Pascal Cucaro Oil on Board Painting
Lot #2 (Sale Order 2 of 1213)
9" by 13" framed. Signed as shown. Pascal Cucaro (1915 - 2004) was active/lived in California, Ohio. Pascal Cucaro is known for Clowns, marine, animal and portrait painting. Pascal (Pat) Cucaro was born in Youngstown, Ohio on November 6, 1915, to Italian immigrant parents. He worked in the circus during his childhood summers -- the experiences giving him a lifelong interest in clowns, and circus life. His painting style is characterized by a bold gestural quality, complimented by a thick application of paint. In some cases, the artwork has paint so thick it seems to have been applied straight from the tube. After serving in World War II, he attended the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco, then returned to Europe to spend time in France, Spain, and Italy to study art on his own. He became part of the art scene during the lively 'Beat' years in San Francisco's North Beach section, and exhibited his work at the Black Cat Cafe, The Iron Pot, The Lion Book Shop, The City Lights Book Shop, Vesuvio's, and The Hungry I. A one-man art show held at the Butler Institute of American Art at his hometown in 1958 was followed by other exhibitions in California, as well as Hawaii and Japan. He was nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1965. He has traveled extensively abroad to find new inspirations for his work -- to Japan, Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka, China, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Tahiti, and throughout Europe. He has explored a variety of subjects: clowns, circus scenes, boats, street scenes, still lifes, coffee shops, crowd themes (what Cucaro calls "people-people" paintings) animals, abstracts, portraits, and mediums such as oils, acrylics, plastic, ceramics, watercolors, tempera, etchings, india ink, ink/wash, and prints. To see him with his sunned complexion, his beret cocked over one ear, his chin and his nose, one would easily take him for a child of the Basque country or Burn. His Latin origin explains this resemblance, and it was likewise this Latin blood that drove him to travel in France and Spain. From his Parisian sojourn, from his studies in private studios, his long strolls along the length of the Seine or across the French countryside, he has brought back pictures which some feel vibrate with some of the magic of his masters; Cezanne, Lautrec, Utrillo and Dufy. The walls of his studio smile at you when the sun envelops them with its dust-laden light. They are hung with scenes evocative of the picturesque Paris discovered by the painter -- hidden spots, fountains forgotten by the tourist agencies, places where artists, painters and musicians dream again. This is the world of Pat Cucaro. Some of the scenes are of night-spots painted with humor and nostalgia a little in the manner of Lautrec, while others are abstract creations that are smoothly executed. Cucaro talks about only two things, painting and love. Those, he says, are his only interests. "I paint all the time, day and night. I have no television, no radio and only sometimes read the headlines of the newspapers." With dark, piercing eyes, a mobile face and expressive hands always on the move, the artist has been painting for over 70 years. From the beginning his work sold. "I was lucky," he says. "I didn't have to push hard to sell, and because of this I was able to work in peace. San Francisco has been good to me. I owe it to a woman who had faith in me from the beginning and believed in my talent. She bought my paintings as fast as I could make them and helped to get my name known." A continuous showing of Cucaro's work is maintained by Banducci's Hungry I -- a celebrated nightspot in the North Beach section of San Francisco. He is presently living in Marin County, across the Golden Gate bridge from San Francisco, and is still actively involved in his artwork. The City of Sausalito helped him celebrate his 85th birthday on November 6, 2000. A comment about Cucaro: "The great PASCAL (Pat) CUCARO gave me a book ("Cucaro," Sentinal Books, 1969) when I was a boy in the early 70's. My father used to own an art gallery in Sausalito when it really was a sleepy seaside artists community and during the summer I used to run around downtown all day. Cucaro used to hang out in the cafes, often talking to mesmerized young artists about art and life. He drew two pictures for me with a sharpie pen smearing the ink with his fingers for a paint-like effect. I remember that he always had ink or paint on his hands. And he smelled like garlic! :) He was a great guy, and that was a fun time of my life."

