W E L C O M E to THE PHILADELPHIA SHOW 2021
DEAR FRIENDS We are delighted to welcome you to The Philadelphia Show, presented during a year like no other in its history. Now in its 59th year, it is a venerable tradition. Offering an exceptional array of painting, sculpture, works on paper, furniture, jewelry, and the decorative arts, it is a high point of the year for those who love the arts and find the lure of collecting to be irresistible.

Presenting our 59 th A N N UA L S H O W CA S E of A N T I Q U E S , A R T and D E S I G N
If the pandemic has forced us to deal with some very challenging obstacles, it has also provided new opportunities. At least that is the way we looked at the suggestion to create a virtual version of The Philadelphia Show. Thanks to the ingenuity and perseverance of the museum’s staff and our wonderful partners, The Women’s Committee, as well as the commitment of the many dealers who participate in the show, we have turned the promise of something special into a reality and can say with confidence that you will enjoy this year’s virtual edition. To be sure, it is different, but it will be as engaging as it has been in the past; and it will keep us connected during a time when we have been forced to stay apart. To all those who have helped—the many members of The Philadelphia Show committee, The Women’s Committee and the staff of The Philadelphia Museum of Art especially Public Programs, Development and Membership—we owe a great debt of thanks. Of special note is the advice and encouragement given by Honorary Chair, Anne Hamilton, whose knowledge of all aspects of the show has been invaluable. That this virtual version of The Philadelphia Show has been organized so effectively is due in large measure to their hard work, dedication, and willingness to do things differently. Leadership matters as well, this year more than ever before. For this reason, we would like to single out for special mention the exemplary efforts made by our Manager of The Philadelphia Show, Huntley Platt, to bring us all together in support of this enterprise and make a success of it when the easiest (but not the best) choice would have been to wait another year. An important goal of The Philadelphia Show is to provide much needed financial support for a number of activities at the Philadelphia Museum of Art that help us fulfill our mission to bring the very best in the arts to a growing and increasingly diverse audience. Given the devastating impact that the pandemic has had on this institution during the past year, we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to utilize the proceeds generated by the show to sustain the museum’s education and community engagement activities during the ongoing pandemic. Accordingly, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for the remarkable generosity of our donors, individual as well as corporate, including the show’s Principal Sponsor, Justi Group, Inc. Other generous sponsors include American International Group, Inc., Cozen O’ Connor, Freedom Mortgage Corporation, Hub/Flather & Perkins, Inc., LAGOS and Morgan Lewis. We are pleased to present the 2021 Philadelphia Show and we hope you enjoy exploring the show.

Proceeds of The Philadelphia Show benefit the museum’s education and community engagement activities during the ongoing pandemic.
2021 LOAN EXHIBITION

A cast-iron fountain figure of a curly-haired cherub holding a fish, with leafy foliage at the cherub’s feet, marked “A. Durenne Sommevoire”, French, ca. 1870, on an associated cast-iron rockwork base, American, ca. 1900. Figure 41 ins. high, 16 ins. wide. Antoine Durenne founded the firm in 1847 and became a visionary in the field, as he sought new ways of expanding the cast-iron industry. A fountain figure with cherub and fish, identical to this one, can be seen at the Place de la Libération in Collobrieres, Provence, France.

Tiffany Studios Dragonfly Table Lamp American, circa 1906 20” diameter, 23 ½” high The dragonfly repeatedly served as a source of inspiration for Louis Comfort Tiffany and the artists at Tiffany Studios; the insect, with its finely detailed wings, appears in designs for jewelry, Favrile Glass mosaics, and, most famously, an iconic series of Tiffany Lamps. In this example of the design, orange dragonflies with filigree wings hover above dramatically mottled glass in shades of blue and golden yellow, interspersed with bright blue Tiffany glass “jewels.” With the sculptural Cattail and Pond Lily Base, this Dragonfly Lamp paints a picture of life at water’s edge.

