Lot: 1 - Hisashi Otsuka, Japanese (b.1947), Path of Bushido, 1995 / Home of Bushido, 1995, 2 embossed lithographs, 13"H x 11 1/2"W (one)
Hisashi Otsuka Japanese, (b.1947) Path of Bushido, 1995 / Home of Bushido, 1995 2 embossed lithographs Embossed signature, date, and chop mark lower. Biography from Bloomington Auction Gallery: Otsuka was born in 1947 into an exceptionally creative family. His natural artistic talents were encouraged and eventually developed formally in apprenticeship to one of Japan's foremost designers of kimonos, Taeko Jo. When Otsuka first came to Jo, he did little more than clean brushes and cook for the staff. The Bushido code, which specifies training in all the arts and sciences, determines that the technique of the art form is taught only after the student has learned service, duty and discipline. It was three years before Otsuka could cut a piece of cloth or paint a single stroke. Otsuka remained with Jo for eight years. Otsuka came to the West - to Hawaii - in 1979. Until that time his painting had been historical in subject and theme. But now it has emerged from the past in ways that are very exciting. In his neo-deco style - a dramatic new movement in the world of art - Otsuka's compositions have evolved to a decorative elegance. Otsuka's art has achieved an important transition: a cross-cultural excellence that not only appeals to East and West artistically, but also brings them together in understanding. This, after all, is Otsuka's personal mission, and he pursues it with splendid dedication.

Lot: 18 - Caroline Young, Chinese American (20/21st century), Spirit Unconquered, embossed lithograph, 38"H x 26 1/2"W (sheet)
Caroline Young Chinese American, (20/21st century) Spirit Unconquered embossed lithograph Chop mark lower right. As the adopted child of Chinese-American expatriates living in Hong Kong, Caroline young was immersed from an early age in the myths, legends, and philosophies of Chinese culture. These ancient narratives, blending mysticism with Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, offered more than moral lessons—they served as explanations for the mysteries of the universe: the origin of the sun, the power of lightning, and the balance between nature and spirit. This interweaving of myth, history, and spirituality forms the foundation of Young's work. Young paints in watercolor, acrylic, and gouache on Japanese silk, using the labor-intensive traditional Chinese gongbi style. This meticulous technique involves applying numerous transparent washes to build up rich, layered color and detail. Every piece is steeped in symbolism, with imagery drawn directly from the artist's interpretation of each story, and emotion conveyed through color. Through this body of work, Young seeks not only to share the richness of over five thousand years of Chinese civilization but also to reflect on the ethos and aspirations of modern-day China.

Caroline Young Chinese American, (20/21st century) Heroic Heart lithograph Unsigned. As the adopted child of Chinese-American expatriates living in Hong Kong, Caroline young was immersed from an early age in the myths, legends, and philosophies of Chinese culture. These ancient narratives, blending mysticism with Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, offered more than moral lessons—they served as explanations for the mysteries of the universe: the origin of the sun, the power of lightning, and the balance between nature and spirit. This interweaving of myth, history, and spirituality forms the foundation of Young's work. Young paints in watercolor, acrylic, and gouache on Japanese silk, using the labor-intensive traditional Chinese gongbi style. This meticulous technique involves applying numerous transparent washes to build up rich, layered color and detail. Every piece is steeped in symbolism, with imagery drawn directly from the artist's interpretation of each story, and emotion conveyed through color. Through this body of work, Young seeks not only to share the richness of over five thousand years of Chinese civilization but also to reflect on the ethos and aspirations of modern-day China.

David Halbach Arizona, California, (b. 1931) Overlooked, 2002 giclee print Pencil signed lower right. Cowboy Artists of America print published by The Greenwich Workshop. Biography from Altermann Galleries and Auctioneers: David Halbach wanted to be an artist for as long as he could remember. At first, it was for recognition from his parents, and then later in junior high school he discovered that he had a real talent. He completed his first paintings when he was in sixth grade, and after that he just kept on painting. Since Halbach's grades were not good enough to become the doctor or lawyer his mother had hoped he would become, he attended the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, California. After finishing art school and a tour in the Navy, Halbach went to work as an animator for Disney studios working on Lady and the Tramp. Leaving Disney, he then entered into commercial art and advertising, and eventually became an art teacher, a position that allowed him to create fine art and refresh his knowledge of the basics. Leaving California, Halbach and his wife, Jean, moved to Arizona, where he began to work as a professional artist. He began to sell his paintings through galleries and is now known as a successful watercolorist. A painter in American Western genre, Halbach researches subjects for his works extensively. He says, "There is a lot of truth in 'Paint what you know.'" Living in Arizona was conducive to creating the Western scenes that he had loved since he was a child, and he began to carefully investigate the history of the West and all that was needed to make his work honest and correct. That investigation brought back memories of the many times he had played cowboys and Indians when he was young, memories which inspired him in his endeavors. According to Halbach, "A child's imagination is an important asset to an artist. It mustn't be lost." Halbach has a special affection for the Hopi Indians, their pueblos and their culture, and that affection plays an important part in his art. He encourages the viewer to use their imagination, always allowing for a little mystery in each image. Reference: www.claggettrey.com

John Thomas Biggers American, (1924 - 2001) The Contribution of Negro Women to American Life and Education limited edition color lithograph After the original mural in Houston, TX. Biography from Michael Rosenfeld Gallery: Known for his narrative murals and outstanding draftsmanship, John Biggers dedicated his work to the depiction of the human condition. Born in Gastonia, North Carolina, he studied at Hampton Institute (1941-1946) - later renamed Hampton University - under Victor Lowenfeld and Charles White. In 1943, Biggers's mural "Dying Soldier" was featured in the Museum of Modern Art's landmark exhibition "Young Negro Art", organized by Lowenfeld. After serving in the United States Navy (1943-1945), he enrolled in Pennsylvania State University (where Lowenfeld had relocated), earning a B.S. and M.S. (1948), and Ph.D. (1954). In 1949, Biggers moved to Houston, Texas where he founded and then chaired the art department at Texas Southern University. In 1950, he was awarded first prize at the annual exhibition of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston for his painting, "The Cradle". In 1957, he traveled to Africa on a UNESCO grant to study Western African cultural traditions, becoming one of the first black artists to travel to Africa. This opportunity, which he described as "the most significant in my life's experiences," led to the publication of "Ananse: The Web of Life in Africa" (1961), a book of drawings and text based on his journeys in Ghana, Nigeria and other parts of Africa. Whether drawing African women dancing or creating one of his twenty-seven public murals, Biggers drew inspiration from his ancestral heritage, African art, Southern black culture, nature, and everyday experiences. Often labeled a social realist for his figurative social commentary of the 1940s, Biggers did work continually evolved over five decades, and in 1995, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and Hampton University Art Museum organized his first comprehensive retrospective, exposing the depth of his oeuvre. John Biggers died in 2001, leaving behind a body of work that, as Maya Angelou stated, "leads us through his expressions into the discovery of ourselves at our most intimate level." Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is the exclusive representative of the Estate of John Biggers.

Doug Johnson American, (b. 1940) garbage truck with reflection, 1981 lithographic print Unsigned. Biography from Graphis.com: With his distinctive airbrushing method and ravenous attention to detail, Doug Johnson's art owned the 1970s and 1980s. Making heavy use of dreamy colors, exceptional hard lighting accents and the round warmth of cartoons, Johnson's art is nothing short of an eye-popping, psychedelic experience. Far from the garish excesses of other illustrators of his time, Johnson's approach successfully balanced refinement and his altered point of view. He has a knack for making the subjects of his art seem simultaneously lifelike and fantastical. It can be seen in album covers he produced for rock groups Ike & Tina Turner and Judas Priest. For the Turners, Johnson aptly captured the group's international fame and coupled it with their elaborate, high-energy stage show. With Judas Priest, Johnson was able retain his classis style and inject it simultaneously with baleful subjects, more in line with the sinister qualities of heavy metal. Johnson is versatile. He made film posters for epic films like 1900, designed the cover for the 1972 Manhattan Yellow Pages and has fielded work for scores of clients including Life, Esquire and Time magazines, numerous advertising accounts and record sleeves.

Michael Atkinson Texas, (b. 1946) Emerald Lake, 1991 / Granddad's House, 1987 2 limited edition color lithographs Unsigned. Biography from WaterStreet.gallery: Michael Atkinson uses brilliant color and design which has won him international acclaim, but that has not stopped this native Texan from continually exploring reality through new media and images of the mind and heart. Atkinson seeks to capture the emotion, be it subtle or exaggerated, a pursuit that has been in evolution since he started painting as a child in the northwest Texas town of Lubbock. Attracted early to the study of architecture, he earned a degree from Texas Tech University, then taught and worked in the field for a time. He soon realized that he was most drawn to the design and presentation aspects of his profession. In the summer of 1974, he took time off to concentrate on his painting. The response to his work was so great, he made the decision to paint full time. A painting by Michael Atkinson is immediately recognizable by its composition. He feels that watercolor permits spontaneity and freedom and can be made to do things on its own utilizing texture, density of color, variation of light and dark. White space is also an essential element of the ‘Atkinson look'. In addition to his dazzling medium of watercolor, Atkinson demonstrates his excellent artistic ability with beautiful bronze sculpture. His bronze pieces mirror the electricity of his two dimensional work, earning a grand reception from his legions of collectors.

Biography from Robin Rile Fine Art: Born in Sydney, Australia, in 1959, Gil Bruvel had French-born parents who moved the family back to the south of France when he was 4 years old. While taking drawing lessons at age 9 and learning sculpture basics, Bruvel made the decision to spend his life creating art. There he found himself inspired by the light and landscapes in this region. He began working with oil paint at the age of 12, and the local environment had an enormous and lasting influence on his palette -giving him luminous colors he continues to use today. His father, being a cabinetmaker, introduced the budding artist to the inner workings of a wood workshop including furniture design, its practical function, and every aspect of hand crafting each piece. Taking this knowledge and experience with him, Bruvel began studies at an art restoration workshop 1974, spending the next three years learning the techniques of the Old Masters and modern Masters of fine art. Thereafter he set up his studio in St. Remy de Provence until 1986 when he first made his way to the United States, making it his permanent residence in 1990. At that time he started to experiment more with sculptures in bronze, mixed media and digital modeling as well as continuing to learn about creative processes in artistic expression. He is currently creating functional art, sculptures, and paintings. Gil Bruvel has been exhibiting his work since 1974 in various places around the world and including: France, Monaco, England, Denmark, The Netherlands, Hungary, Japan, Singapore, New York, Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Hawaii.