Sandy Ingersoll Montana Signed Print
Lot #25 (Sale Order 25 of 1213)
Signed and numbered. SANDY INGERSOLL (1908-1989) Sandy Ingersoll was born in Canyon Ferry, Montana and spent most of his life living in the Bitterroot Valley in western Montana. His family was among the original settlers that came to Montana when it was a territory. Sandy's grandfather was an early Helena physician and his father drove stagecoach. As a youth Sandy worked for several cattle outfits in western Montana. Many of these experiences became subjects for later art work. In 1928 Sandy graduated from Florence (Montana) High School, after which he worked for a logging company. In 1929 he married Lola James and worked on a Montana farm during the Depression. He and Lola moved briefly to Yakima, Washington so he could practice commercial art. This career was short lived and they moved back to western Montana where he returned to farm and cattle work. Up to this point, he was primarily a self-taught artist. In the 1930s he spent four years studying art through correspondence courses. In the early 1940s he went to Great Falls to learn sign painting. (Due to a kidney disorder he was not eligible for military service during World War II.) In Great Falls he studied under O. C. Seltzer. He found Seltzer a demanding taskmaster but one who is credited with teaching him the finer points of drawing and painting. Eventually settling in Stevensville, Montana, Ingersoll became a full-time artist in 1962. He supplemented his income by running a small print shop and teaching art classes. Although Ingersoll produced art for over 60 years his total output was not very large. He was a relatively slow artist who spent much of his time laboring over each piece. Ingersoll produced serigraphs, drawings, watercolors and oils. In his later years he produced drypoints and etchings. His themes are mostly Native Americans and cowboys set in central and western Montana. He died in Stevensville, Montana.

Elmer Sprunger Montana Antelope Drawing
Lot #41 (Sale Order 41 of 1213)
Artist is Elmer Sprunger of Montana. Pen and ink. 13" by 16" framed. Elmer Sprunger grew up on the west side of the Rockies around Bigfork, Flathead and Swan Lake. His sophomore year of high school was in Butte, where his art teacher was Elizabeth Lochrie. Her lessons took hold. Sprunger married Marie in 1940, and they moved to Seattle where his art training helped him to draw the patterns for Liberty Ships onto huge steel plates and to learn drafting. He worked in the woods cutting vitally needed timber and then joined the Army. After a year in California and another in Hawaii, he returned to the Olympic Peninsula where he worked in logging, construction, and road-building. In 1950 he came back to his boyhood haunts near Swan Lake. Besides carpentry, he did sign painting and made posters. His goal was never art so much as hunting and fishing. The three went together in his thinking. He and Marie have built their own comfortable house. Two of his major principles are fitting the animals to the land, so that none show up in a painting where they would never be in life, and making each animal a unique individual. He does use a camera, but only to record details for reference later.

Mary Penberthy Montana Watercolor Painting
Lot #83 (Sale Order 83 of 1213)
Mary Penberthy is a native Montanan, born and raised in the Lewistown area, the heart of Montana. She spent her formative years wandering the mountain trails and back roads of the beautiful Snowy, Moccasin and Judith mountains. She was immersed in the magnificent landscapes and studied the wildlife of Montana as she dreamed by the streams and lakes of her glorious homeland. She was consumed by Montana’s beauty and the stunning images were chiseled into her memories of youth. Mary dedicated herself to capturing nature’s glory in her drawings and paintings. As she matured and faced preparing herself for the "work-a-day world", she made a practical choice of obtaining a BS in Medical Technology, but her heart still remained in her artistic endeavors. Most every minute that she could steal away from her career and raising a family was devoted to studying her craft or applying her skills in painting. For over thirty years Mary’s paintings have reflected the images of Montana, its panoramas, its people and its history. Mary honed her artist skills through studying with such respected artists as Judy Betts, Fred Boyer, Mike Capser, Sally Bowen, Bruce Haughey and a number of other renowned artists. Mary’s love of her native homeland is mirrored in stunning portrayals of its unique scenes. She is skilled in watercolors, acrylics, pastels, pen and ink, as well as other media. Mary’s artwork has been shown in many open and juried art shows throughout the area and has received numerous awards. Her work is proudly displayed in private collections throughout the northwest and in other states. She hopes you find as much pleasure in viewing her work as she does in creating it.

Lot #101 (Sale Order 101 of 1213)
9.5" by 14" framed. "For over two and a half decades I have recorded nature's wild inhabitants and I have discovered the best part of life for me is nature; its wild places, its wild animals and birds. It is no longer possible to find the balance that once existed between nature and wildlife. We must remember that as the wilderness is diminished, humanity is also diminished. " A member of THE SOCIETY OF ANIMAL ARTISTS, Mel primarily paints wildlife subjects in their natural environment. Mel works in Scratchboard, Watercolor, Oil, Acrylic and Gouache. Some of his work has been reproduced as limited edition prints. Raised on a ranch in Utah, Mel Dobson worked for the Washington State Department of Game for eighteen years prior to beginning a full-time art career in the early 1970's. In 1977 he moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He has traveled throughout the western United States, Alaska, Canada, Africa, and Europe, studying and researching wildlife.

