Chuck Ren 1941-1995

Signed and dated 89 lower right

Estimate: $6,000 - 8,000

Provenance:

Art World Western Heritage Gallery, El Cajon, CA, December 1989

Growing up in an Arizona desert known for its unbearable summers, Chuck Ren spent so much time indoors that he started taking up drawing, a way to pass the time that soon developed into a full-blown talent. He sent away for an art correspondence course, but was too young to participate. After college in Northern Arizona, Ren became a freelance illustrator with clients that included movie studios, record companies and the National Football League, for which he completed more than 200 sports images. By 1982, he had made a full switch to the American West, a genre where he excelled with realistic images of Native Americans, cowboys on horseback and mountain men.

13 ½ x 22 inches

Signed/NAWA and dated 1980 lower right

Estimate: $1,500 - 2,500

Morris Rippel worked in both oil and watercolor, but it was his watercolor that was so beloved by collectors and fans of his work. With a light touch and delicate brushstrokes, Rippel was able to connect to places and people of the West with lifelike color, fine detail and timeless subjects. A lifelong resident of New Mexico, he attended the University of New Mexico for two years before serving in the Koran War. His initial plan after the war was to become an architect, but soon a casual hobby of watercolor painting took over completely. Influenced by Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper, Rippel was awarded one of the first Museum Purchase Awards at the Prix de West show at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. He was also a licensed pilot.

Troy’s Cowboy Art Gallery, Scottsdale, AZ

Literature:

Western Horseman, June 1977: cover.

The son of two artists, Harvey Johnson did not have to be convinced to become a painter—he was naturally pulled toward it. He studied at the Art Students League in New York City and then, like many artists of the 1950s and 1960s, he worked as an illustrator for popular pulp magazines, often doing images with frontier themes. A 1966 issue of Western Horseman magazine reported that a new art organization had been started—the Cowboy Artists of America. Johnson contacted Johnny Hampton about joining and was accepted immediately. He was the first artist to apply for membership. The painter went full circle in June 1977, when Tonight We Howl was featured on the cover of Western Horseman magazine.

Children and Native American subjects intersect with Glenna Goodacre’s Pawna, a bronze first created in 1983. The artist, known for creating the Vietnam Women’s Memorial and the bas relief of Sacagawea on the golden dollar coin, explained the work in her book, Glenna Goodacre: The First 25 Years: “Pawna was a Sioux Indian friend about 3 years old. Even though he wore jeans and T-shirts and lived in a modern house in Boulder, I thought of how he would have been in the 19th century. He is wearing leather leggings and a breechcloth, busy at play in his plains village, feeding a cherry to his pet raccoon.”

Howard Rogers grew up in sunny San Diego, California, far removed from the cowboy culture that would eventually play such a large role in his art career. After a stint in the Army, Rogers worked in the sign department of a grocery store. Early in his life, he was also a champion bicyclist and tried out for the Olympic team three times. After a racing accident ended his cycling career, he enrolled in the Art Center College of Design in California. After many years in illustration—one of his most recognizable pieces was the poster for the James Bond film Diamonds are Forever—Rogers started pursuing fine art, including his Western images, but also florals, sculpture and, something quite rare in the Western world, female nudes.

Literature:

The Art of Ray Swanson: Celebrating People and Lifestyles, Tom O’Keefe, Old Paint Publishing Company, Carefree, AZ, 1994: p. 92-93.

While many of his contemporaries were examining Native Americans from the 19th century, painter Ray Swanson was more interested in present-day cultures, particularly the Navajo people of Northern Arizona. A stunning example of this contemporary vision of Southwest life can be seen in Waiting for Mutton Stew. “This cooking scene is a common sight at campsites or anytime during the summer months when it is too hot to cook in the hogan,” Swansons writes in The Art of Ray Swanson: Celebrating People and Lifestyles. “The men and women complete the various preparations for the day’s meal. Strips of mutton, meat from an adult sheep, hang to dry like clothes on a line. Mutton is tougher than lamb, but it can be very tasty when cooked with vegetables in a stew pot. Some sheep ribs are also cooked over a wood fire, while dough is prepared for fry bread. Whenever I smell burning juniper wood, it reminds me of a Navajo campsite.”

George Phippen was not only one of the founding four artists of the Cowboy Artists of America, but he was also the group’s first president. The CA is one of his great legacies, but so is his involvement in the arts in his hometown of Prescott, Arizona, where his bronze work can be seen in many locations and his influence on the world of bronze art can still be felt. It was Phippen and two Joes—Joe Noggle and Joe Vest—who started the first art bronze foundry in Prescott, which eventually spawned dozens of other foundries and inspired hundreds of artists to take up sculpture throughout Arizona and the Southwest. Sadly, Phippen died in 1966, the year after the formation of the CAA, and did not see his ultimate influence on Western art, an influence that is still happening today.