Lot: 73 - Charles Becker, California (20/21st century), Continuum, lithograph, 35"H x 27"W (sheet)
Charles Becker California, (20/21st century) Continuum lithograph Damage to upper right corner. Biography from CharlesBeckerArt.com: Charles Becker is an internationally acclaimed artist with collections in over 30 countries including Mexico, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and The Netherlands. He experiments with a variety of styles, depicting genres from classical still life to surrealist paintings, with equal aplomb. His expressions of Magical Realism have captivated the public and secured his place in the contemporary art scene. Magical Realism is a specialized painting style, offering a realistic view of the world while also adding magical elements, often blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. Absolut Vodka commissioned three pieces from him, "Absolut Becker", "Absolut California", and "Absolut Collection", used in advertising in publications such as Connossieur, Interview, and Time magazines. His work has also been featured in Sunstorm, Art & Antiques, USA Today, Art News, U.S. Art, and many other publications. Locales for his notable shows include the Sprit museum in Stockholm, the St. George Art Museum in Utah, and a continuous feature for 20 years at Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco's Union Square. His work is highly sought after for the personal collections of well-known personas, including baseball's Alex Rodrigues, and the founding family of L.L. Bean. Journalist Herb Cain once penned a story in the San Francisco Chronicle mentioning the purchase of Charles' paintings by sumo wrestler Takanohana Koji. Charles' Eastern European Jewish heritage has shaped his approach to life and art. An early stint as a young boy at a Jewish summer camp helped him reflect on his identity, as well as social inequities of minority groups and the strength that comes in their banding together. Speaking about his roots, Charles notes, "Looking at our ancestors and thinking about trying harder to stand up and say something – there's a richness in knowing who they were, what they did to survive, and how they stayed alive long enough for us to be here. It's powerful to be connected with a tribe of people- a larger family". His art resonates with this strong tie between present and past. As an art educator, Charles maintains a teaching studio in Northern California, serving students in five counties and giving online lessons to students around the world. Many of his students have become professional artists.
Lot: 74 - Frederick Phillips, British (b. 1953), The orangerie, lithograph, 36"H x 27"W (sheet)
Frederick Phillips British, (b. 1953) The orangerie lithograph Unsigned. Biography from Sam Heller Fine Art, Inc: Born in 1953 in the English pottery-manufacturing town of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, Frederick Phillips descends from an artistic family background which includes the distinguished Victorian artist, Francis W. Topham (1808-1877). Influenced by Topham's paintings, Phillips became an accomplished watercolorist by the age of twelve. Awarded a scholarship at age seventeen, Phillips began studying at Burslem College of Art. Here he encountered the work of the Surrealist artists and realized that he, too, had begun to create images that could be called "surrealist". Phillips graduated with an Honors Degree in Fine Art at the age of twenty-one. In 1975, he achieved recognition with his first one-man show at the Norton Gallery, Birmingham, England; reviewers compared his early work to the paintings of Rene Magritte. By 1984, Phillips' work was being shown at several London galleries. In 1985, Phillips was introduced to American collectors by a Chicago Gallery. In 1990, Phillips moved to the U.S. through an 'Artist of Exceptional Ability' visa in order to accommodate the practical demands of his rapidly expanding career. In the course of a career that now spans twenty-five years, Phillips' art moved from its basis in surrealism, toward a more subtle approach to the "inner eye" with which he sees the world around him. He addressed this as part of his 1996 lecture, "Dream and Reality in Art", at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art.

Two Kirk Reinert fantasy lithographs: Rainbow Unicorn and Snowfield illumination Biography from KirkReinert.com: KIRK REINERT is an American artist who resides in upstate New York. Kirk discovered that drawing was a natural talent at a very early age having been introduced to art by his grandfather, a sports cartoonist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and his uncle, an animator. Kirk graduated from Cooper School of Art with a degree in production art and design but is a self-taught painter. Upon graduation, he worked in advertising as an illustrator and designer and after 3 1/2 years went on to establish his own studio in 1981. Kirk became one of the leading illustrators in the genres of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. During his career as a book cover artist, he has painted over 200 book covers, including projects such as the 'Conan the Barbarian' series and Clive Barker's novels. He has won many awards including "Cover Artist of the Year" for his "Creepy" and "Eerie" magazine covers at Warren publishing and he has been honored 4 times with the "National Best Book Cover of the Year" awards for work done with Harper/Collins publishers. Also from that era, his book cover paintings were exhibited at the Society of Illustrators in NYC. In addition, Kirk has worked as a conceptual designer for a major motion picture, painted album covers and worked with rock groups such as 'KISS', worked as an art director on video projects, and has been involved in toy design and package design for Hasbro. For the last 18 years, Kirk has concentrated primarily on painting fine art pieces which have shown in galleries across the country and in Japan. In 1988, he took time to learn the lithographic printing process at the prestigious Atelier Ettinger in NYC and to hand draw all of the lithographic plates for his first original limited print edition. In 1990, Kirk started a conceptual collaboration with Lilli Farrell, who, along with being a designer, is a spiritual teacher and has been a natural healer since she was a child. Their teamwork proved to be a catalyst for creating a whole new dimension in Kirk's paintings and in 1993, the paintngs that Kirk and Lilli created together gained immense popularity in Japan. Since then, they have done at least 2 art exhibition tours every year in Japan. Kirk feels that even since his earlier days as an illustrator, he has remained true to his own aesthetic vision. His gifted sense of light, color, and form gives him a special talent for putting life into everything he paints and creating a truly believable experience that touches the imagination of the viewer and brings a feeling of magic to his work. Although Kirk enjoys working with oils and watercolor, the majority of his paintings are painted with acrylic paint on board. In addition, many of Kirk's paintings have been reproduced as limited edition fine art prints.

Original picture taken in 1964. Biography from HowardGreenberg.com: Art Sinsabaugh is the teacher and photographer who fostered new interest in landscape as subject-matter through his wide format photographs of the American rural and urban landscape. Born in New Jersey in 1924, Sinsabaugh moved to the mid-West in 1949 to study and later teach at Chicago's legendary Institute of Design. Together with photographers such as Lázló Moholy-Nagy and Harry Callahan, Sinsabaugh experimented with photographic innovations within a visual framework that was influenced by design principles. He began photographing the mid-West landscape with a standard size camera in 1952, but developed his signature style almost a decade later whilst teaching at the University of Illinois. Sinsabaugh took pictures in Illinois and Indiana with a large format banquet camera that enabled him to work with twelve by twenty inch sheet film. The resulting images were detailed, ribbon-like panoramas that reveal more than the human eye can see. Sinsabaugh used the camera to explore the relationship between humanity and the land, combining wide horizons with telegraph poles, farm dwellings, trees, pylons, cityscapes, massive rivers and corduroy-like ploughed fields in one fell swoop.

Biography from SuperLarge.com: "I am interested in presenting reality more accurately than I can actually see it. On one level, my work is about a certain density. There is more to see than we can actually see." Busch's large format black and white photographs, ranging from 8"x10" to 40"x60" (shot with the world's largest portable camera, designed and built by the artist himself), present images of great beauty and irony, great subtlety and elegance. In Busch's photographs, "actuality is not abbreviated but opened into the world, not merely documented but discovered," states Dr. Donald Bartlett Doe, Director of the Mulvane Art Museum, Topeka, KS. Busch's vision and personal sensibilities enable him to capture the monumental in the ordinary, to inform the details of everyday life with sensitivity and clarity. Robert J. Evans, Director of the Danforth Museum of Art, Framingham, MA, notes, "Busch's combination of technical perfection and personal poetic sensitivity is truly overwhelming. His intense, aesthetic vision combines with his outstanding craftsmanship to produce strong works, simple and direct, yet redolent of the great artistic tradition that preceded him. There is a deeper mood and a quality of light washing through the cityscapes distinct in feeling from what we can see in most American imagery. Busch's sensibility shines through always, creating harmonies that delight the eye." Busch's technical ability is widely acknowledged and respected. His work has been published in virtually every international photographic magazine. Jannes Art Publishing of Chicago, IL writes, "Mr. Busch will become, within the next few years, one of the world's outstanding and most noteworthy black and white photographers. The technical caliber of his work is superb, his vision exciting and strong." Numerous publications have cited Busch's technical expertise in inventing and building photographic equipment for large format photography. Al Weber comments, "Busch's genius is his ability to combine his artistic talent with an uncanny technical expertise in a way which has placed him in a unique position within the international photographic field. By those who are familiar with his work, he is considered one of the most talented and accomplished large format black and white photographers anywhere."