After Fuechsel’s formal art studies at Dusseldorf Academy, he moved to New York City in 1858 to join his fellow students Bierstadt, Whittredge and Gifford. Fuechsel was known for his luminist landscape paintings, of the White Mountains, Lake George, Catskill and Adirondack regions as seen here in this finely executed work End of Day Sail.
2021 LOAN EXHIBITION All Creatures G R E AT and S M A L L
This year’s loan exhibition highlights The Philadelphia Show’s dealers, who will share their works of art that feature animals in all of their glorious varieties. Through a broad range of works spanning several centuries, “All Creatures Great and Small” will showcase the various and charming ways our fellow members of the animal kingdom have been depicted and honored. The loan exhibit is curated by Alexandra Kirtley, the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Montgomery-Garvan Curator of American Decorative Arts and longtime supporter of the show, Joan Johnson.
ALEXANDRE GALLERY Tom Uttech’s Nin Nomageb discloses the meditative stillness within the splendor of a remote mountain scene at sunset. A foreground of gnarled dead trees and lush moss-covered rocks is bathed in the cool light of evening, as a lone bear looks out over a pine-filled ravine. Beyond the pines a brilliant orange sunset reflects off of a distant still lake and cascading waterfall. As the night creeps in behind the tranquil bear, it sits entranced, like the viewer, by the final vibrant colors of day. This majestic landscape is based, like most of Uttech’s work, on his sittings throughout the wilderness of the Precambrian Shield—a stretch of remote land across the Northern United States and South-Eastern Canada. The titles of his paintings come from a 19th century lexicon of the Ojibwe language, an indigenous language of the Algonquin family, dialects of which are spoken by tribes throughout the region. Nin Nomageb translates to “I am sitting a certain length of time, pretty long.” As the title suggests, Nin Nomageb communicates Uttech’s skill for simulating the emotive experience of extended, silent contemplation in nature. The opulent colors and rich detail underscore the innate beauty of this landscape, invoking the mystical reality of an untouched natural environment.

ARADER GALLERIES These beautiful studies are a rare example of the work of Ernst Friedrich Carl Lang. Lang was the son of Kilian Lang, miniature painter, and harpist. He moved to Nuremberg in 1755 and was a pupil of the famed natural history painter Barbara Regina Dietzsch, who specialized in the depiction of flowers, birds, and insects. Dietzch’s influence can be seen in Lang’s delicacy of brushstrokes and the composition’s sophistication. The lack of background detail gives the work a simplicity that fully appreciates the bird’s plumage coloring. Moreover, the color of these enchanting birds’ feathers is echoed in the shade of the background. Examples of Lang’s work include a Goldfinch in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nürnberg, and a Rose in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

AVERY GALLERIES Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait became one of America’s finest animal painters, after immigrating to the United States from England in 1850. A skilled woodsman and hunter, Tait was a careful and realistic observer of wildlife and adhered strictly to the English aesthetician John Ruskin’s theory of “truth to nature” in art. Thus, it is not surprising that Tait’s animal paintings were hailed for their masterful realism. He deftly captured the personalities of the animals, while maintaining a high degree of realism and never venturing toward cartoon. In The Hound, Tait depicts a chained dog with such a plaintive expression that the viewer cannot fail to be moved by it. The late nineteenth century witnessed the emerging popularity of paintings devoted specifically to field and hunting dogs. This painting is accompanied by an original poem by C.D. Stewart, which reads as an ode to the faithful hound. Paintings and tales about hunting were extremely popular during the nineteenth century, and the rise of the publishing industry made them readily available to a growing middle-class audience. In 1852, the publishing company Currier & Ives began reproducing color lithographs of Tait’s paintings, which helped popularize them immensely.

DIANA H. BITTEL ANTIQUES This wonderful oil painting on a tin tray is one of five known with Adam off to the side in The Garden of Eden with an assortment of delightful animals, birds and the predictable snake coiled with forked tongue. They all portray a virtual “Peaceable Kingdom” where the lion and tiger, rhinoceros and elephant, giraffe and kangaroo, alligator and peacock, monkey and porcupine all peacefully coexist with lambs and dogs, turtles and deer, bats and zebras, horses and camels and more. There are no signatures on any of these trays. The designs on four of them are mostly similar with Adam standing at the right next to the coiled snake with a monkey on the branch above. In two of these four he is modest with a wreath of foliage encircling his waist, in the other two he is nude. They all have the appeal of an Edward Hicks but are more likely England’s answer to an early unknown nineteenth century artist. As a child, I was aware of another tray outside Philadelphia with Eve portrayed instead of Adam. If it is hidden away in some collection and no one is enamored of it, I would love to reunite it with Adam.

PHILIP BRADLEY ANTIQUES This set of four Pennsylvania German fraktur drawings features a variety of bird motifs—including distlefinks, a pelican in its piety (upper right), and even three tiny hummingbirds perched on the tips of the flowers (lower right). Pennsylvania German artists often included animal motifs in their work—parrots, unicorns, lions, and fish are all popular imagery along with the occasional camel or alligator. These bird drawings were likely made by a schoolmaster for his pupils as rewards of merit and are attributed to the so-called Rockhill Artist, who worked in north-central Bucks County, including Bedminster, Hilltown, and Rockhill townships. The drawings are inscribed on the back for siblings William, Lydia, and Henry Bartholomew of Bedminster Township.

MARCY BURNS AMERICAN INDIAN ARTS This Acoma polychrome jar is notable for its very unusual depiction of deer along with parrots in the body of the jar. Each figure is separated by a polychrome rainbow, one of which overlaps the other at the straight junctions. The style of the animals, especially the deer, the unusual treatment of the rainbow and the large size make this jar a fairly rare and unique example. Dating to the 1890s, it was found in an attic in Cheltenham, PA in whose home the pot had descended (owner found the pot in her attic after they purchased the house) and since then has been in my personal collection. Dwight Lanmon and Francis Harlow included it in their important study of Acoma pottery, The Pottery of Acoma Pueblo, Museum of New Mexico Press, 2013; pp. 304-305.

