced technological developments as drawing board jet bombers, missile launchings at cape kennedy and a revolutionary lunar manned base. his scientific drawings and paintings appeared in dozens of major publications. in the early 1960's hunter also wrote the documentary text and shot photographs for two successful books of photojournalism published by doubleday; the missilemen and strategic air command. he flew with sac crews, talked with the pilots, stood on alert with them in spain, flew a refueling mission about the arctic circle, sat in a honeycombed blockhouse observing the countdown on an atlas sm-65 and traveled more than halfway around the world to get the full story-in text and photograph- of the men, the weapons and the strategy of strategic air command. mel spent fifteen years traveling the world on assignments as a major magazine and advertising illustrator specializing in the physical sciences, astronomy and advanced space and weapons technology. he produced over nine hundred drawings and paintings in those fields. in the late 60's, mel owned and distributed the cessna/wren seaplane from the north star airpark in brooklyn. after 17 years of successful science illustration, mel moved from new york city to chester, in southern vermont during the summer of 1967. he established his home and studio in a farmhouse high on a forested hill where he began depicting the land, animals birds and changing seasons of his rural, semi-wild environment. during that first winter, he tells of having to wear gloves to eat dinner, since frigid wind blew through cracks in the walls. the following year, abercrombie & fitch galleries and massachusetts audubon society commissioned mel to do a series of more than 130 watercolors of birds of the northeast and in 1970, he signed a contract with world publishing co. for the development of a series of 13 ecological books for children. titles dealt with the beginning of the earth, mankind, plants, birds, mammals and insects. he produced an entire ecology calendar for general motors in 1974. for the world project, mel pioneered techniques for pre-separated color drawings using dupont mylar as a drawing surface. this process greatly reduced the cost of color-illustrated books and furthered his career by opening the way for his later fine art lithography prints. however, over the next four years, he created 54 editions using traditional stone lithography techniques. since 1971, mel received commissions for scores of multi-color lithographic editions some of his publishers have been circle gallery, roten collection, mill pond press, franklin mint, hmk fine arts, fine arts 260 as well as his own atelier north star and polaris press. in 1975, mel and his wife moved to grafton, vt., a foundation-funded, revitalized community where he founded gallery north star and atelier north star. over the next eight years gallery north star successfully featured prints from his then 82 limited editions and selected work from other artists. mel did his own printing in the atelier, at first using the traditional technique of drawing on thick blocks of belgium limestone. this meant hauling stones which often weighed 400 pounds, in the trunk of his car to stone printing shops in new york. he made twenty editions in joint effort with bank street atelier, shorewood atelier and geo, miller and son of nyc. in 1976, a long-experienced and reliable stone printer-craftsman accidentally ruined an image by adding a few too many drops of sulphuric acid to the preliminary etch on the stone. the subsequent edition was coarsened and all had to be destroyed. it occurred to mel that his work on mylar for the book project could be adapted to the more complex and demanding images of his current lithographs. he equipped his research workshop to perfect his use of the revolutionary mylar method, using a charles brand hand-cranked press. in the same year, his #55 edition high meadow, low meadow was his first full-color mylar edition, produced at the american atelier of circle graphics in new york. mel published a lengthy, photo-illustrated article in american artist magazine, entitled \"revolution in hand-drawn lithography\" which caused the eruption of an intense dialogue in the lithograph world. a joint public statement of affirmation from artists jamie wyeth, lowell nesbitt and others who were using the new method as well as supporting statements from two ateliers in new york, quelled the debate. today, artists over the world use the method. in 1984, mel's seminal hardcover textbook, the new lithography appeared and is now a collector's item. in 1983, mel moved his atelier north star to burlington, vermont, where he produced well over 100 new editions using these advanced methods. he has acted as master printer in the production of more than 200 editions for other artists and print publishers. until 1989, atelier north star was operated as a high quality production shop and as a teaching facility where a number of shop assistants and work-study students from nearby university of vermont art classes were able to study how the mylar techniques work in the real world of production printing. after closing the atelier, mel continued to act as master printer for his own editions and those of other artists, using a prestigious printing facility in northern vermont. although diagnosed with parkinson's disease in the 1990's, mel continued working on new editions of lithographs, acted as master printer for other artists, and established a line of greeting cards reproduced from successful editions. he founded polaris press, inc. to function as a publisher/distributor of mezzographs, a special form of original lithographs, conceived by neil harpe, and technically developed by mel. he began publishing printthoughts, \"a journal of commentary on the besetting problems in the printed image field\" and founded the true original printmakers association, 1996 (topa), dedicated to the \"artist as the focal point of true original graphic printmaking\", designing a step by step process for documenting the creation of any true original graphic print edition. mel's work is in many collections. susan smith-hunter 11\"h x