Hiroshi Honda Japan / New York, (b.1910) cityscape view from park watercolor on rice paper signed lower right. Biography from Wikipedia: Hiroshi Honda (1910–1970) was an American painter who was born in Hilo, Hawaii, to Japanese parents who had immigrated to Hawaii at the turn of the 20th century. He was sent to Kumamoto at age six to study and help with the family business, and while there studied sumi-e ink painting. He was conscripted into the Japanese Air Force as a young man, and served for seven years before being wounded and discharged. He returned to Hilo in 1939 and took a job teaching at a local Japanese language school, occasionally doing commercial painting work on the side. In 1940, he met a Nisei woman, Sadako Hashida, and the couple married and moved to Honolulu soon after.[1] Once in Honolulu, Honda began teaching at a Nu'uanu Japanese school, and he spent the morning of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor at the school. Upon returning home, he was arrested by military police and eventually interned at Sand Island. His wife gave birth to the couple's first child in May 1942, and a few months later, upon learning that Honda would be transferred to an internment camp on the mainland, volunteered to accompany him along with her father and sister. Honda was removed from the transport ship at the last minute, resulting in his separation from the family for several months; Sadako and the others were first sent to Jerome, Arkansas, before being transferred to California. Later, in 1943, Sadako's father and sister were assigned to Manzanar, while Honda, Sadako, and their infant son were reunited in the maximum-security Tule Lake Segregation Center.[1] While in Tule Lake, the couple had two more children, a daughter and a second son,[1] and Honda produced many drawings and watercolor paintings.[2] After the war, the Hondas moved to New York, where Hiroshi studied under Yasuo Kuniyoshi, while Sadako worked as a seamstress to support the family. In 1949, the family moved back to Hilo, but Honda soon grew dissatisfied working for his wife's family's agriculture business and returned to New York alone. Sadako eventually remarried to Honda's brother, who had provided financial support to the family after Honda left. Little information on Honda's later life exists on record, but sources suggest that he remained in New York and remarried, as well.[1] The Honolulu Museum of Art, which owns a large collection of Hiroshi Honda's works, has held two solo exhibitions of this artist— Reflections of Internment: The Art of Hawaii's Hiroshi Honda in 1994[3] and Hiroshi Honda: Detained in 2012.[2]

John Carroll American, (1892 - 1959) 2 female portraits graphite and charcoal on paper / lithograph Both pencil signed. Biography from the Archives of askART: John Carroll was a painter famous for his portraits of dreamy, diaphanous women. He also painted landscapes but his portraits became his signature pieces. He painted his subjects in an idealistic way using sweeping strokes and a full brush. Carroll was born on a train while his family was traveling through Wichita, Kansas in 1892. His father was originally from West Virginia but decided to move the family to California in 1892. Carroll grew-up in San Francisco and spent most of his summers on a nearby ranch. He developed an interest in art at an early age and after studying in public school attended the Mark Hopkins Art Academy in San Francisco, California. He continued his studies at the Mark Hopkins Art Academy for three years before becoming an engineering student at the University of California Berkeley for two years (1913-1915).

After a brief involvement with the U.S. Navy in World War I, Carroll moved to Macon, Georgia where he continued to paint. He eventually resettled in New York and was a member of the Woodstock art colony before 1922. While living in New York Carroll designed stained-glass windows for Tiffany &Co. in New York City and also made picture frames for his artist friends.

Carroll went on to teach at the Art Students League in New York and won an award for his art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts, Philadelphia. He became an instructor at the Art Students League in New York in 1926 and traveled to Europe the following year on a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 1930 he became head of the painting department at the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts.

He returned to the Art Students League in New York in 1944 and continued to teach there and exhibit his art in New York. He maintained a studio in New York City but also spent great deal of time on his three hundred acre ranch in East Chatham, New York. Carroll died in Albany, New York in 1959.

Biography from the Archives of askART: Painter Henry Koerner was born in Vienna in 1915 to Jewish parents and trained there as a graphic designer. He immigrated to the United States in 1938 after Hitler came to power. In New York, he won prizes in the National War Poster Competition. He enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving in the Office of Strategic Services in Washington and London. In 1943 he began to paint; in 1945 he was shipped to Germany to draw Nazi war criminals in the Nuremberg Trials. His work was given urgency in 1946 when, returning to Vienna, he learned that his parents (Leo and Fanny Koerner) and brother (Kurt) had died in extermination camps in Belorussia and Poland. In 1947, Henry Koerner had his first one-man show in Berlin, the first exhibition of an artist in post-war Germany. Dealing directly with the trauma of war and loss, his "magic realist" pictures caused a public sensation in the ruined capital. Returning to the U.S. later that year, he had acclaimed exhibitions in New York, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. His paintings were acquired by major museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, which holds three of his works. In 1953 he settled in Pittsburgh and until his death in 1991 divided his time between there and Vienna. Koerner painted (always from life) over 50 Time Magazine covers between 1955 and 1967, including covers of John. F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. He was honored, after his death in 1991, by retrospectives in the Austrian National Gallery and the Frick Art Museum in Pittsburgh. The Henry Koerner Center, serving emeritus faculty as a place to meet and work, opened at Yale University in January 2003. Located in the Pierpont House at Yale, it was made possible by a gift from Lisbet Rausing and Joseph Koerner '80, through the Fanny and Leo Koerner Charitable Trust. Joseph Koerner is Henry Koerner's son. Yale President Richard C. Levin described Henry Koerner as "a massively prolific artist who, distant from mainstream 20th-century art, produced an eccentric corpus unusual for its humor, formal beauty and spiritual purpose. A great portraitist of the experience of survival, Koerner is appropriately honored by the center."
Lot: 167 - Karl Knaths, American (1891 - 1971), 3 figural sketches, graphite on paper, 8"H x 6 1/4"W (sight), 13"H x 11"W (mat)
Karl Knaths American, (1891 - 1971) 3 figural sketches graphite on paper Stamped with initials lower right and "Estate of Karl Knaths" verso. Biography from Spanierman Gallery: A painter recognized for his highly individual interpretation of Cubism, Karl Knaths was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, in 1891. He grew up in the Midwest, and in 1912, he moved to Chicago, where he studied at the School of the Art Institute for four years. In 1913, he saw the Chicago exhibition of the groundbreaking Armory Show and was immediately drawn to the modernist work from Paris, especially the art of Paul Cézanne. Massachusetts in 1919. His earliest work was inspired by the art of the Impressionists. However, after fraternizing with many of the local artists who had experienced the progressive art life of Paris, and by studying the examples of advanced European art in books and magazines, Knaths became deeply influenced by Cubism. By the late 1920s, he had evolved a very personal approach to this aesthetic, basing his abstract, but still recognizable compositions on seascapes and still life subjects. During the 1930s, Knaths developed a complex theoretical basis for his painting. He began to structure his pictures according to strict rules of composition and color, inspired by the ideas of such artists as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky. Using the classification system of colors developed by Wilhelm Ostwald, he would preselect the colors for his palette before starting to paint, for in Knath's view, color, like music, could be organized according to a system of notation. In this respect, each of Knath's canvases became a unique color composition, since the artist never used the same arrangement more than once. Throughout his career, Knaths drew his iconography from his Provincetown environment, depicting the local fisherfolk, docks, shanties, dunes, and moors, and the familiar objects in his house. As his commitment to Abstraction developed, he was invited to exhibit with the American Abstract Artists group in 1936. He was also active as a teacher and lecturer, giving annual courses at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. from 1937 until 1950, and was affiliated, at various times, with Black Mountain College and the Skohegan (Maine) School of Painting and Sculpture. Duncan Phillips, Knaths first and for many years his only patron, did much to establish the artist's reputation. Despite Knath's innovative attitudes, he did work in relative isolation for much of his career, making only the occasional visit to New York or Boston and never feeling the need to travel to Europe. Knaths died in Provincetown in 1971. Examples of his poetic, Cubist-inspired paintings can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, as well as at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and many more. In 1973, a major retrospective of his work was circulated to six American museums by the International Exhibitions Foundation.

Mae Alice Engron Indiana, (1933-2007) 2 seated female nude figures with moonlit sky 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.

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 produced the No Date No Title catalog, the only catalog to date of Engron's work. Written and submitted by Jill Moniz, phd, curator of the artist's estate.

Albert Swayhoover Florida, (b. 1931) Osprey Point offset lithograph Gallery label verso. Biography from the Archives of askART: The following is from the artist: For 40 years, Albert Swayhoover has been creating paintings intended to capture the total experience of nature with a focus on achieving superb technique and unique textural imagery. Swayhoover is committed to using the painting knife. Forsaking the traditional brushes, and using only a series of knives, his goal is to breathe life into delicate beach grasses as well as fierce storm clouds. He also strives for beautifully structured composition with subtle shifts of color and modulating of impastos to create an immediate environmental experience on canvas. " I love the sounds and sights of boat yards, marsh grass blowing in the wind, old weathered buildings and rocky shores. All of these give me pleasure and inspiration for my work. My idea of a perfect afternoon is to sit on a dock sketching a harbor scene or to follow a stone wall and discover a wonderful old farm on a snowy hillside." Albert Swayhoover was born in New York City. He studied art at New York College at Farmingdale and at the School of Visual Arts, dividing his time between painting and a successful career in advertising. The demand for his canvases increased steadily and, in 1966, he left advertising to devote himself totally to painting. " I am a self taught painter. I did not want to be influenced by other artists. This I believe is the only way to achieve successes in the art world today. You must develop a distinct style and stick to it." He is the recipient of over 25 awards, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Award given by the Salmagundi Club. He has had over 40 successful one-man shows in leading galleries across America. Some of his works hang in important private collections as well as the corporate collections IBM, Chase Manhattan CBS and others.

Tom Lovell New York, New Mexico, (1909 - 1997) Professor Lowe's Balloon, 1975 lithographic print Pencil signed lower left, edition 565/1500, 1992 Greenwich Workshop print. Provenance: Altermann Galleries, NM Biography from the Archives of askART: A well-known illustrators in New York City and then a painter of Western subjects, Tom Lovell paid great attention to details in his work and, because of this, seldom completed more than a dozen major oil paintings a year. Lovell was born in New York City and attended high school in Nutley New Jersey. As valedictorian of his class, he spoke on the "Ill Treatment of the American Indian by the U.S. Government," a harbinger of his depictions of the West. In 1931, he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Syracuse University in New York. For thirty-nine years he was a freelance illustrator for many well-known magazines including Colliers, McCalls, and National Geographic. He was also known as a pulp illustrator, associated with "Dime Mystery" where his "ingenuity at picturing the bizarre instruments of torture dreamed up in the pulp writers' imaginations was nothing short of remarkable". (Haining 135). In 1975, he and his wife moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and that same year, he was elected to the Cowboy Artists of America. Many of his paintings focus on historical western subjects such as relations between white men and Indians and early expeditions.

He also did illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post, Newsweek, and Argosy. In the early 1970s, his work began attracting the attention of collectors. His first paintings were primarily Western subject matter, and from 1977 he has had nine one-man shows at the Hammer Gallery in New York City. In 1982, he had a commission from CBS to do a painting for the television mini series "Blue and Gray," and this activity directed his attention to the Civil War.