RALPH M. CHAIT GALLERIES Of realistic form, posed on a promontory with lotus flowers and stems and crested waves with leaping carp. Glazed in deep enamel and slight gold-wash. I have always been intrigued by this type of ewer. They were among the earliest objects traded from China to the West and are represented in important historic European Collections. There is a realism and whimsy these ewers that are amusing and intriguing. There is also so much to see- beyond the crayfish. For examples, there is a leaping carp among the waves that was symbolic of success and overcoming adversity. It is the sort of object, the more ones looks at, the more one discovers. Almost identical examples: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; Baur Collection, Geneva; and the historic court collections in Dresden and Sweden.

H L CHALFANT FINE ART AND ANTIQUES This wonderful small carved wooden horse was made around 1880 and possibly by Muller of Philadelphia, PA. It has the original paint and leather saddle. We even still have the original bit and leather reins. He is very bold and muscular. It sits on its original base and was never used as a carousel animal. It stands 41” tall and 49” in length. This was probably made for a lucky child as a present, back in the day! There are traces of green paint on the base to simulate green grass. We have had it in our private collection for years and we love to walk by, it makes one smile. It is very rare to see these Carousel type animals this size an especially in this condition. We would love to know if any of you have seen another. This was not this carver’s first rodeo! Hope you enjoy this great horse.

CHARLES CLARK The sinumbra lamp was an outgrowth of the development of the argand burner. In 1784, a Swiss inventor named Ami Argand invented a burner composed of a tubular wick secured between two metal tubes. The center tube was vented at the bottom allowing air to enter from the base. The burner was constructed to deliver air to the inside and the outside of the flame, resulting in a dramatic increase in the amount of illumination. The glass chimney would concentrate the movement of air around the wick. The flame from the argand burner would have been up to ten times brighter than candlelight. These lamps would have been as life changing in their day as the invention of the telephone or the personal computer might be today. This was the first time man had a source of artificial illumination beyond candles. The lamps could hold enough fuel to light a dinner party or should someone choose to work at night, there was now a somewhat reliable light source that enabled someone to choose what they did after the sun went down. The sinumbra lamp was refined around 1820. These lamps have a doughnut or ring shaped font with the argand burner located in the center of the ring.

THE COOLEY GALLERY Every new place I visit is an excuse to look at art, any art. It was exactly that, that I looked forward to as I watched the NOLS bus head towards the Alaskan wilderness with my third son. I had 8 hours before my flight home. Perfect. Anchorage is a compact town with wonderful shops and galleries. My eyes were opened to all kinds of indigenous art and I found several pieces but this piece remains my favorite. Chupak is actually not a native Alaskan but he is as devoted and passionate about his home and culture there as anyone. He was born in Cambodia and through a series of heart wrenching and heroic experiences was lucky enough to end up at a high school in Washington state. Before that he had taught himself to carve things from any material he could find when he was in a refugee camp in Thailand. He later moved to Alaska, a lifelong dream of his and established a successful career there. There is nothing more emblematic to me of Alaska than the great Grizzly bear. How many images have we all scene of these majestic animals grabbing fish out of the rivers? To have seen that in this segment of a walrus shoulder bone and created such a subtle yet utterly compelling form is magical.

DIXON-HALL FINE ART Born in Philadelphia, Joseph Biays Ord was son of George and Margarette Ord, his father being one of the city’s most prominent scientists of his day. It was clear by 1824 that the son would not follow in his father’s footsteps when he exhibited two still lifes at the Pennsylvania Academy in Philadelphia, both in the manner of Raphaelle Peale. Ord exhibited portraits, religious and genre scenes at the Academy from 1832-42, but by 1835 was working again in still life with the exhibition of three fruit pieces at the National Academy of Design in New York. From 1841-48 at the Apollo Association and from 1843-62 at the Pennsylvania Academy, Ord exhibited exclusively still lifes-some fifty in all. Ord is credited with being the sole still life artist of merit bridging the gap being the Peale Family and the flowering of Victorian still life at mid-century. He is praised for his use of cross lighting from left to right on a diagonal and for his compositions which are well balanced, yet informal. The inclusion of the cat in this tabletop composition makes this work particularly unique and lends an even deeper level of Realism as well as humor with the addition of the fly to the typically staid still life composition. Exhibited: Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, Hagerstown, MD, “Canine and Feline Fanciers Exhibition”, June 23-September 10, 2000