employing the complex aquatint technique where the image is constructed upon purely tonal (as opposed to linear) grounds, aubrey schwartz creates a masterpiece of dense atmospheric effects. the

lincoln kirstein's book paul cadmus and david sutherland's documentary paul cadmus: enfant terrible at 80. signed by paul cadmus lower center. biography from the archives of askart: the following was written and compiled by jean ershler schatz, artist and researcher from laguna woods, california: paul cadmus was born in new york city on december 17, 1904 and lived and worked in new york city. he came from an artistic family. his father was a lithographer who painted in a modest way; his mother did illustrations for children's books; his sister was a designer. paul began to draw when he was two and one-half. when he was fourteen, he entered the national academy of design and the art students league. he was the pupil of joseph pennell, william aurbach-levy, charles locke, and jared french. later he worked for an advertising agency until he had some money; he became the lover of jared french and the two went to live in majorca. when he returned to the united states in 1933, there were no jobs for young artists. he joined the public works of art project, forerunner of the works progress administration and painted \"the fleet's in\", a painting so controversial that it was pulled from a show of wpa art at the corcoran gallery in washington. by the time the fuss over the painting had subsided, cadmus was receiving wide invitations to exhibit his work. museums bought his etchings. cadmus won overnight fame when assistant secretary of the navy colonel henry l roosevelt (fdr's cousin) had the painting pulled from that corcoran show. the painting was considered too blasphemous for the public to see; the hue and cry about it was similar to the fuss over photographer robert mapplethorpe and his photographs many years later, or the public fuss over the more recent show of english artists at the brooklyn museum. in cadmus' case, the painting was luckily hidden in a private men's club in the district of columbia and was only made available to the public in the 1980s when it was displayed in the navy museum, and lent out for temporary exhibit. cadmus was a satirist. his eye was keen and his memory sharp. he rarely used models, preferring to work from memory and careful sketches. his absorbing interest was painting people and especially their anatomy - the play of muscles and the stretch of skin above them. in both his interest and his style, he takes openly after the 16th century italian painter, signorelli. cadmus kept his color harsh and high-pitched to reflect the vulgarity of life as he saw it. cadmus was famous before he was thirty; by the time he was in his mid-forties he had turned to abstract themes. working well through his late eighties, he was an old style draftsman who continued to blend his own egg temperas. in his later decades, he concentrated on drawings as finished works, in crayon, chalk, silverpoint and casein on hand-toned papers. humor continued to mark much of his output, but his primary focus was still on portrait and nude drawings of men - particularly cadmus' life companion, jon anderson - characterized by classical restraint. the painter's life and career quieted after the turbulent 1930s, and he continued his small but steady flow of work, producing many drawings but no more than 150 canvases. he was elected an academician of the national academy and member of both the american academy and institute of arts and letters. cadmus lived until he was ninety-four; he died on december 14, 1999 at his home in weston, connecticut. sources include: time magazine, december 5, 1949 stephen may in