Emanuel Mattini Iranian, (b. 1966) Melodium II mixed media print AKA Babak Emanuel? Pencil signed lower right, edition 20/175. Biography from Art Works Gallery BC: Babak Emanuel is an artist strongly influenced by music -- his works are melodies played in textured forms, brilliant in colour, exciting and fresh in design, a metamorphosis of the extension of music into art, of the human form transposed to music, music to art, art to human expression, human expression to the rhythm of life. The quieting play of sound, the expression of scale relating to the yin and yang of colour and motion, in his life a swell as his art. His sound of art is a freshness of style and approach - a blend of the modern with the antique reflecting an age of quality - quality of meaning, quality of image. These qualities were ingrained in Babak in his native Shiraz, Iran, the famed valley of poets and philosophers, where he was born in 1966. The teachings of these poets and philosophers were furthered at the Atlanta Institute of Art where he graduated in June of 1987 after extensive studies in painting and photography. This marriage of the discipline of photography with the controlled freedom of painting is evident in his use of perspective. Also an accomplished serigrapher, he applies these skills in his present painting style - a style which reflects his thoughts, soul and dreams is recognizable to the viewers as uniquely Babak. Babak's work appears in galleries and private collections throughout the world.
Lot: 294 - Alan Davie, Scottish (1920 - 2014), I, abstract composition, lithograph, 24 3/4"H x 35 1/4"H
Alan Davie Scottish, (1920 - 2014) I, abstract composition lithograph Pencil signed lower right, edition 60/75. Biography from the Archives of askART: Born in Scotland in 1920 Alan Davie studied at Edinburgh College of Art between 1937 and 1940. In 1942 he won the Guthrie Award for the best painting by a young artist at the Scottish Royal Academy summer exhibition. Davie went on to gain international recognition and today he is considered by many to be one of the most important British artists of the post-war era. His work can be seen in galleries and museums worldwide; in Britain these include the Tate and the Scottish National Museum of Modern Art. Davie is also an accomplished jewelry designer and jazz musician. Davie travelled widely and in Venice became influenced by other painters of the period, such as Paul Klee, Jackson Pollock and Joan Miró, as well as by a wide range of cultural symbols. In particular, his painting style owes much to his affinity with Zen. Having read Eugen Herrigel's book Zen in the Art of Archery (1953) he has assimilated the spontaneity which Zen emphasizes Declaring that the spiritual path is incompatible with planning ahead, he has attempted to paint as automatically as possible, which is intended to bring forth elements of his unconscious. Like Pollock, many of Davie's works have been executed by standing above the painting, which is laid on the ground. He adds layers of paint until sometimes the original painting has been covered over many times. However, despite the speed at which he works (he has usually had several paintings on the go at once), he is adamant that his images are not pure abstraction, but all have significance as symbols. As well as painting, whether on canvas or paper (he has stated that he prefers to work on paper), Davie has recently produced several screenprints. He found a public for his work on the continent and in America some time before the British art public could reconcile itself to his mixture of ancient and newly invented of symbols and his explosive brushwork. His paintings appear at once apocalyptic and triumphant. In his lectures Davie stressed the importance of improvisation as his chosen method. His stance was that of an inspired soothsayer resisting the inroads of rational civilization.

William Gropper New York, (1897 - 1977) Watergate Series #10 / Lawyers / The Budget / Watergate Series #8 / The Opposition / Watergate Series #5 6 color lithographs on wove paper All pencil signed and numbered ed of 200, and one AP Roman numeral edition. Biography from the Archives of askART: New-York born artist William Gropper was a painter and cartoonist who, with caricature style, focused on social concerns, and was actively engaged in support of the organized labor movement throughout his career. During the 1930s, working as a part of the Federal Arts Project, he produced some of the most gripping social protest works of the Great Depression. Subjects included industrial strikes and incidents of strike breaking, especially in the coal mining and steel-production centers. He did much illustration-cartoon work for the New York Tribune newspaper, Vanity Fair magazine and the politically 'left-wing' publication, "New Masses." Gropper's painting, Youngstown Strike, has received much attention for its strong, social-realist impact and was apparently prompted by the extended strikes staged in 1936-37 by workers at the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, Youngstown, Ohio. During these years chaos frequently reigned throughout much of the city. In one incident, following a savage confrontation with police guards by workers and their families, the police tear gassed and shot at the workers; two strikers were killed and twenty-eight injured. Gropper visited Youngstown during this period, and commented on the incident in an article and a series of descriptive action sketches published in The Nation. Some of his other pieces focused on the hypocrisy of government figures, especially members of the United States Senate. As a young man, William Gropper was a student of Robert Henri and George Bellows at the Ferrer School from 1912 to 1915. He did fine-art painting on the side until the early 1920s, and had his first solo exhibition in 1936. In 1938, he completed a mural for the Department of the Interior in Washington DC.

Radulovic was very prominent in St. Louis in the 1930s, and is remembered for being the charismatic and enthusiastic leader of the avant-garde artists and creative people of the day, not least because he operated a place called "Little Bohemia" where artists hung out, drank coffee and beer, ate sandwiches, philosophized, and exhibited their work. He was first successful with batik work, but later settled more on painting. He left St. Louis in 1941 to join the Army, where he served as an official War Dept. artist. Savo Radulovic died in December of 1991. Sources include: Peter Falk, Who Was Who in American Art

Lot: 298 - Raphael Soyer, New York / Russia (1899-1987), Seated Woman, 1979, lithograph
Raphael Soyer New York / Russia, (1899-1987) Seated Woman, 1979 lithograph Pencil signed lower right, 66/275. Biography from the Archives of askART: Born in Borisoglebsk, Russia in 1899, Raphael Soyer is identified as a Social Realist* painter because of his interest in the common man, although he avoided subjects that were particularly critical of society. Soyer moved with his family to the Lower East Side of New York City in 1913, after they were deported from Russia by the Tsarist regime. His father, a Hebrew teacher and writer, encouraged artistic and intellectual pursuits. His popularity with his students in Russia and his liberal ideas led to problems for him with the authorities, and he was forced to leave with his family. Soyer left school at sixteen to help support the family. He attended free classes at Cooper Union* and at the National Academy of Design*. Guy Pene du Bois, a teacher at the Art Students League*, recognized his talent and introduced him to Charles Daniel, who gave him his first solo exhibition in 1929. The success of this event secured his position as a professional artist. The experience of immigrant life in the United States provided him with a rich source of imagery for his art, which was sensitive, penetrating portrayals including transients, shoppers, dancers, and fellow artists. Near his studio in Manhattan's Lower East Side he observed his fellow New Yorkers. His subjects were portrayed with strong, flat colors, which evoked a sense of isolation. Common themes were intimate studies of solitary women, often nudes, and portraits of fellow artists, reflecting his great affection and admiration for them. Soyer's most frequent model was himself, often posed with pencil or brush in hand, as in Self-Portrait ca. 1927, and his work was mainly in oil and lithography*. He did not accept commissions for portraits because his interest was with the private person and the effects of the modern world on the psyche, rather than a public facade. Artists he admired, such as Rembrandt, Degas, and Eakins, he felt were dedicated to showing their times truthfully, and emphasized inner character more than physical beauty. Both of Soyer's brothers, Moses and Isaac, were also artists. With his identical twin Moses, he painted murals for the post office in Kingessing, Pennsylvania. He also taught at the Art Students League. He was a co-founder of Reality magazine and champion of Realism* at a time when Abstract Expressionism* dominated the American art scene. The Depression's economic difficulties could be seen in his subjects, and unemployed men caught Soyer's eye. Women at work became a theme with Soyer after 1940. On November 4, 1987, he died in New York.

Biography from the Archives of askART: Born and raised in the south end of Boston, Jack Levine created social satirical pieces exposing the foibles and venals sins of mobsters and politicians, underworld characters whose actions are obviously insincere. He also satirized the middle class and created paintings of Biblical subjects. He enrolled in art classes at the Museum Fine Arts School of Boston and came under the influence of Dr. Denman Ross of Harvard University who, recognizing talent, gave him free art lessons. Levine was especially interested in the Old Masters at the Fogg Museum at Harvard. In 1935, he became a W.P.A. artist, using his experience growing up in a lower class neighborhood in his subject matter. He developed a modern Social Realism while borrowing from the techniques of Rembrandt and El Greco, something he calls "Old Master Pudding." He also learned methods from satirists Honore Daumier, Francisco Goya, and George Grosz. Levine's technique was to apply slashing strokes of color in thin layers of oil and then glaze, making his surfaces sparkle. His lampoons of rich people were especially suited to this method because their skin glitters and seems to corrode with light.

Hisashi Otsuka Japanese, (b.1947) Path of Bushido, 1995 / Home of Bushido, 1995 2 embossed lithographs Embossed signature, date, and chop mark lower. Biography from Bloomington Auction Gallery: Otsuka was born in 1947 into an exceptionally creative family. His natural artistic talents were encouraged and eventually developed formally in apprenticeship to one of Japan's foremost designers of kimonos, Taeko Jo. When Otsuka first came to Jo, he did little more than clean brushes and cook for the staff. The Bushido code, which specifies training in all the arts and sciences, determines that the technique of the art form is taught only after the student has learned service, duty and discipline. It was three years before Otsuka could cut a piece of cloth or paint a single stroke. Otsuka remained with Jo for eight years. Otsuka came to the West - to Hawaii - in 1979. Until that time his painting had been historical in subject and theme. But now it has emerged from the past in ways that are very exciting. In his neo-deco style - a dramatic new movement in the world of art - Otsuka's compositions have evolved to a decorative elegance. Otsuka's art has achieved an important transition: a cross-cultural excellence that not only appeals to East and West artistically, but also brings them together in understanding. This, after all, is Otsuka's personal mission, and he pursues it with splendid dedication.