DOLAN/MAXWELL In 1968, St. Martin became a second home for Romare Bearden and his wife Nanette, who was native to the island. He insisted that the Caribbean was the source of much of his creation during this later stage of life. “Art will go where the energy is. I find a great deal of energy in the Caribbean...It’s like a volcano there; there’s something unfinished underneath that still smolders.” In Caribbean Song, we see elements of this creative, volcanic energy clearly illustrated in the use of fiery reds in the distant mountain tops of a tropical paradise. The paint handling is expressive rather than literal, and the collage elements (birds and the figure at water’s edge) create the scale of the scene. A luminous aqua blue at the foreground becomes an intimate lagoon in which a stork stalks its prey while a woman dips her toe in the calm, inviting water. The whole scene is pushed forward and compressed by the cool blue of the deep sea at the upper right. While viewing this watercolor/collage, one feels that everything is right in the world and “at last, my love has come along, my lonely days are over and life is like a song.”

GLEASON FINE ART For many years we represented the work of painter/sculptor William Muir and his wife Emily. We purchased this painting out of the estate. Jinx was a favorite cat of the Ames brothers of Stonington, Maine. The three bachelor brothers worked a saltwater farm that abutted the Muirs’ property and they were frequent visitors to each other’s homes. We had a much-loved cat at the time, who was also a mackerel tabby like Jinx, so we drawn to this domestic scene, as well as to the interesting downward perspective and the mismatched linoleum floor. This watercolor was exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum of art in 1933 and was pictured in black and white on the simple brochure of the exhibit.

GRATZ GALLERY AND CONSERVATION STUDIO Peter Miller, born Henrietta Myers in Hanover, PA, changed her name after marrying the love of her life, Earle Miller. She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and was greatly influenced by her private studies with Daniel Garber and Arthur Carles, as well as following the works of Miro and Klee. Her first show was at the Santa Fe Art Museum in 1937 and in 1944/45 Peter earned two solo shows at Julien Levy Gallery. Half the year was spent on her ranch in Espanola, near Santa Fe, NM. Miller was taken by the culture and art of the Tewa Indians of the San IIdefonso Pueblo. Her early New Mexico paintings incorporated primitive images and icons from the petroglyphs found carved in the Bandelier and Frijoles Canyons. Nature and magic dominated her passion for painting. “Tortoises” demonstrates Peter’s unique painting techniques and love of nature. The turtle was Peter’s totem and is a recurring theme throughout her work. This painting was created using textured gesso as a base, which resembles the canyon walls. Her painting method involved highly complicated layers and glazes of different colors, incorporating several different images into one. Her bond to New Mexico was strong and she was the goddaughter of Edith Warner, infamous for “The House at Otowi Bridge”.

HAWTHORNE FINE ART A charming scene and notably early example possibly depicting the artist’s wife by their summer home Cragsmoor, NY accompanied by her loyal horse and terrier at foot. E.L. Henry was an early founder of the Cragsmoor Artist Colony. American genre painter E. L. Henry was born in Charleston, South Carolina, but raised in New York City from the age of seven. He began studying art in his early teens under Walter Mason Oddie (1808—1865), the New York-based landscape painter. In 1858, he enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, and in 1860 continued his studies in Paris at the Académie des Beaux-Arts. His teachers at the Académie were two of Switzerland’s most celebrated history painters, Joseph Nicolas Robert-Fleury (1797—1890) and Marc-Gabriel-Charles Gleyre (1808—1874), whose rigorous, academic style had a lasting impact on Henry. While in Paris, Henry also studied at the atelier of Jean Joseph Benjamin-Constant (1845—1902). After the Civil war, he moved into the famed Tenth Street Studio Building in Greenwich Village, working alongside Winslow Homer (1836—1910), Albert Bierstadt (1830—1902), and Frederic Church (1826—1900). He began producing paintings from his wartime sketches, most notably, two depictions of Union soldiers infiltrating the Westover Plantation in Virginia, now in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., and the Century Association, New York.

STEPHEN AND CAROL HUBER The purse is inscribed with the initials W.P. above the great navigator Admiral William Penn standing beside a globe. Admiral William Penn’s purse is probably part of the suit of finery he ordered in May of 1660 in preparation for King Charles II’s return to England. When King Charles II boarded Penn’s ship he stated that Admiral Penn was “resplendent” in all his finery. Sir Admiral William Penn was born in 1621 and started his life-long seafaring career as a young boy on merchant ships. Penn joined the Royal Navy, and rose to the rank of rear admiral by 1645. Admiral Penn was a career navy man and was promoted several times over the next two decades. Admiral Penn’s efforts were well regarded by both Oliver Cromwell and King Charles II. At that time of Penn’s death in1670, King Charles II owed Sir Admiral William Penn roughly £16,000 for services rendered. In 1681 William Penn’s son, the Quaker, asked King Charles II to settle the debt to his father. The King, pleased to get rid of the trouble maker, granted him the colony known as Sylvania as repayment, but the King renamed it stating “I’m naming it Pennsylvania after that jolly fellow, your father.” So in fact, Pennsylvania was named after the owner of this purse, Sir Admiral William Penn, and not his Quaker son William Penn who came to the colonies.