aaron (r.a.) miller georgia (1912 - 2006) folk / outsider art cut out man with arms raised painted metal / tin signed verso. r. a. miller, a resident of rabbittown, an unincorporated community north of gainesville, was one of the state?s enduring self-taught artists, noted for his ?whirligigs, ? or metal cutout figures, and drawings, which typically feature animal or human figures and short inspirational messages. the best of his flat cutouts and drawn figures recall the expressive economy of such self-taught artists as bill traylor of alabama. born on july 22, 1912, on the property where he lived for most of his life, reuben aaron miller worked in cotton mills, farmed, and served as a preacher for the free will baptist church. when chronic eye problems began to limit miller?s activities, he started making whirligigs to pass the time. although miller?s early whirligigs sometimes featured mechanical figures, most were decorated with flat animal or human shapes, cut from tin and painted in enamel. miller typically attached these cutouts to horizontal wooden supports, ranging from standard two-by-two lumber to salvaged furniture arms and legs. tin paddles were cut, painted, and attached to wooden cross forms or bicycle wheels to provide surfaces for the wind to catch. by the mid-1980s miller?s yard was a spectacle?a hilltop field of hundreds of spinning windmills. his animated environment attracted frequent visitors, including athens rock group r.e.m., who in 1984, with painter and filmmaker james herbert, filmed a twenty-minute video, left of reckoning, on miller?s hilltop. after folk-art dealers and collectors began to purchase miller?s inexpensive whirligigs in large quantities, the artist started to make and sell cutout figures independent of the whirligigs. the best of miller?s tin cutouts are gracefully abstracted and animated in gesture. his animal images range from bluebirds, chickens, pigs, and snakes to a variety of dinosaur types, inspired by nature programs on television. human figures include red devils, angels, such american cultural icons as uncle sam and elvis presley, and less well-defined characters that sport hats, cigars, or red claws. miller?s most frequent image is a figure emblazoned with the words ?blow oskar, ? a reference to the artist?s cousin, who would blow his car horn while driving past miller?s property. cutout shapes of churches, american flags, and crosses decorated with birds and angels also figure heavily in miller?s work. in later years miller?s popularity, combined with his failing eyesight, forced him to rely on assistants to paint his cutouts. in addition to whirligigs and cutouts, miller produced paintings and drawings in enamel or marker on masonite. these works include similar human figures, animals, and dinosaurs, which share space with such short inspirational messages as ?lord love you? and are surrounded by simple decorative borders. miller?s work has been included in such exhibitions as outside the mainstream: folk art in our time at the high museum of art in atlanta (1988) and passionate visions of the american south at the new orleans museum of art in louisiana (october 1993-january 1994). further exhibitions, the inclusion of his work in museums? permanent collections, and articles in such international publications as raw vision have contributed to miller?s status as an elder statesman among georgia?s self-taught artists. in 2004 miller lost his sight to an eye infection and moved to a nursing home in commerce, where he died in

alice engron indiana (1933-2007) abstract oil on canvas signed with initials lower right. biography from the archives of askart: mae alice engron was born, raised and died in indianapolis, indiana. after injuries sustained working as a civil servant, she attended herron school of art, receiving a bachelor of fine arts degree in 1984, at the age of 42. she was an abstract painter who primarily painted with oil on canvas, although early in her practice, she also painted on foil to reflect light. inspired by organic forms and patterns drawn from nature, her works center on floral abstractions, nudes, and traditional geometric abstraction and her own unique understanding of color. mae's signature on her pieces ? mae ? is as recognizable as her work. mae was a featured artist in many exhibitions in indianapolis, indiana, specifically the indiana state museum, indiana black expo, indiana art league, indianapolis, public school business center. her work is in the collection of the smithsonian american art museum, the indiana state museum, as well as pepsico and in private collections throughout the us and germany. in 1991, mae was included in \"there but for the grace: a tribute to pathfinders and visionaries\", a group show of national artists at gallery tanner in los angeles. the inclusion in gallery tanner's exhibition on groundbreaking artists situates mae as a seminal figure in abstraction. at the height of her career, she was one of few black women painters in pure abstraction following the death of alma thomas in 1978. she said, \"i paint the way i feel. when my life is in order and everything is running smoothly, i paint the geometric. when i am down, i paint lines. when i feel love, i paint flowers. when i am feeling easy, i paint flowing paintings?\" her imagery resembles tradition african american textiles as well as highlights an iconography of shape made more significant and expressive through rich color palettes. there is also a palpable sense of humor in mae's work. her mood paintings are a culmination of her understanding of the color, the medium and of herself. in november 2016, quotidian, an la roving gallery, mounted \"mae engron: no date no title.\" as part of the exhibition programming, tavis smiley and curator jill moniz had a conversation about mae's practice and her emotionally charged abstracts. quotidian