When Otsuka first came to Jo, he did little more than clean brushes and cook for the staff. The Bushido code, which specifies training in all the arts and sciences, determines that the technique of the art form is taught only after the student has learned service, duty and discipline. It was three years before Otsuka could cut a piece of cloth or paint a single stroke. Otsuka remained with Jo for eight years. Otsuka came to the West - to Hawaii - in 1979. Until that time his painting had been historical in subject and theme. But now it has emerged from the past in ways that are very exciting. In his neo-deco style - a dramatic new movement in the world of art - Otsuka's compositions have evolved to a decorative elegance. Otsuka's art has achieved an important transition: a cross-cultural excellence that not only appeals to East and West artistically, but also brings them together in understanding. This, after all, is Otsuka's personal mission, and he pursues it with splendid dedication.

Caroline Young Chinese American, (20/21st century) Spirit Unconquered embossed lithograph Chop mark lower right. As the adopted child of Chinese-American expatriates living in Hong Kong, Caroline young was immersed from an early age in the myths, legends, and philosophies of Chinese culture. These ancient narratives, blending mysticism with Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, offered more than moral lessons—they served as explanations for the mysteries of the universe: the origin of the sun, the power of lightning, and the balance between nature and spirit. This interweaving of myth, history, and spirituality forms the foundation of Young's work. Young paints in watercolor, acrylic, and gouache on Japanese silk, using the labor-intensive traditional Chinese gongbi style. This meticulous technique involves applying numerous transparent washes to build up rich, layered color and detail. Every piece is steeped in symbolism, with imagery drawn directly from the artist's interpretation of each story, and emotion conveyed through color. Through this body of work, Young seeks not only to share the richness of over five thousand years of Chinese civilization but also to reflect on the ethos and aspirations of modern-day China.

Biography from the Archives of askART: Western painter and illustrator known for depictions of plains Indians in action, Frank McCarthy spent much of his career in New York City and the last years in Arizona. He was born in New York City and for twenty-one years was as an illustrator for major magazines including "Colliers," "Argosy" and "True" and for paperback book publishers. He studied at Pratt Institute and the Art Students League in New York and then followed a course of commercial art. Many of his illustrations were large western paintings, something that continued to earn him a reputation as a top-selling artist. His work was also reproduced and distributed by The Greenwich Workshop. In 1973, he had his first major exhibition of his paintings, a show of twenty-three canvases, at the Husburg Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona, and it sold out in twenty minutes. This success caused him to make a total commitment to fine art, and he moved from New York to Arizona. A popular motif of his has been high-speed action, especially stampeding buffalo. In 1975, he was elected a member of the Cowboy Artists of America, and in 1998, he resigned from the organization. In 1997, he was indicted into the "Illustrators Hall of Fame."

Frank C. McCarthy New York, Arizona, (1924 - 2002) Burning the Way Station, 1979 offset lithograph Pencil signed lower left, 720/1000. Printed 1980. Biography from the Archives of askART: Western painter and illustrator known for depictions of plains Indians in action, Frank McCarthy spent much of his career in New York City and the last years in Arizona. He was born in New York City and for twenty-one years was as an illustrator for major magazines including "Colliers," "Argosy" and "True" and for paperback book publishers. He studied at Pratt Institute and the Art Students League in New York and then followed a course of commercial art. Many of his illustrations were large western paintings, something that continued to earn him a reputation as a top-selling artist. His work was also reproduced and distributed by The Greenwich Workshop. In 1973, he had his first major exhibition of his paintings, a show of twenty-three canvases, at the Husburg Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona, and it sold out in twenty minutes. This success caused him to make a total commitment to fine art, and he moved from New York to Arizona. A popular motif of his has been high-speed action, especially stampeding buffalo. In 1975, he was elected a member of the Cowboy Artists of America, and in 1998, he resigned from the organization. In 1997, he was indicted into the "Illustrators Hall of Fame." He is also a member of the Northwest Rendezvous Group and has exhibited at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Western Heritage Center and had a retrospective at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Lot: 45 - David Halbach, Arizona, California (b. 1931), Overlooked, 2002, giclee print, 13 1/2"H x 18 1/2"W (Sheet)
David Halbach Arizona, California, (b. 1931) Overlooked, 2002 giclee print Pencil signed lower right. Cowboy Artists of America print published by The Greenwich Workshop. Biography from Altermann Galleries and Auctioneers: David Halbach wanted to be an artist for as long as he could remember. At first, it was for recognition from his parents, and then later in junior high school he discovered that he had a real talent. He completed his first paintings when he was in sixth grade, and after that he just kept on painting. Since Halbach's grades were not good enough to become the doctor or lawyer his mother had hoped he would become, he attended the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, California. After finishing art school and a tour in the Navy, Halbach went to work as an animator for Disney studios working on Lady and the Tramp. Leaving Disney, he then entered into commercial art and advertising, and eventually became an art teacher, a position that allowed him to create fine art and refresh his knowledge of the basics. Leaving California, Halbach and his wife, Jean, moved to Arizona, where he began to work as a professional artist. He began to sell his paintings through galleries and is now known as a successful watercolorist. A painter in American Western genre, Halbach researches subjects for his works extensively. He says, "There is a lot of truth in 'Paint what you know.'" Living in Arizona was conducive to creating the Western scenes that he had loved since he was a child, and he began to carefully investigate the history of the West and all that was needed to make his work honest and correct. That investigation brought back memories of the many times he had played cowboys and Indians when he was young, memories which inspired him in his endeavors. According to Halbach, "A child's imagination is an important asset to an artist. It mustn't be lost." Halbach has a special affection for the Hopi Indians, their pueblos and their culture, and that affection plays an important part in his art. He encourages the viewer to use their imagination, always allowing for a little mystery in each image. Reference: www.claggettrey.com

John Thomas Biggers American, (1924 - 2001) The Contribution of Negro Women to American Life and Education limited edition color lithograph After the original mural in Houston, TX. Biography from Michael Rosenfeld Gallery: Known for his narrative murals and outstanding draftsmanship, John Biggers dedicated his work to the depiction of the human condition. Born in Gastonia, North Carolina, he studied at Hampton Institute (1941-1946) - later renamed Hampton University - under Victor Lowenfeld and Charles White. In 1943, Biggers's mural "Dying Soldier" was featured in the Museum of Modern Art's landmark exhibition "Young Negro Art", organized by Lowenfeld. After serving in the United States Navy (1943-1945), he enrolled in Pennsylvania State University (where Lowenfeld had relocated), earning a B.S. and M.S. (1948), and Ph.D. (1954). In 1949, Biggers moved to Houston, Texas where he founded and then chaired the art department at Texas Southern University. In 1950, he was awarded first prize at the annual exhibition of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston for his painting, "The Cradle". In 1957, he traveled to Africa on a UNESCO grant to study Western African cultural traditions, becoming one of the first black artists to travel to Africa. This opportunity, which he described as "the most significant in my life's experiences," led to the publication of "Ananse: The Web of Life in Africa" (1961), a book of drawings and text based on his journeys in Ghana, Nigeria and other parts of Africa. Whether drawing African women dancing or creating one of his twenty-seven public murals, Biggers drew inspiration from his ancestral heritage, African art, Southern black culture, nature, and everyday experiences. Often labeled a social realist for his figurative social commentary of the 1940s, Biggers did work continually evolved over five decades, and in 1995, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and Hampton University Art Museum organized his first comprehensive retrospective, exposing the depth of his oeuvre. John Biggers died in 2001, leaving behind a body of work that, as Maya Angelou stated, "leads us through his expressions into the discovery of ourselves at our most intimate level."

Biography from Graphis.com: With his distinctive airbrushing method and ravenous attention to detail, Doug Johnson's art owned the 1970s and 1980s. Making heavy use of dreamy colors, exceptional hard lighting accents and the round warmth of cartoons, Johnson's art is nothing short of an eye-popping, psychedelic experience. Far from the garish excesses of other illustrators of his time, Johnson's approach successfully balanced refinement and his altered point of view. He has a knack for making the subjects of his art seem simultaneously lifelike and fantastical. It can be seen in album covers he produced for rock groups Ike & Tina Turner and Judas Priest. For the Turners, Johnson aptly captured the group's international fame and coupled it with their elaborate, high-energy stage show. With Judas Priest, Johnson was able retain his classis style and inject it simultaneously with baleful subjects, more in line with the sinister qualities of heavy metal. Johnson is versatile. He made film posters for epic films like 1900, designed the cover for the 1972 Manhattan Yellow Pages and has fielded work for scores of clients including Life, Esquire and Time magazines, numerous advertising accounts and record sleeves.

Biography from WaterStreet.gallery: Michael Atkinson uses brilliant color and design which has won him international acclaim, but that has not stopped this native Texan from continually exploring reality through new media and images of the mind and heart. Atkinson seeks to capture the emotion, be it subtle or exaggerated, a pursuit that has been in evolution since he started painting as a child in the northwest Texas town of Lubbock. Attracted early to the study of architecture, he earned a degree from Texas Tech University, then taught and worked in the field for a time. He soon realized that he was most drawn to the design and presentation aspects of his profession. In the summer of 1974, he took time off to concentrate on his painting. The response to his work was so great, he made the decision to paint full time. A painting by Michael Atkinson is immediately recognizable by its composition. He feels that watercolor permits spontaneity and freedom and can be made to do things on its own utilizing texture, density of color, variation of light and dark. White space is also an essential element of the ‘Atkinson look'. In addition to his dazzling medium of watercolor, Atkinson demonstrates his excellent artistic ability with beautiful bronze sculpture. His bronze pieces mirror the electricity of his two dimensional work, earning a grand reception from his legions of collectors.

There he found himself inspired by the light and landscapes in this region. He began working with oil paint at the age of 12, and the local environment had an enormous and lasting influence on his palette -giving him luminous colors he continues to use today. His father, being a cabinetmaker, introduced the budding artist to the inner workings of a wood workshop including furniture design, its practical function, and every aspect of hand crafting each piece. Taking this knowledge and experience with him, Bruvel began studies at an art restoration workshop 1974, spending the next three years learning the techniques of the Old Masters and modern Masters of fine art. Thereafter he set up his studio in St. Remy de Provence until 1986 when he first made his way to the United States, making it his permanent residence in 1990. At that time he started to experiment more with sculptures in bronze, mixed media and digital modeling as well as continuing to learn about creative processes in artistic expression.