HYDE PARK ANTIQUES Undoubtably inspired by the magnificent sculptures of the Vatican’s Sala degli Animali, Taureau-Romain by Jean-Baptiste Clésinger stands handsomely stalwart, his minatory gaze seemingly suspect of his viewer. And judging by the rubbed patina of his horns, this bull’s suspicion is not unwarranted. Afterall, who wouldn’t dare to touch this Taureau’s spikes if it might grant some measure of good luck? Jean-Baptiste called Auguste CLÉSINGER began his studies with his father, the sculptor Georges-Philippe Clésinger. He continued his training in Rome in the studios of the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorwaldsen and the architect Salvi and later in Paris. He first exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1843, and garnered his first gold medal at the 1848 salon. One year later, he was inducted into the Légion of Honor and later raised to officier in 1864. The marble of Taureau-Romain was executed in 1858 and exhibited in Paris at the Salon of 1859 and met with great critical and popular success. Baudelaire reviewed that the “Taureau-Romain has received “well-deserved praise from everybody; it is really a very fine work”. Napoleon III procured a version for the Tuileries Palace.

BARBARA ISRAEL GARDEN ANTIQUES This group of sheep, sculpted by the English artist and farmer Royston Clapp (1929-2009), is currently making its way to the States along with 11 other animal statues, all by Mr. Clapp. In 2011 I had bought four sheep sculptures from the Clapp estate at an auction gallery in the north of England that also sold tractors and livestock. When Mr. Clapp’s wife Jillian died this past December their son remembered her having enjoyed a correspondence with me about how much I had liked her husband’s work and he contacted me to buy the rest from her estate. Educated at the Bristol School of Art in South Gloucestershire, Mr. Clapp found his greatest inspiration from the animals at his farm, often recreating them in the fine, hard stone known as Hopton Wood limestone that is quarried nearby in Derbyshire. I’m looking forward to meeting these three in person!

CHRISTOPHER H. JONES Walter Anderson left Ocean Springs to study at the Parsons Institute in New York and graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy in 1929. During the 1930’s he worked on several WPA projects and murals for the Ocean Springs school and community center. During this time, he began exhibiting symptoms of mental stress that would be a part of his artistic vision for the rest of his life. He was hospitalized after an attempted suicide and spent the next three years in and out of institutions. Eventually, Walter felt compelled to live alone and around 1947 he set up house in a cottage in Ocean Springs. For the next 18 years he made frequent and extended trips to Horn Island, part of the barrier reef along the Gulf Coast, rowing the 12 miles of ocean to reach the island. Once there, he would set up camp for several weeks drawing and painting the island’s animals, birds, reptiles and insects. This was an intensely personal experience in which he explored his vision of reality. When Anderson died in 1965 his wife opened a padlocked room in his cottage. On the four walls were a remarkable mural of the Gulf Coast’s natural world - wild persimmons, possums, sea birds and insects at sunrise, sunset and in the starry night. His cottage is now a museum in Ocean Springs. Cat Study, ca. 1955 Walter Inglis Anderson 1903-1965 Ink on paper, 11 x 8 1/2 inches Signed WA
KELLY KINZLE ANTIQUES This painting keeps coming back to me like a literal lost dog. I admire Ruth so much that I have owned her three times. To me, Ruth is painted not as a working dog, but as a beloved family pet. The artist, Robert Moore has captured her kind spirit and friendly expression, memorializing her name on a twig in the foreground. The portrait was painted at a time when Kentuckians were celebrating their agrarian pursuits and capturing prize livestock on canvas served as a primary landscape tradition in Kentucky before the Civil War. The style was vernacular and a bit folksy. Robert Moore fits into this tradition as an itinerant artist who is known to have received other animal and portrait commissions in Kentucky. His naïve style appeals to me and is highly sought after by collectors. The painting survives in such remarkable condition that clearly earlier owners have prized Portrait of the Sporting Dog, Ruth as much as I have.

BETTY KRULIK FINE ART William Zorach was born in Lithuania in 1877, his family settled in Ohio in 1891, where at age 13 he apprenticed to a lithographer. In 1910 he went to study in Paris, where he was witness to the birth of modernism. At first a painter, Zorach turned to sculpture in the 1920s. His work was primarily direct carving in stone and wood, under the influenced of primitivism. Later in life he began casting in bronze. Singing Bird, from 1946, is a diversion from his cubist style. The sleek, smooth lines are typical of these animal sculptures of the 1940s, as is the humor with which he imbues his subjects. Singing Bird is the third in an edition of 6 and was acquired by the owner directly from the Zorach family.