Nancy McLaughlin Powell Indian Painting Montana
Lot #110 (Sale Order 110 of 1213)
Gouache on paper of Indian Child. Artist is Nancy McLaughlin Powell the wife of Ace Powell. 9" by 11" framed. Born in Kalispell, Montana, Nancy McLaughlin became noted for her depictions of Indian faces from babies to men and in her later years, the portrayal of Indian legends. Her passion in her later years was portraying Indian legends. She worked mostly with pencil and pastels in the early days but moved on to watercolor, oil, and sculpture. During her career, McLaughlin lived in Washington, Arizona, and Texas. She drew mostly horses and animals during her early age. She graduated from Flathead High School, which has several works by her in their library. She attended the University of Montana to get a teaching degree and study art. There she met Ace Powell, twenty years older than she. They married and started a family in Hungry Horse, Montana. In 1964, the house and studio and art gallery in Hungry Horse burned to the ground. The cause was never determined for sure, but their personal and private art collection and Indian artifacts were all destroyed. The pressure of this calamity was too much and the couple divorced, leaving four children, David, Christa, Allison, and Ann, all who have remained in the northwest. McLaughlin had had a life-long struggle with asthma and respiratory illnesses, and this was the cause of her death, which occurred in Newport, Washington.

John Jones Cowboy Oil on Canvas Painting
Lot #161 (Sale Order 161 of 1213)
26.5" by 30.5" framed. I don't remember a time when I wasn't playing with some kind of art. I think everyone has the innate ability to do masterworks. What sets an artist apart from the everyday person is just the interest factor. I have an intense interest in drawing, painting, and sculpting. I was born at Hobbs, New Mexico, in 1940. Hobbs was a fairly new oil boom town, moving into the modern world when World War II came along. My folks were raised in Oklahoma and Texas, and their folks were part of the homesteading and settling, and farming and ranching of the West. My grandfather, on my mothers side, homesteaded around Weed, New Mexico, when my mom was about 5 years old. World War I disrupted that, when granpas' brother had to go into the Army, leaving 'granpa' to prove up on two homesteads and watch out for both families. When he thought he was going to get called up too. He traded the homesteads for some mules and a wagon and moved both families back to Fort Worth. That is just a typical story of all of us raised in the west. Some of us lived in towns and some stayed on the farms and ranches. My dad worked as a cowboy, farmer, oil field worker, and sheet metal worker, and I don't know what all. He was in the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC), and helped to plant wind rows and helped build a bridge and the trail in Grand Canyon. All I know is we moved a lot. My older brother was born in 1938 in Littlefield, Texas; my younger sister in Phoenix, Arizona; a younger brother in Albuquerque, New Mexico; and then another younger brother back in Hobbs. Some of my earliest memories are of making my toys out of clay. Then drawing all the time on what ever kind of paper I could get. I got hold of a roll of butcher paper when I was about 9, and remember drawing whole scenes right down the roll laid out on a cement floor. I remember making a lot of my own toys, whittling and carving them out of wood. I was sort of in different fantasy worlds, in that I made a lot of model airplanes and dressed in my western chaps and hat at the same time. And naturally I did adventure comic strips, especially when we were fighting the commies in Korea. The subject matter in my art was always varied, but the horse was always prominent. I 'dinked' with drawing and painting part time, as I discovered girls and cars, and sports and didn't know that a person could make a living doing artwork. After a stint in the Navy, I took a job with the Forest Service about 1970, and discovered Montana. I went in some Art Galleries in Kalispell, Montana, and saw that some guys were selling paintings. I said, "Heck, I can do that." So, I started doing paintings to sell, and started sculpting in wax. That started an adventure in Art, that continues today I learn from other Artists, books, TV shows, and anywhere that has something of interest. Mostly, I learn from trial and error. I think that masterpieces can be done in a closet, if that is the only space you have. But, I prefer to have a nice studio. I sometimes work on a series of paintings. Right now I am living in Lincoln, Nebraska, with my true Love, and have a nice studio. As I get a little older, I am having to narrow down my subject matter. I like the Old West Subjects best of all, but we aren't that far removed from the "Old West". So, I imagine that I will continue to do a mixture of old and new west, and anything with horses. I plan to do a series on the early longhorn cattle drives, and that may happen, if I can keep from straying too far. A few years ago, I went to Montana to do a series on the Longhorn, and wound up doing buffalo hunts and indians attacking stagecoaches. But, most everyone up there wanted me to do packer scenes, so I did a lot of packers and cowboys in slickers. I am using the Gray Ghost label because, some of my friends got to calling me the Gray Ghost when I would dissappear and reappear at different times and places. Actually, I was just looking for that perfect place to call home. A lot of the time I will hide out from the Rat Race and just paint. At the present time, this is the only place you will find my paintings. I am not working with any galleries right now. So, check back often to see new paintings.