friedeberg mexican (b.1936) d?a y noche firmada serigraf?a double sided cut out serigraph signed and numbered 6/100. framed in lucite. biography from gallart.com: friedeberg was born in florence, italy, on january 11, 1936, the son of german-jewish parents, friedeberg arrived in mexico at the age of three. having shown an early inclination for drawing and reading, he studied architecture at the universidad iberoamericana, where he was profoundly influenced by the teaching of mathias goeritz, a german-mexican artist. under goeritz influence he created architectural models that fused diverse elements into single structures and were often designed to be non-fictional. his educational background ranged from medieval to art nouveau and his work anticipated postmodernism. in 1960, friedeberg was invited to join a group based on dadaist principles: the creation of anti-art for art's sake. los hartos (the fed up) was a rejection of political painting and provided an alternative to the social painting of the time. this organization led friedeberg to part in another direction that would define his work - he believed in the autonomy of aestheticism. apart from friedeberg's non-fictional architectural fantasies, he began producing furniture that rejected the predominantly international style of architecture and design that was being taught in mexico. after designing his first chair, friedeberg went on to design tables, couches, and love seats. this body of work, along with friedeberg's obsessively crowded and meticulously detailed canvases, often included references to tantric scriptures, aztec codices, catholicism, hinduism, and symbols of the occult. although his paintings, filled to overflowing with surprise, were sometimes described as examples of surrealism or fantastic realism, they are not easily definable in terms of conventional categories. he used architectural drawing as the medium through which he created unusual compositions and also designed furniture and useless objects, admitting that his artistic activity was rooted in boredom. this sense of irony and surfeit imparted to his pictures, through the hallucinatory repetition of elements, an asphyxiating formal disorder. friedeberg's work is a product of highly conscious, if not self-conscious, thought. 22 3/4\"h x 22 3/4\"w(paper), 29\"h x 29\"w

soft 70?s rock. during my life i have lived in many areas across the united states. i met my wife of 33 years in mojave, california, had a son, moved to maryland, where my daughter was born. my art

haziza israel (b.1969) modernist lucite acrylic sculpture unsigned. tiny paint splats and nicks on acrylic. biography from antal fine art: shlomi haziza was born in haifa, israel into an artistic family and has been making art since he was 15. he started by selling whimsical paintings on sea stones. his rock art became wildly popular and haziza moved up in the world. he began designing clubs and restaurants, giving them an atmosphere consistent with his vivid art. he took his work to showcases all over the world. when his travels brought him to the united states, the government granted him permanent residency because he exhibited what they deemed \"extraordinary ability.\" once established in los angeles, he founded h.studio in 1991. since then, h.studio has become a veritable mecca for l.a.-based modern artists. it serves as a workspace for more than 75 artists with origins spanning the globe. \"we do everything here, \" said haziza, who prides himself on creations that \"make it hard for other people to do.\" indeed, his unique combination of design and technique ensures that his work will not be easily duplicated. he loves newness, and it shows in the nonconformist modernity of his work. ironically, while he loves to create the new and the fresh, haziza defines the essence of beauty as timeless and eternal. to him, \"anything that will stay after you leave this world\" is beautiful. \"jewelry you hang on your wall\" is how haziza characterizes a freeform sculpture, which is bent to create a three-dimensional look with lots of movement. his inspiration, as can be inferred from his peace-loving mantras as well as the names of his paintings?unity, land of love, human life, connecting?is the splendor of life and love. he seems exhilarated by the beauty of the world, and translates this exuberance onto the canvas and into sculpture. smoothing oil onto canvas, bending metals in an oven, casting materials from liquid?become actions of peace, actions of love?physical expressions of a desire to make others feel happy, uplifted, touched. then there's haziza's desire to infuse the world with his own uniqueness. \"i want to make what's not already out there-what's different.\" contorted acrylic, stainless steel, brushed aluminum, and self-concocted materials come together harmoniously in expressive sculpture. in his paintings, vivid, streaky brushstrokes, and infusions of dazzling hues converge with undertones of soothing spirituality. the pieces are relatively expensive (some fetch as much as $250,000, though others can be yours for as little as $50) and are sold in high-end stores like nieman marcus, fine furniture stores and international galleries, and can be seen in major museums. but neither the art nor the artist is pretentious. haziza's work is for the people. he will alter a piece to a client's taste: change a color here, reshape a bit there. he has had clients bring in a swatch of fabric and created an entire art piece to match. in 1996 h.studio company only produced sculptures and paintings. now, they have expanded into functional art: modern contemporary furniture, rugs, and art-wear. haziza's client base primarily consists of large corporations, well-known galleries, and the film industry. the art that comes out of h.studio enjoys widespread commercial use in high-profile places such as movie sets and corporate meeting spaces. the enterprising haziza also founded shoppingart.com, which provides content, graphic web design, and hosting for online art businesses. faith in the studio and the artists who work there runs deep: \"i believe we are one of the best in the world at what we do, if not the best, \" haziza asserts. source: westsidelife/avital binshtock & online open source