Charles Becker California, (20/21st century) Continuum lithograph Damage to upper right corner. Biography from CharlesBeckerArt.com: Charles Becker is an internationally acclaimed artist with collections in over 30 countries including Mexico, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and The Netherlands. He experiments with a variety of styles, depicting genres from classical still life to surrealist paintings, with equal aplomb. His expressions of Magical Realism have captivated the public and secured his place in the contemporary art scene. Magical Realism is a specialized painting style, offering a realistic view of the world while also adding magical elements, often blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. Absolut Vodka commissioned three pieces from him, "Absolut Becker", "Absolut California", and "Absolut Collection", used in advertising in publications such as Connossieur, Interview, and Time magazines. His work has also been featured in Sunstorm, Art & Antiques, USA Today, Art News, U.S. Art, and many other publications. Locales for his notable shows include the Sprit museum in Stockholm, the St. George Art Museum in Utah, and a continuous feature for 20 years at Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco's Union Square. His work is highly sought after for the personal collections of well-known personas, including baseball's Alex Rodrigues, and the founding family of L.L. Bean. Journalist Herb Cain once penned a story in the San Francisco Chronicle mentioning the purchase of Charles' paintings by sumo wrestler Takanohana Koji. Charles' Eastern European Jewish heritage has shaped his approach to life and art. An early stint as a young boy at a Jewish summer camp helped him reflect on his identity, as well as social inequities of minority groups and the strength that comes in their banding together. Speaking about his roots, Charles notes, "Looking at our ancestors and thinking about trying harder to stand up and say something – there's a richness in knowing who they were, what they did to survive, and how they stayed alive long enough for us to be here. It's powerful to be connected with a tribe of people- a larger family". His art resonates with this strong tie between present and past. As an art educator, Charles maintains a teaching studio in Northern California, serving students in five counties and giving online lessons to students around the world. Many of his students have become professional artists.

Frederick Phillips British, (b. 1953) The orangerie lithograph Unsigned. Biography from Sam Heller Fine Art, Inc: Born in 1953 in the English pottery-manufacturing town of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, Frederick Phillips descends from an artistic family background which includes the distinguished Victorian artist, Francis W. Topham (1808-1877). Influenced by Topham's paintings, Phillips became an accomplished watercolorist by the age of twelve. Awarded a scholarship at age seventeen, Phillips began studying at Burslem College of Art. Here he encountered the work of the Surrealist artists and realized that he, too, had begun to create images that could be called "surrealist". Phillips graduated with an Honors Degree in Fine Art at the age of twenty-one. In 1975, he achieved recognition with his first one-man show at the Norton Gallery, Birmingham, England; reviewers compared his early work to the paintings of Rene Magritte. By 1984, Phillips' work was being shown at several London galleries. In 1985, Phillips was introduced to American collectors by a Chicago Gallery. In 1990, Phillips moved to the U.S. through an 'Artist of Exceptional Ability' visa in order to accommodate the practical demands of his rapidly expanding career. In the course of a career that now spans twenty-five years, Phillips' art moved from its basis in surrealism, toward a more subtle approach to the "inner eye" with which he sees the world around him. He addressed this as part of his 1996 lecture, "Dream and Reality in Art", at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art.

Two Kirk Reinert fantasy lithographs: Rainbow Unicorn and Snowfield illumination Biography from KirkReinert.com: KIRK REINERT is an American artist who resides in upstate New York. Kirk discovered that drawing was a natural talent at a very early age having been introduced to art by his grandfather, a sports cartoonist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and his uncle, an animator. Kirk graduated from Cooper School of Art with a degree in production art and design but is a self-taught painter. Upon graduation, he worked in advertising as an illustrator and designer and after 3 1/2 years went on to establish his own studio in 1981. Kirk became one of the leading illustrators in the genres of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. During his career as a book cover artist, he has painted over 200 book covers, including projects such as the 'Conan the Barbarian' series and Clive Barker's novels. He has won many awards including "Cover Artist of the Year" for his "Creepy" and "Eerie" magazine covers at Warren publishing and he has been honored 4 times with the "National Best Book Cover of the Year" awards for work done with Harper/Collins publishers. Also from that era, his book cover paintings were exhibited at the Society of Illustrators in NYC. In addition, Kirk has worked as a conceptual designer for a major motion picture, painted album covers and worked with rock groups such as 'KISS', worked as an art director on video projects, and has been involved in toy design and package design for Hasbro. For the last 18 years, Kirk has concentrated primarily on painting fine art pieces which have shown in galleries across the country and in Japan. In 1988, he took time to learn the lithographic printing process at the prestigious Atelier Ettinger in NYC and to hand draw all of the lithographic plates for his first original limited print edition. In 1990, Kirk started a conceptual collaboration with Lilli Farrell, who, along with being a designer, is a spiritual teacher and has been a natural healer since she was a child. Their teamwork proved to be a catalyst for creating a whole new dimension in Kirk's paintings and in 1993, the paintngs that Kirk and Lilli created together gained immense popularity in Japan. Since then, they have done at least 2 art exhibition tours every year in Japan. Kirk feels that even since his earlier days as an illustrator, he has remained true to his own aesthetic vision. His gifted sense of light, color, and form gives him a special talent for putting life into everything he paints and creating a truly believable experience that touches the imagination of the viewer and brings a feeling of magic to his work. Although Kirk enjoys working with oils and watercolor, the majority of his paintings are painted with acrylic paint on board. In addition, many of Kirk's paintings have been reproduced as limited edition fine art prints.

Original picture taken in 1964. Biography from HowardGreenberg.com: Art Sinsabaugh is the teacher and photographer who fostered new interest in landscape as subject-matter through his wide format photographs of the American rural and urban landscape. Born in New Jersey in 1924, Sinsabaugh moved to the mid-West in 1949 to study and later teach at Chicago's legendary Institute of Design. Together with photographers such as Lázló Moholy-Nagy and Harry Callahan, Sinsabaugh experimented with photographic innovations within a visual framework that was influenced by design principles. He began photographing the mid-West landscape with a standard size camera in 1952, but developed his signature style almost a decade later whilst teaching at the University of Illinois. Sinsabaugh took pictures in Illinois and Indiana with a large format banquet camera that enabled him to work with twelve by twenty inch sheet film. The resulting images were detailed, ribbon-like panoramas that reveal more than the human eye can see. Sinsabaugh used the camera to explore the relationship between humanity and the land, combining wide horizons with telegraph poles, farm dwellings, trees, pylons, cityscapes, massive rivers and corduroy-like ploughed fields in one fell swoop.

Joe continues to explore the use of the computer with photography along with more traditional methods of art.

Biography from SuperLarge.com: "I am interested in presenting reality more accurately than I can actually see it. On one level, my work is about a certain density. There is more to see than we can actually see." Busch's large format black and white photographs, ranging from 8"x10" to 40"x60" (shot with the world's largest portable camera, designed and built by the artist himself), present images of great beauty and irony, great subtlety and elegance. In Busch's photographs, "actuality is not abbreviated but opened into the world, not merely documented but discovered," states Dr. Donald Bartlett Doe, Director of the Mulvane Art Museum, Topeka, KS. Busch's vision and personal sensibilities enable him to capture the monumental in the ordinary, to inform the details of everyday life with sensitivity and clarity. Robert J. Evans, Director of the Danforth Museum of Art, Framingham, MA, notes, "Busch's combination of technical perfection and personal poetic sensitivity is truly overwhelming. His intense, aesthetic vision combines with his outstanding craftsmanship to produce strong works, simple and direct, yet redolent of the great artistic tradition that preceded him. There is a deeper mood and a quality of light washing through the cityscapes distinct in feeling from what we can see in most American imagery. Busch's sensibility shines through always, creating harmonies that delight the eye." Busch's technical ability is widely acknowledged and respected. His work has been published in virtually every international photographic magazine. Jannes Art Publishing of Chicago, IL writes, "Mr. Busch will become, within the next few years, one of the world's outstanding and most noteworthy black and white photographers. The technical caliber of his work is superb, his vision exciting and strong." Numerous publications have cited Busch's technical expertise in inventing and building photographic equipment for large format photography. Al Weber comments, "Busch's genius is his ability to combine his artistic talent with an uncanny technical expertise in a way which has placed him in a unique position within the international photographic field. By those who are familiar with his work, he is considered one of the most talented and accomplished large format black and white photographers anywhere."

Hiroshi Honda Japan / New York, (b.1910) cityscape view from park watercolor on rice paper signed lower right. Biography from Wikipedia: Hiroshi Honda (1910–1970) was an American painter who was born in Hilo, Hawaii, to Japanese parents who had immigrated to Hawaii at the turn of the 20th century. He was sent to Kumamoto at age six to study and help with the family business, and while there studied sumi-e ink painting. He was conscripted into the Japanese Air Force as a young man, and served for seven years before being wounded and discharged. He returned to Hilo in 1939 and took a job teaching at a local Japanese language school, occasionally doing commercial painting work on the side. In 1940, he met a Nisei woman, Sadako Hashida, and the couple married and moved to Honolulu soon after.[1] Once in Honolulu, Honda began teaching at a Nu'uanu Japanese school, and he spent the morning of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor at the school. Upon returning home, he was arrested by military police and eventually interned at Sand Island. His wife gave birth to the couple's first child in May 1942, and a few months later, upon learning that Honda would be transferred to an internment camp on the mainland, volunteered to accompany him along with her father and sister. Honda was removed from the transport ship at the last minute, resulting in his separation from the family for several months; Sadako and the others were first sent to Jerome, Arkansas, before being transferred to California. Later, in 1943, Sadako's father and sister were assigned to Manzanar, while Honda, Sadako, and their infant son were reunited in the maximum-security Tule Lake Segregation Center.[1] While in Tule Lake, the couple had two more children, a daughter and a second son,[1] and Honda produced many drawings and watercolor paintings.[2] After the war, the Hondas moved to New York, where Hiroshi studied under Yasuo Kuniyoshi, while Sadako worked as a seamstress to support the family. In 1949, the family moved back to Hilo, but Honda soon grew dissatisfied working for his wife's family's agriculture business and returned to New York alone. Sadako eventually remarried to Honda's brother, who had provided financial support to the family after Honda left. Little information on Honda's later life exists on record, but sources suggest that he remained in New York and remarried, as well.[1] The Honolulu Museum of Art, which owns a large collection of Hiroshi Honda's works, has held two solo exhibitions of this artist— Reflections of Internment: The Art of Hawaii's Hiroshi Honda in 1994[3] and Hiroshi Honda: Detained in 2012.[2]