WILLIAM R. & TERESA F. KURAU Original Noah’s Ark lithograph created circa 1845 by Nathaniel Currier’s printing firm located in New York City. At this moment in U.S. history, the Industrial Revolution was winding down and had many citizens on edge. They were accustomed to a certain way of life and everything around them was changing. Large farms were no longer able to sustain everyone in the family which led to individuals leaving home and looking for work elsewhere. This feeling of change and unrest left families looking for ways to ease their minds. Many turned to religion. Religious paintings and pictures were being hung in homes nationwide so all could be reminded of the consistency of God. Noah’s Ark has fun content full of animals and portraying life going on and surviving with the help of God and that the circle of life continues. The birds flocking to the ark from above fly in a semicircle and the animals on land also arriving in a semi-circle further drives that circle of life feeling home. This lithograph also has the animals paired off arriving to safety in a wonderful, hand colored, entertaining image. Noah’s Ark, ca. 1845 N. Currier Lithograph, 12 x 16 inches

POLLY LATHAM ASIAN ART This pair of mirror image Chinese export porcelain recumbent elephants are modeled as joss stick holders which in Chinese homes and temples held burning sticks of incense. Here, though, we have the mighty beasts in rather submissive poses repurposed as candle holders for the export trade to the West. In China the elephant is a symbol of good luck and happiness, and in Feng Shui they can also represent either good luck, wisdom, protection, or fertility depending upon the position they are depicted in and where they’re placed in the home. A pair similar to these is illustrated and discussed in Willaim Sargent’s book on The Copeland Collection which is one of the great collections of Chinese export figures now housed with the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem. Chinese export porcelain figures were, from the beginning of the China Trade, one of the rarest and most expensive items to acquire; their production costs were higher than most dinner and teawares and it was difficult to efficiently and safely pack and ship them, hence their rarity in comparison to the amount of other porcelain wares available.

NATHAN LIVERANT AND SON Whimsical, sculptural and historic, this Right Whale relief wall plaque combines a delightful assortment of influences. It was created by Clark Voorhees II (1911-1980) of Old Lyme, Connecticut and Weston, Vermont, an early proponent of American Folk Art. The son of an American Impressionist painter of the Old Lyme School, Voorhees grew up on the Connecticut shore surrounded by art, artists and the ocean. Voorhees carved his first whale while stationed in Hawaii during World War II. Eventually he would develop a series of seven uniquely carved whales. All of the whales Voorhees chose to fashion were important to the 19th century whaling industry. The Right Whale illustrated here was one of the most sought-after species of the period. It was designated as the “right whale” to hunt by the whalers, anxious to capitalize on its many positive attributes. It was slow moving, covered with a thick layer of blubber under the skin and a mouth full of useful baleen. However, one of the most desirable features for the whalers was that the Right Whale floated after it was killed, making it easy to handle and process. Featuring distinct character and a lively sense of humor, Voorhees whales remain popular today and enliven any household.

LOST CITY ARTS Bo Kristiansen was a Danish ceramicist educated at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. Kristiansen founded his own workshops in 1968 and 1979. His work features brightly colored slab built geometric forms such as boxes, panels, and vases delicately inscribed with lettering. The lettering is attributed to fragments of poems and song lyrics by Bob Dylan and Gustaf Munch-Petersen. His work is in the collections of numerous museums such as the National Museum of Sweden and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in the Netherlands. This piece was selected for this exhibition because of the nature of it’s scripture. Taken from numerous poems and songs, this work is about the eternal connectedness of humanity and the natural world. The panel is a quintessential representation of Kristiansen’s esteemed career as an artist.

MODERNE GALLERY One of the Claremont Museum of Art’s most prolific sculptors, Betty Davenport Ford, a Cranbrook MFA, is well known for her unique style and honest craftsmanship. Working in clay and bronze for over sixty years, she simplified forms to abstract the natural essence of the wild creatures she depicts. Animals, both real and fantastic, occupied an important place in artistic expression in mid-twentieth-century Claremont, appearing in the work of ceramists, painters, enamellists, and sculptors. Primal Nature: Animalia by Women in Post-War Claremont, curated by Susan M. Anderson, focused on this phenomenon, particularly in the work of women artists like Betty Davenport Ford, who played a vital role in the development of the arts in Claremont. Ford aimed to belie the capture of the animal’s essential spirit with sound design. Ford earned several awards including the American Institute of Architects Award (1955), the Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year Award (1956), the National Society of Art Designers Award for Excellence (1968) and many more.