young american (1958-2005) winter landscape with hay bales oil on canvas signed lower right. biography from picture this! framing & gallery: a true outdoorsman of the american west, paco young made his home near the gallatin river outside of bozeman, mt, with his wife and young son in an environment that provided constant and ever-changing inspiration for his art. he was passionate about each painting because he painted familiar subjects that he loved. young?s favorite way in which to work was painting en plein air, or outdoors on location. he felt that this technique taught him the most about painting. young?s subjects were almost entirely derived from trips to nearby yellowstone, grand teton and glacier national parks. he once said, ?there?s an endless source of inspiring subject matter in the northern rockies. while i may include wildlife or figures in my paintings, they are usually secondary or lend support to the landscape. my paintings are often more about paint itself than the subject depicted because i find so much pleasure and excitement in the simple process of moving paint and creating a real impression of life.? reflecting a level of maturity that comes from years of passionate work and dedication, young?s paintings evolved into a painterly style well-suited to convey the wild beauty of his surroundings. during a career that spanned more than 20 years, young traveled extensively and exhibited at hundreds of gallery and museum shows including the leigh yawkey woodson art museum, c.m. russell museum, gilcrease museum and the trailside galleries. the national park service commissioned him to do a painting of old faithful, the famous geyser in yellowstone national park. young?s 4' x 6' original oil has now been permanently installed over the grand fireplace at the historic old faithful inn.paco young, 47 died on december 1st 2005 after a courageous battle with leukemia. a self-made man who became one of today?s most talented and successful

university during the war years, graduating in 1946. one of her professors, steve greene (1918-1999), was an influence on her work; barbara said later that the sad-eyed faces she often painted were due to him. another professor at iu, harry engel (1901-1970), thought that she had great potential and was disappointed when she opted for marriage (on the day of her graduation from iu) rather than ?further training with a well-known male artist? as he recommended. she did her first charcoal drawings in engel?s classes and they went sketching outdoors. she was encouraged to make abstract paintings. she had classes in painting, drawing and sculpture. after the second year the students were allowed to work from a nude model. barbara lived in indianapolis for six years during the 1940s and 1950s while her husband completed his medical training. she was inspired by the cityscape around her and most especially by the children she encountered in the urban neighborhoods. she had a brief professional life doing floor displays for the department store l. s. ayres in indianapolis until she became pregnant. as long as she lived in indianapolis, she exhibited at the annual exhibitions of the john herron school of art. she managed to paint in oils in their small, second floor apartment and transported her paintings while pushing a baby buggy. experimentation with materials and techniques in urbana, illinois: experimentation was the keyword for an artist in post war years and the only comment brh would make about her work was that they were all ?experiments.? her studio space in her home in urbana was full of oil and acrylic paints, pastels, inks, watercolors, gouache, encaustic paints, charcoal sticks, pencils, crayons, colored pencils ? and any new material available. barbara would usually paint from her imagination, allowing the materials she painted with to lead her inspiration: creative energy flowed down through her fingertips and guided her brush: line, tone and color forming shapes and figures. she always doodled on a note pad while talking on the telephone, usually faces appeared. she sketched friends and did some self-portraits. there was almost always sadness in the doleful-eyed faces that appeared on her paper and they were usually of someone unknown. barbara?s creative demon was too powerful to allow her satisfaction in the routine duties required of a wife and mother in the midwest of the 1950s. although she was able to profit from the labor-saving household devices that were available post war, the role of housewife was obviously not sufficient. her painting provided an outlet for her creative energy and gave meaning to her life of service to husband, family and community. the variety of her materials and techniques has been mentioned, but there is also great variety in her subject matter. portraits and faces were a recurring theme in her work, however, as well as images of mother and child which obviously held great meaning for her. 11\"h x 8.5\"w (one)"},"estimateMax":200,"lotNumber":"199","title":{"en":"barbara rogers houseworth, indiana (1925-2015), portfolio of drawings: portraits, gesture

1946. she married on the day of her graduation. in the 1940s it was not easy for a woman in the midwest to pursue a career as an artist; a woman?s most important role was considered to be in the home