Carol Hagan Paintings Buffalo Montana
Lot #185 (Sale Order 185 of 1213)
10.5" by 12.5" framed. Carol was born in 1962 in Central City, Nebraska but at the age of 7 she and her family moved to Montana where she still lives. Residing in this terrain has afforded her the opportunity to nurture her deep love of the animals and the terrain she portrays in her art. Painting and drawing did not play an important role in Carol's life until she was 25 years old after her son was born. At that time, she was searching for an occupation that would afford her the opportunity to stay at home and raise her son. She is self-taught and states that her paintings "...come from my heart" which is very evident when one views her art. She works with vibrant colors, layering them with complex techniques. She utilizes her own personal photographs for reference material which she states is imperative as far as taking her own photographs - enabling her to "catch" a certain spark which she then can transcend to the canvas. Carol says, "If the eyes don't work, the painting is not going to work." This is what makes Carol's paintings stand out - that unique ability to capture the soul of the wildlife she paints. She has become well known to collectors of art, novice and experienced alike, and has become quite successful. She participates in many shows, including the prestigious C.M. Russell Auction, the Buffalo Bill Art Show and Sale, the Desert Caballeros Western Museum's annual show and sale "Cowgirl Up", among others.

Born in Kalispell, Montana, Nancy McLaughlin became noted for her depictions of Indian faces from babies to men and in her later years, the portrayal of Indian legends. Her passion in her later years was portraying Indian legends. She worked mostly with pencil and pastels in the early days but moved on to watercolor, oil, and sculpture. During her career, McLaughlin lived in Washington, Arizona, and Texas. She drew mostly horses and animals during her early age. She graduated from Flathead High School, which has several works by her in their library. She attended the University of Montana to get a teaching degree and study art. There she met Ace Powell, twenty years older than she. They married and started a family in Hungry Horse, Montana. In 1964, the house and studio and art gallery in Hungry Horse burned to the ground. The cause was never determined for sure, but their personal and private art collection and Indian artifacts were all destroyed. The pressure of this calamity was too much and the couple divorced, leaving four children, David, Christa, Allison, and Ann, all who have remained in the northwest. McLaughlin had had a life-long struggle with asthma and respiratory illnesses, and this was the cause of her death, which occurred in Newport, Washington.