LILLIAN NASSAU The regal cat seen here is Tookey, who was the family cat of American artists William and Marguerite Zorach. William Zorach made a great number of drawings of Tookey, many of which can be seen in the holdings of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, including a 1924-25 sketch which may have been a study for this piece. He also carved sculptures of cats in various materials and poses, including plaster, stone and wood, over the span of his career. This example, likely one of Zorach’s first major sculptures of this particular animal, was exhibited in 1928 at the Art Institute of Chicago’s Forty-First Annual Exhibition. It was also exhibited in 1929 in the exhibition Contemporary American Sculpture at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor and is illustrated in the catalog. A version of this sculpture in granite was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1937, while a similar example in cast plaster was donated to the Smithsonian along with Zorach’s archives by his son Tessim in 1968.

OLDE HOPE ANTIQUES We first caught sight of this bird tree in a late 1980’s. We were familiar with several of the carver’s birds and one eagle pictured in Robert Bishop’s book, American Folk Sculpture, 1974, p. 173 where he was identified as “Bernier, the Lumberman”. In the summer of 2010, The Magazine Antiques published newly discovered information about Bernier in an article New Light, “Bernier the Lumberman”: The mystery carver of Biddeford, Maine, identified, co-authored by Leslie Rounds, executive director and Jessica Skwire Routhier, museum director, of the Dyer Library/Saco Museum in Saco, Maine. In 2009, the Saco Museum in Maine placed a query in the local newspaper in search of the mysterious lumberman to which family descendants promptly responded. Bernier the Lumberman was identified as Joseph Romuald Bernier born in April 1873 near Quebec City, Canada who emigrated to Biddeford, Maine in 1886. According to the family and backed by census records from 1921 and 1923, Bernier was paralyzed by a falling tree breaking his back. At that time he began carving to support his family. The family recalled he used a pocketknife.

While the American textiles from which this piece was inspired date largely to the late 19th and turn of the century, the eagle depicted here almost seems to anticipate the Art Deco style of the 1920s. Such small knotted pile mats were woven in several Persian weaving centers for what was at the time a new orientation towards the emerging American market. This is a stellar example of the type.

THE PHILADELPHIA PRINT SHOP WEST A superb print of a Grizzly Bear from Audubon’s magnificent Quadrupeds of North America. This work was conceived as a complete depiction of the quadrupeds of the continent and this monumental project would consume the last twelve years of Audubon’s life. With the help of his sons John Woodhouse and Victor, Audubon was finally able to start issuing the prints by subscription beginning in 1842, with the first volume of 50 plates published in 1845. The entire work comprises 150 prints in the imperial folio size, each lithographed and hand-colored with such precision and care as to give the fur on the animals a superbly realistic appearance. As the first work on American quadrupeds of this scope and quality, Audubon’s second great work is a landmark of American natural science. Overshadowed by the Birds of America, the prints from Audubon’s Quadrupeds of North America are considered by some to be even finer and more accurate than the bird prints; they surely are prints of the highest quality and beauty.

Henry Farny was born in France but immigrated as a child to Western Pennsylvania, eventually settling with his family in Cincinnati. He began his career as an illustrator and found success and notoriety with Harper’s Weekly. Farny took several trips to Europe to study painting, under Hermann Herzog in Düsseldorf, and in Munich amongst Cincinnati friends Frank Duveneck and John Henry Twachman. Beginning in 1880, Farny began devoting most of his time to painting, and in 1881 took his first trip West where he was deeply inspired by the American Indians he encountered. His paintings were exhibited widely during his lifetime and the Cincinnati Art Museum held a retrospective of his work in 1965.

From that residency, von Zwehl created photographic portrait miniatures. Von Zwehl, who is London based, was commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery, London to photograph the British athletes in the London Olympics. In 2018, she became the first artist in residence for the New-York Historical Society; her resulting exhibition, Meditations in an Emergency, was inspired by the Parkland shootings of that year. Von Zwehl’s most recent exhibition was Wunderkummer in Innsbruck, Austria. Among the museum collections which hold von Zwehl’s unique works are The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C, The National Portrait Gallery, London, The Guggenheim, New York, The San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art and the Victoria & Albert Museum.

SILVER ART BY D & R This Antique Silver Tongs has a beautiful ‘Repoussé’ detailing with an incredible Chimera Head decorating its center. The gorgeous cutaway work shows in great details wreaths of wild plants and flowers. The chimera was one of the most terrifying creatures in Greek mythology. Although different versions of the creature exist depending on the source, there are characteristics that are always the same. The Chimera is usually defined as “a fire-breathing female monster with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail.” The term “chimera” is now used generally to denote a fantastic idea or figment of the imagination. But the chimera is one of those creatures that continues to fascinated storytellers. It seems that different tales have their own versions and they make their way into modern fiction, animated series, and even movies. Originally in Greek Mythology the Chimera was a fire breathing female monster; She devastated Caria and Lycia until she was slain by Bellephoron! This is definitely one of the most gorgeous designs done by Alphonse Debain. This model called a Main ‘Pince’ or Silver Asparagus Tongs was created by Maître Orfèvre Alphonse DEBAIN in Paris and discussed in the official publications of the Exposition Universelle De Paris in 1889. Alphonse DEBAIN excelled in using natural forms inspired by nature. They were particularly appreciated by the judges during the Universal Exhibitions.