Coming from the pulp magazine and “Dime Mystery” era of illustration, New York City painter Tom Lovell was adept at working fast and using many preliminary sketches to help develop his paintings. Even later, after his pulp beginnings— when he graduated to Collier’s, McCall’s and National Geographic—Lovell had to be able to turn around artwork on tight deadlines. It was a skill he carried with him after he switched over to fine art in 1975 when he moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico. These oil studies offer a peek into Lovell’s methods, particularly how he began to refine the general composition and lock in the forms at a very early stage of an artwork. By the time he moved to a larger canvas, the general look was already established so he could focus on other things, such as light, detail and storytelling.

The origins of the phrase “predicament painting” are murky, though it surely owes its popularity in Western art to Charles M. Russell’s A Serious Predicament, showing a momma cow turning the tables on a horse and rider. The phrase fits perfectly over Tom Ryan’s No Contest (Trouble at the Creek), which cascades with bad news at every corner: the broken wagon, the fleeing team of horses, the spilled dry goods and the figure dangling on the dead tree. The culprit and catalyst to this dilemma, a massive buffalo, looms large in the picture and he seems unlikely to relent. The predicament continues.

After J.C. Leyendecker, Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth lit up the Golden Age of Illustration, a younger generation of artists was coming up that would provide a second great age of illustration in New York City in the 1950s and 1960s. Artists in the group included Kenneth Riley, James Bama, John Clymer and Howard Terpning. And smack in the middle was Tom Lovell, who was born in New York City and raised in its streets. In 1975, after nearly 40 years in illustration, he moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he painted powerful images of pioneers, cowboys, Native Americans and other Western subjects. Through much of his work was a deep and abiding principle of respect for the West’s history and people.

Although his portraits of Native Americans—young faces with flawless skin, and old faces with deep canyons of wrinkles—are quite popular among collectors, R. Brownell McGrew’s elaborately composed group scenes are equally impressive, and also quite rare. He staged his subjects, often Navajo figures, with intricate placement, almost like human still life, tableaus of the desert’s first and final inhabitants. One must leave Western art entirely to find an artist who made comparable work: French painter Georges Seurat, whose iconic A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte fills the scene with carefully arranged figures in an outdoor setting. Seurat was famously working in pointillism and impressionism, and McGrew worked in a stylized Western realism with hints of impressionism, but the compositional intricacy among many figures can be seen in both artists’ works. This painting, which has had only one owner, also adds another prominent feature in McGrew’s work—children, which the artist painted in hundreds of images. A former illustrator who worked in Hollywood for a brief period, McGrew wanted his work to have a wet look, which he achieved by mixing oil paint with linseed oil and turpentine.

Native American culture entered Joe Beeler’s life as early as 4 or 5 years old when his parents took him to a Fourth of July powwow at Devil’s Promenade in Quapaw, Oklahoma. The event and several other connections—his greatgrandmother was Cherokee—reverberated throughout Beeler’s life. “I can still see all the bright colors and hear the sounds of that day. The pulsating beat of the drum, the singing and the sound of the dancers with their bells keeping constant rhythm to the songs,” the artist says in Joe Beeler: Life of a Cowboy Artist. “The seed was planted in me early for the love of the Indian way of life.”

Meticulous detail is the hallmark of a work by Dave McGary. The New Mexico artist takes it to an intense level in When Lightning Strikes: individual brass tacks are visible on the rifle, the figure’s shirt is painstakingly colored and has realistic folds and texture, rows of beads are visible on the rider’s moccasins and the fringe on the pants seems to bounce with the horse’s gallop. Much of this detail starts at the armature stage of the sculpture. “In the same sort of way that the finished sculpture will ‘speak’ to the viewer, the armature ‘speaks’ to McGary,” writes Michael Duty in Dave McGary: American Realism in Bronze — A Twenty Year Retrospective. “As he says, if it does not ‘breathe’ in this form, there is no way that it will succeed. No amount of attention to the intricate details of costume that he is known for will substitute for a piece that lacks ‘breath.’”

A chance encounter with painter and sculptor Harry Jackson in Wyoming had a profound effect on the teen-aged Dave McGary. He had already been casting his own jewelry when he met Jackson, who would become McGary’s mentor and teacher, as well as his instructor during a two-year course in Italy. Back in the United States, McGary started his own studio in New Mexico, where he would make highly detailed, polychrome bronze sculptures. “[His] works…all serve as links from the past to the present and into the future,” writes Michael Duty in Dave McGary: American Realism in Bronze — A Twenty Year Retrospective. “They offer the view and collector a way of understanding another culture.”

Like Fritz Scholder and Allan Houser before him, John Nieto took great pride in his abilities as an American artist, not just a Native American artist. His work—modern and abstract with huge panes of pure color fragmented around figures— was on the cutting edge of contemporary art, more comparable to Andy Warhol and Henri Matisse than any Western artist. Traditional Dancer, a reflection of his modernist approach to the figure, shows huge fields of blue surrounding the performer clad in regalia that includes silver medallions, armbands and a plume of feathers. Although the paint is applied in big blocks of color, detail is not lost, particularly in the face as the man’s profile cuts a magnificent silhouette against the deep blues of the background.