John Carroll American, (1892 - 1959) 2 female portraits graphite and charcoal on paper / lithograph Both pencil signed. Biography from the Archives of askART: John Carroll was a painter famous for his portraits of dreamy, diaphanous women. He also painted landscapes but his portraits became his signature pieces. He painted his subjects in an idealistic way using sweeping strokes and a full brush. Carroll was born on a train while his family was traveling through Wichita, Kansas in 1892. His father was originally from West Virginia but decided to move the family to California in 1892. Carroll grew-up in San Francisco and spent most of his summers on a nearby ranch. He developed an interest in art at an early age and after studying in public school attended the Mark Hopkins Art Academy in San Francisco, California. He continued his studies at the Mark Hopkins Art Academy for three years before becoming an engineering student at the University of California Berkeley for two years (1913-1915). In 1915 he studied art in Cincinnati, Ohio, where an early influence was Frank Duveneck, with whom he studied. After a brief involvement with the U.S. Navy in World War I, Carroll moved to Macon, Georgia where he continued to paint. He eventually resettled in New York and was a member of the Woodstock art colony before 1922. While living in New York Carroll designed stained-glass windows for Tiffany &Co. in New York City and also made picture frames for his artist friends. He received his first critical acclaim when he won an award for his art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts, Philadelphia. Carroll went on to teach at the Art Students League in New York and won an award for his art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts, Philadelphia. He became an instructor at the Art Students League in New York in 1926 and traveled to Europe the following year on a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 1930 he became head of the painting department at the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts. During this period Carroll developed a flair for a painting portraits, exaggerating the delicate qualities of his female subjects, which gave the women an otherworldly appearance. He returned to the Art Students League in New York in 1944 and continued to teach there and exhibit his art in New York. He maintained a studio in New York City but also spent great deal of time on his three hundred acre ranch in East Chatham, New York. Carroll died in Albany, New York in 1959.

Henry Koerner Pennsylvania / Germany, Austria, (1915 - 1991) child seated on sofa pen and ink on paper signed lower left. Laid on board. Biography from the Archives of askART: Painter Henry Koerner was born in Vienna in 1915 to Jewish parents and trained there as a graphic designer. He immigrated to the United States in 1938 after Hitler came to power. In New York, he won prizes in the National War Poster Competition. He enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving in the Office of Strategic Services in Washington and London. In 1943 he began to paint; in 1945 he was shipped to Germany to draw Nazi war criminals in the Nuremberg Trials. His work was given urgency in 1946 when, returning to Vienna, he learned that his parents (Leo and Fanny Koerner) and brother (Kurt) had died in extermination camps in Belorussia and Poland. In 1947, Henry Koerner had his first one-man show in Berlin, the first exhibition of an artist in post-war Germany. Dealing directly with the trauma of war and loss, his "magic realist" pictures caused a public sensation in the ruined capital. Returning to the U.S. later that year, he had acclaimed exhibitions in New York, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. His paintings were acquired by major museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, which holds three of his works. In 1953 he settled in Pittsburgh and until his death in 1991 divided his time between there and Vienna. Koerner painted (always from life) over 50 Time Magazine covers between 1955 and 1967, including covers of John. F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. He was honored, after his death in 1991, by retrospectives in the Austrian National Gallery and the Frick Art Museum in Pittsburgh. The Henry Koerner Center, serving emeritus faculty as a place to meet and work, opened at Yale University in January 2003. Located in the Pierpont House at Yale, it was made possible by a gift from Lisbet Rausing and Joseph Koerner '80, through the Fanny and Leo Koerner Charitable Trust. Joseph Koerner is Henry Koerner's son. Yale President Richard C. Levin described Henry Koerner as "a massively prolific artist who, distant from mainstream 20th-century art, produced an eccentric corpus unusual for its humor, formal beauty and spiritual purpose. A great portraitist of the experience of survival, Koerner is appropriately honored by the center."

Karl Knaths American, (1891 - 1971) 3 figural sketches graphite on paper Stamped with initials lower right and "Estate of Karl Knaths" verso. Biography from Spanierman Gallery: A painter recognized for his highly individual interpretation of Cubism, Karl Knaths was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, in 1891. He grew up in the Midwest, and in 1912, he moved to Chicago, where he studied at the School of the Art Institute for four years. In 1913, he saw the Chicago exhibition of the groundbreaking Armory Show and was immediately drawn to the modernist work from Paris, especially the art of Paul Cézanne. Massachusetts in 1919. His earliest work was inspired by the art of the Impressionists. However, after fraternizing with many of the local artists who had experienced the progressive art life of Paris, and by studying the examples of advanced European art in books and magazines, Knaths became deeply influenced by Cubism. By the late 1920s, he had evolved a very personal approach to this aesthetic, basing his abstract, but still recognizable compositions on seascapes and still life subjects. During the 1930s, Knaths developed a complex theoretical basis for his painting. He began to structure his pictures according to strict rules of composition and color, inspired by the ideas of such artists as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky. Using the classification system of colors developed by Wilhelm Ostwald, he would preselect the colors for his palette before starting to paint, for in Knath's view, color, like music, could be organized according to a system of notation. In this respect, each of Knath's canvases became a unique color composition, since the artist never used the same arrangement more than once. Throughout his career, Knaths drew his iconography from his Provincetown environment, depicting the local fisherfolk, docks, shanties, dunes, and moors, and the familiar objects in his house. As his commitment to Abstraction developed, he was invited to exhibit with the American Abstract Artists group in 1936. He was also active as a teacher and lecturer, giving annual courses at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. from 1937 until 1950, and was affiliated, at various times, with Black Mountain College and the Skohegan (Maine) School of Painting and Sculpture. Duncan Phillips, Knaths first and for many years his only patron, did much to establish the artist's reputation. Despite Knath's innovative attitudes, he did work in relative isolation for much of his career, making only the occasional visit to New York or Boston and never feeling the need to travel to Europe. Knaths died in Provincetown in 1971. Examples of his poetic, Cubist-inspired paintings can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, as well as at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and many more. In 1973, a major retrospective of his work was circulated to six American museums by the International Exhibitions Foundation.

Mae Alice Engron Indiana, (1933-2007) 2 seated female nude figures with moonlit sky 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 produced the No Date No Title catalog, the only catalog to date of Engron's work. Written and submitted by Jill Moniz, phd, curator of the artist's estate.

Albert Swayhoover Florida, (b. 1931) Osprey Point offset lithograph Gallery label verso. Biography from the Archives of askART: The following is from the artist: For 40 years, Albert Swayhoover has been creating paintings intended to capture the total experience of nature with a focus on achieving superb technique and unique textural imagery. Swayhoover is committed to using the painting knife. Forsaking the traditional brushes, and using only a series of knives, his goal is to breathe life into delicate beach grasses as well as fierce storm clouds. He also strives for beautifully structured composition with subtle shifts of color and modulating of impastos to create an immediate environmental experience on canvas. " I love the sounds and sights of boat yards, marsh grass blowing in the wind, old weathered buildings and rocky shores. All of these give me pleasure and inspiration for my work. My idea of a perfect afternoon is to sit on a dock sketching a harbor scene or to follow a stone wall and discover a wonderful old farm on a snowy hillside." Albert Swayhoover was born in New York City. He studied art at New York College at Farmingdale and at the School of Visual Arts, dividing his time between painting and a successful career in advertising. The demand for his canvases increased steadily and, in 1966, he left advertising to devote himself totally to painting. " I am a self taught painter. I did not want to be influenced by other artists. This I believe is the only way to achieve successes in the art world today. You must develop a distinct style and stick to it." He is the recipient of over 25 awards, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Award given by the Salmagundi Club. He has had over 40 successful one-man shows in leading galleries across America. Some of his works hang in important private collections as well as the corporate collections IBM, Chase Manhattan CBS and others.

Provenance: Altermann Galleries, NM Biography from the Archives of askART: A well-known illustrators in New York City and then a painter of Western subjects, Tom Lovell paid great attention to details in his work and, because of this, seldom completed more than a dozen major oil paintings a year. Lovell was born in New York City and attended high school in Nutley New Jersey. As valedictorian of his class, he spoke on the "Ill Treatment of the American Indian by the U.S. Government," a harbinger of his depictions of the West. In 1931, he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Syracuse University in New York. For thirty-nine years he was a freelance illustrator for many well-known magazines including Colliers, McCalls, and National Geographic. He was also known as a pulp illustrator, associated with "Dime Mystery" where his "ingenuity at picturing the bizarre instruments of torture dreamed up in the pulp writers' imaginations was nothing short of remarkable". (Haining 135). In 1975, he and his wife moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and that same year, he was elected to the Cowboy Artists of America. Many of his paintings focus on historical western subjects such as relations between white men and Indians and early expeditions.

He also did illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post, Newsweek, and Argosy. In the early 1970s, his work began attracting the attention of collectors. His first paintings were primarily Western subject matter, and from 1977 he has had nine one-man shows at the Hammer Gallery in New York City. In 1982, he had a commission from CBS to do a painting for the television mini series "Blue and Gray," and this activity directed his attention to the Civil War.

He has also completed an official U.S. postal stamp commemorating the Buffalo Soldiers during the Civil War.