SOMERVILLE MANNING GALLERY Saunders is committed to only working from life and spending her days with animals, observing their habits, learning their language, and studying their form, all in an attempt to convey with great passion their grace and spirit. Saunders and her husband live on a farm in Pennsylvania surrounded by horses, dogs, cats, a herd of deer and a muster of peacocks. The peacocks are comical, elegant, vicious and beautiful. Saunders had just started working on her life size peacock when her model, Nureyev, had an encounter with a raccoon in a tree and ended up with a broken leg. It was an amazing experience for Saunders to have Nureyev in the studio with her for three months while he recovered. She would keep her studio door open and his brother and sister would come visit. Working from life in the studio was brilliant, and after Nureyev healed, he took up chasing cars! Saunders’ talent with rendering the animal form has led her to considerable success. During the fall of 2012, the National Sculpture Society selected one of her pieces, a life-sized representation of a peacock entitled Nureyev, for its 79th Annual Awards Exhibition. This notable juried show presented the works of 45 artists at the Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina. Saunders is also an active member of the Society of Animal Artists, a group that recognizes superior ability to depict wildlife.

SUSAN TELLER GALLERY Of course, everyone knows that cats are the most wonderful of animals and that black cats are the best. And American Domestic Shorthairs (read ‘Alley Cats’) are the best of those. Living with two fine examples of this breed was a privilege. Long’s linocut, Pair of Cats, 1932, shows his understanding of their personalities as well as their physical attributes. Frank W. Long (also known at Frank Weathers Long) was born in Tennessee and worked for many years in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He contributed to New Deal programs; there is a mural in the Berea, Kentucky, Post Office. Two paintings from this period are in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. A painter, muralist, printmaker, and jewelry maker, he was also an archivist of Native American artifacts. He wrote the manual, Lapidary Carving, Designs and Techniques, in 1982. It makes sense that the early skill used in linocuts could have developed into the carving of stone. He died in Mississippi. His prints are extremely scarce.

JAYNE THOMPSON ANTIQUES For inclusion in this year’s loan exhibit, we’ve chosen an English 18th Century drop leaf table in walnut. The table’s defining characteristic is the horse hoof foot at the end of each leg. This table serves as a fitting illustration of the historical ties between the cabriole leg and its counterparts in the animal kingdom. Whether or not the cabriole leg was inspired by the leg of hoofed mammals (such as deer or horses) or the similarity was noted after the fact, it is clear that the two have been linked for centuries. If we trace the word “cabriole” back to its Latin origins, the definition of its root was “a leap like that of a kid goat.” In later Italian and French forms, it loses the explicit animal association and comes to mean “a caper, frisk, leap,” thus its use as a ballet term. So, the hoof feet seen here are more faithful to the ancestry of the cabriole leg than the more common hairy paw which mimic’s a lion’s foot or the ball and claw intended to simulate an eagle’s talons (or a dragon’s claw depending on how far back you trace it). The hoof foot of this table is particularly well-defined with the fetlock at the back and fine hairs carved into the coronet just above the hoof. Taken as a whole, the leg’s shape clearly evokes the shape of horse’s leg and complements the curves of the oval-shape top as well as those in the top’s cyma reversa molded edge.
Drop-Leaf Table with Hoof Feet, ca. 1745 30 x 72 x 60 inches
JEFFREY TILLOU ANTIQUES This early hand-made rooster weathervane pre-dates the manufactured examples we normally see and can be considered folk art. These examples of folk art weathervanes, hand crafted and modeled, are usually somewhat unique, although over a period time one can find similarities within regions. This is primarily due to the influences of European roots and the geographical locations they settled in. The riveted re-enforced pieces on the tail appear to be original. It is in great condition with an exceptional oxidized surface.
A Rare Early Rooster Weathervane, Ca. 1860 Molded sheet copper and iron, contemporary wooden base, 28 ¼ x 21 x 4 ¼ inches

THE TOLMAN COLLECTION Moontrance, a lithograph on handmade Mexican paper, was created in 2000 by American artist Sarah BRAYER ( b.1957) from Rochester, New York who has made Kyoto, Japan her home since 1980. The image is based on Korean artist Byeong Sangyeok’s (active mid-18th century) painting of Myojakdo (Cats and Sparrows). Sarah removed the sparrows and added a glowing moon to heighten the tension between the two cats, locked in a staring contest. Each one appears to be convinced that IT is the victor. Sarah Brayer was awarded a Certificate of Excellence in Papermaking by the Japanese government, a rare honor for a foreign-born artist.
