Floral Still Life 1 |

This tile was featured in our weekly email on 9/1/17 along with the following gallery comments:
We bought these two tiles with some other Richmond pieces and at the time, I had no idea who Bess Whitridge was. Shaun Dengworth of the Richmond Art Museum was kind enough to give me a brief 411 on her and the kooky ceramic painting movement that seemed to be taking the art world by storm for a second, around the turn of the century. These pieces, 6” painted tiles, are very typical of Whitridge’s output. |

Harry Townsend was a part-time Richmond, IN artist, studying under George Herbert Baker and Randolph Coats. He was a frequent exhibitor in Indiana shows and fairly prolific inasmuch as painting was not his full time pursuit. Today's painting, Campfire Along the Creek (our title), is a wonderfully loose example of his work -- almost to the point of abstract. It doesn't necessarily show in the above image but it's also heavy with texture and impasto. The painting has been cleaned and is in excellent condition. |

Shepard's Farm |

This work was featured in our 2nd Annual Curated Sale of Historic Indiana Art, April 8th, 2018 at the Indianapolis Art Center.
This painting was featured in our weekly email on 9/15/17 along with the following gallery comments:
In my book, Jan Zwara is one of the most compelling figures in Indiana art. He was an émigré from Hungary, doing some set/scenery painting in Paris along the way. Once in the States, he ultimately wound up in Indianapolis and had patrons in the Lieber and Vonnegut families, among others. He was an untreated schizophrenic (as there wasn’t much in the way of treatment back then). He spent six months at Central State Hospital. Zwara painted to live and lived to paint – vastly prolific and a lot of his output was gouache. Today’s painting, Shepard’s Farm (kinda our title, see below) is one of his many Brown County works. How Zwara even traveled to Brown County is a mystery to me – apparently he took the train to Bloomington and then to Helmsburg where he got a ride. This is a sight he painted more than once and some years ago I owned an oil of the same farmstead with some annotation. And that note by Zwara indicated the farmstead was ‘Shepard’s Farm’. I love that fence row! A very nice Zwara example and of iconic Brown County, no less. |

New York Nocturne |

-
This painting was featured in our weekly email on 7/28/17 along with the following gallery comments:
Though known for traveling the Western world, Glenn Cooper Henshaw spent most of his non-traveling career in New York where he long-maintained a studio. And in my estimation, his New York cityscapes (particularly the nocturnals) are his most compelling works. Today's piece, New York Nocturne (our title) is an excellent example of just that -- a vertical pastel looking down the throat of Madison Ave. with the lights, figures and features all brought together in a chorus of shape and swirl. Find me those drugs! |