Emanuel Mattini Iranian, (b. 1966) Melodium II mixed media print AKA Babak Emanuel? Pencil signed lower right, edition 20/175. Biography from Art Works Gallery BC: Babak Emanuel is an artist strongly influenced by music -- his works are melodies played in textured forms, brilliant in colour, exciting and fresh in design, a metamorphosis of the extension of music into art, of the human form transposed to music, music to art, art to human expression, human expression to the rhythm of life. The quieting play of sound, the expression of scale relating to the yin and yang of colour and motion, in his life a swell as his art. His sound of art is a freshness of style and approach - a blend of the modern with the antique reflecting an age of quality - quality of meaning, quality of image. These qualities were ingrained in Babak in his native Shiraz, Iran, the famed valley of poets and philosophers, where he was born in 1966. The teachings of these poets and philosophers were furthered at the Atlanta Institute of Art where he graduated in June of 1987 after extensive studies in painting and photography. This marriage of the discipline of photography with the controlled freedom of painting is evident in his use of perspective. Also an accomplished serigrapher, he applies these skills in his present painting style - a style which reflects his thoughts, soul and dreams is recognizable to the viewers as uniquely Babak. Babak's work appears in galleries and private collections throughout the world.
Lot: 294 - Alan Davie, Scottish (1920 - 2014), I, abstract composition, lithograph, 24 3/4"H x 35 1/4"H
Alan Davie Scottish, (1920 - 2014) I, abstract composition lithograph Pencil signed lower right, edition 60/75. Biography from the Archives of askART: Born in Scotland in 1920 Alan Davie studied at Edinburgh College of Art between 1937 and 1940. In 1942 he won the Guthrie Award for the best painting by a young artist at the Scottish Royal Academy summer exhibition. Davie went on to gain international recognition and today he is considered by many to be one of the most important British artists of the post-war era. His work can be seen in galleries and museums worldwide; in Britain these include the Tate and the Scottish National Museum of Modern Art. Davie is also an accomplished jewelry designer and jazz musician. Davie travelled widely and in Venice became influenced by other painters of the period, such as Paul Klee, Jackson Pollock and Joan Miró, as well as by a wide range of cultural symbols. In particular, his painting style owes much to his affinity with Zen. Having read Eugen Herrigel's book Zen in the Art of Archery (1953) he has assimilated the spontaneity which Zen emphasizes Declaring that the spiritual path is incompatible with planning ahead, he has attempted to paint as automatically as possible, which is intended to bring forth elements of his unconscious. Like Pollock, many of Davie's works have been executed by standing above the painting, which is laid on the ground. He adds layers of paint until sometimes the original painting has been covered over many times. However, despite the speed at which he works (he has usually had several paintings on the go at once), he is adamant that his images are not pure abstraction, but all have significance as symbols. As well as painting, whether on canvas or paper (he has stated that he prefers to work on paper), Davie has recently produced several screenprints. He found a public for his work on the continent and in America some time before the British art public could reconcile itself to his mixture of ancient and newly invented of symbols and his explosive brushwork. His paintings appear at once apocalyptic and triumphant. In his lectures Davie stressed the importance of improvisation as his chosen method. His stance was that of an inspired soothsayer resisting the inroads of rational civilization.

Biography from the Archives of askART: New-York born artist William Gropper was a painter and cartoonist who, with caricature style, focused on social concerns, and was actively engaged in support of the organized labor movement throughout his career. During the 1930s, working as a part of the Federal Arts Project, he produced some of the most gripping social protest works of the Great Depression. Subjects included industrial strikes and incidents of strike breaking, especially in the coal mining and steel-production centers. He did much illustration-cartoon work for the New York Tribune newspaper, Vanity Fair magazine and the politically 'left-wing' publication, "New Masses." Gropper's painting, Youngstown Strike, has received much attention for its strong, social-realist impact and was apparently prompted by the extended strikes staged in 1936-37 by workers at the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, Youngstown, Ohio. During these years chaos frequently reigned throughout much of the city. In one incident, following a savage confrontation with police guards by workers and their families, the police tear gassed and shot at the workers; two strikers were killed and twenty-eight injured. Gropper visited Youngstown during this period, and commented on the incident in an article and a series of descriptive action sketches published in The Nation. Some of his other pieces focused on the hypocrisy of government figures, especially members of the United States Senate. As a young man, William Gropper was a student of Robert Henri and George Bellows at the Ferrer School from 1912 to 1915. He did fine-art painting on the side until the early 1920s, and had his first solo exhibition in 1936. In 1938, he completed a mural for the Department of the Interior in Washington DC.

Biography from the Archives of askART: Born in Montenegro, Yugoslavia, Savo Radulovic settled in New York City where he became a painter in abstract style, graphic artist, and teacher. He was the owner and director of the Artists Little Gallery from 1946 into the 1970s. He studied at the Saint Louis School of Fine Arts, Washington University in St. Louis; the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University on a Carnegie Fellowship; and in Rome, Italy on a Fulbright Scholarship at the Academie Belle Arte, 1949 to 1950. He exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and in galleries in St. Louis Missouri, New York and Pennsylvania. He exhibited at the Midtown Gallery, St. Louis, December, 1939; the A.C.A. Gallery, New York, Sept/Oct. 1940, and the St. Louis Art Center, November of an unstated year. In addition to museum collections, his work is in the History Section of the War Department of the Pentagon in Washington DC and in the art collection of William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Virginia. Radulovic was very prominent in St. Louis in the 1930s, and is remembered for being the charismatic and enthusiastic leader of the avant-garde artists and creative people of the day, not least because he operated a place called "Little Bohemia" where artists hung out, drank coffee and beer, ate sandwiches, philosophized, and exhibited their work. He was first successful with batik work, but later settled more on painting. He left St. Louis in 1941 to join the Army, where he served as an official War Dept. artist. Savo Radulovic died in December of 1991. Sources include: Peter Falk, Who Was Who in American Art

Raphael Soyer New York / Russia, (1899-1987) Seated Woman, 1979 lithograph Pencil signed lower right, 66/275. Biography from the Archives of askART: Born in Borisoglebsk, Russia in 1899, Raphael Soyer is identified as a Social Realist* painter because of his interest in the common man, although he avoided subjects that were particularly critical of society. Soyer moved with his family to the Lower East Side of New York City in 1913, after they were deported from Russia by the Tsarist regime. His father, a Hebrew teacher and writer, encouraged artistic and intellectual pursuits. His popularity with his students in Russia and his liberal ideas led to problems for him with the authorities, and he was forced to leave with his family. Soyer left school at sixteen to help support the family. He attended free classes at Cooper Union* and at the National Academy of Design*. Guy Pene du Bois, a teacher at the Art Students League*, recognized his talent and introduced him to Charles Daniel, who gave him his first solo exhibition in 1929. The success of this event secured his position as a professional artist. The experience of immigrant life in the United States provided him with a rich source of imagery for his art, which was sensitive, penetrating portrayals including transients, shoppers, dancers, and fellow artists. Near his studio in Manhattan's Lower East Side he observed his fellow New Yorkers. His subjects were portrayed with strong, flat colors, which evoked a sense of isolation. Common themes were intimate studies of solitary women, often nudes, and portraits of fellow artists, reflecting his great affection and admiration for them. Soyer's most frequent model was himself, often posed with pencil or brush in hand, as in Self-Portrait ca. 1927, and his work was mainly in oil and lithography*. He did not accept commissions for portraits because his interest was with the private person and the effects of the modern world on the psyche, rather than a public facade. Artists he admired, such as Rembrandt, Degas, and Eakins, he felt were dedicated to showing their times truthfully, and emphasized inner character more than physical beauty. Both of Soyer's brothers, Moses and Isaac, were also artists. With his identical twin Moses, he painted murals for the post office in Kingessing, Pennsylvania. He also taught at the Art Students League. He was a co-founder of Reality magazine and champion of Realism* at a time when Abstract Expressionism* dominated the American art scene. The Depression's economic difficulties could be seen in his subjects, and unemployed men caught Soyer's eye. Women at work became a theme with Soyer after 1940. On November 4, 1987, he died in New York.

Biography from the Archives of askART: Born and raised in the south end of Boston, Jack Levine created social satirical pieces exposing the foibles and venals sins of mobsters and politicians, underworld characters whose actions are obviously insincere. He also satirized the middle class and created paintings of Biblical subjects. He enrolled in art classes at the Museum Fine Arts School of Boston and came under the influence of Dr. Denman Ross of Harvard University who, recognizing talent, gave him free art lessons. Levine was especially interested in the Old Masters at the Fogg Museum at Harvard. In 1935, he became a W.P.A. artist, using his experience growing up in a lower class neighborhood in his subject matter. He developed a modern Social Realism while borrowing from the techniques of Rembrandt and El Greco, something he calls "Old Master Pudding." He also learned methods from satirists Honore Daumier, Francisco Goya, and George Grosz. Levine's technique was to apply slashing strokes of color in thin layers of oil and then glaze, making his surfaces sparkle. His lampoons of rich people were especially suited to this method because their skin glitters and seems to corrode with light.

Levine was especially interested in the Old Masters at the Fogg Museum at Harvard. In 1935, he became a W.P.A. artist, using his experience growing up in a lower class neighborhood in his subject matter. He developed a modern Social Realism while borrowing from the techniques of Rembrandt and El Greco, something he calls "Old Master Pudding." He also learned methods from satirists Honore Daumier, Francisco Goya, and George Grosz. Levine's technique was to apply slashing strokes of color in thin layers of oil and then glaze, making his surfaces sparkle. His lampoons of rich people were especially suited to this method because their skin glitters and seems to corrode with light. Memberships include the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Pat now works exclusively in mixed media, her work being done on a gold leafed surface where she uses the leaf as a reflected light source.

Pat is a past president of the Midwest Watercolor Society, past director of Fine Arts for the Montana Institute of the Arts and a past director/owner of Beartooth Watercolor Workshops. "My work is about a journey, primarily abstract...it incorporates a love for color and experimentation with mixed media. I work on very large canvases that are gold, copper, and silver leafed using the leaf as a reflected light source for many intriguing acrylic glazes over each area...it's exciting and constantly changing with one's natural light source...the work is a process of layering, with multiple design elements incorporated into the paintings...It is truly a fusion of many layers of leafing, collage and acrylic glazes." Pat teaches, jurors, and lectures for groups across the country. She lives with her husband Stan and has studios in Wickenburg, Arizona and Lakeside, Montana. Pat is represented by several galleries located throughout the United States.