Rie Munoz Signed Numbered Print
Lot #250 (Sale Order 250 of 1213)
19.5" by 24.5" framed. Alaska regionalist painter Rie Mounier Munoz was the child of Dutch parents who immigrated to California, where she was born and raised. She is known for her colorful scenes of everyday life in Alaska. Rie (from Marie) Munoz (moo nyos), studied art at Washington and Lee University in Virginia. In 1950, she traveled up the Inside Passage by steamship, fell in love with Juneau, and gave herself until the boat left the next day to find a job and a place to live. Since then Juneau has been home to Munoz. She began painting small vignettes of Alaska soon after arriving in Juneau, and also studied art at the University of Alaska-Juneau. Munoz painted in oils in what she describes as a "painstakingly realistic" style, which she found stiff and "somewhat boring." Her breakthrough came a few years later when an artist friend introduced her to a versatile, water-soluble paint called casein. The immediacy of this inexpensive medium prompted an entirely new style. Rie's paintings became colorful and carefree, mirroring her own optimistic attitude toward life. With her newfound technique she set about recording everyday scenes of Alaskans at work and at play. Of the many jobs she has heldjournalist, teacher, museum curator, artist, mother, Munoz recalls one of her most memorable was as a teacher on King Island in 1951, where she taught 25 Eskimo children. The island was a 13-hour umiak (a walrus skin boat) voyage from Nome, an experience she remembers vividly. After teaching in the Inupiat Eskimo village on the island with her husband during one school year, she felt a special affinity for Alaska's Native peoples and deliberately set about recording their traditional lifestyles that she knew to be changing very fast. For the next twenty years, Rie practiced her art as a "Sunday painter," in and around prospecting with her husband, raising a son, and working as a freelance commercial artist, illustrator, cartoonist, and curator of exhibits for the Alaska State Museum. During her years in Alaska, Munoz has lived in a variety of small Alaskan communities, including prospecting and mining camps. Her paintings reflect an interest in the day-to-day activities of village life such as fishing, berry picking, children at play, as well as her love of folklore and legends. Munoz says that what has appealed to her most were "images you might not think an artist would want to paint," such as people butchering crab, skinning a seal, or doing their laundry in a hand-cranked washing machine. In 1972, with her hand-cut stencil and serigraph prints selling well in four locations in Alaska, she felt confident enough to leave her job at the Alaska State Museum and devote herself full time to her art. Freed from the constraints of an office job, she began to produce close to a hundred paintings a year, in addition to stone lithograph and serigraph prints. From her earliest days as an artist, Rie had firm beliefs about selling her work. First, she insisted the edition size should be kept modest. When she decided in 1973 to reproduce Eskimo Story Teller as an offset lithography print and found the minimum print run to be 500, she destroyed 200 of the prints. She did the same with King Island, her second reproduction. Reluctantly, to meet market demand, she increased the edition size of the reproductions to 500 and then 750. The editions stayed at that level for almost ten years before climbing to 950 and 1250. Munoz also believed her art should remain accessible to the people who provide the subject matter for her paintings, -the cannery workers and fishermen and residents of rural Alaska. Her first stencil prints sold for $9 and $12 when they were issued in 1969 and 1970. With few exceptions, new releases were still priced at $50 or less ten years later. Her work has been exhibited many solo watercolor exhibits in Alaska, Oregon and Washington State, including the Charles and Emma Frye Art Museum, Alaska State Museum in Juneau, Anchorage Historical and Fine Arts Museum, Tongass Historical Museum in Ketchikan, and Yukon Regional Library in Whitehorse; Yukon Territory, and included in exhibits at the Smithsonian Institute and Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. Munozs paintings have graced the covers of countless publications, from cookbooks to mail order catalogs, and been published in magazines, newspapers, posters, calendars, and two previous collections of her work: Rie Munoz, Alaskan Artist (Alaska Northwest Publishing Company, 1984) and Rie Munoz, Artist in Alaska (Rie Munoz Ltd., 1987). Galleries throughout the U.S. and Canada, as well as in Norway, Japan, England, and Holland carry her reproductions and original prints. Although Rie usually paints Alaskan subjects, collectors of her work live across the nation. Many collect thematically, such as focusing on images of Russian churches, for example, or all the bird prints, or the self-portraits. Now in her seventies, Rie completes fifty to sixty pain

Sandy Ingersoll Montana Indian Linocut Print
Lot #261 (Sale Order 261 of 1213)
8.5" by 11" framed. SANDY INGERSOLL (1908-1989) Sandy Ingersoll was born in Canyon Ferry, Montana and spent most of his life living in the Bitterroot Valley in western Montana. His family was among the original settlers that came to Montana when it was a territory. Sandy's grandfather was an early Helena physician and his father drove stagecoach. As a youth Sandy worked for several cattle outfits in western Montana. Many of these experiences became subjects for later art work. In 1928 Sandy graduated from Florence (Montana) High School, after which he worked for a logging company. In 1929 he married Lola James and worked on a Montana farm during the Depression. He and Lola moved briefly to Yakima, Washington so he could practice commercial art. This career was short lived and they moved back to western Montana where he returned to farm and cattle work. Up to this point, he was primarily a self-taught artist. In the 1930s he spent four years studying art through correspondence courses. In the early 1940s he went to Great Falls to learn sign painting. (Due to a kidney disorder he was not eligible for military service during World War II.) In Great Falls he studied under O. C. Seltzer. He found Seltzer a demanding taskmaster but one who is credited with teaching him the finer points of drawing and painting. Eventually settling in Stevensville, Montana, Ingersoll became a full-time artist in 1962. He supplemented his income by running a small print shop and teaching art classes. Although Ingersoll produced art for over 60 years his total output was not very large. He was a relatively slow artist who spent much of his time laboring over each piece. Ingersoll produced serigraphs, drawings, watercolors and oils. In his later years he produced drypoints and etchings. His themes are mostly Native Americans and cowboys set in central and western Montana. He died in Stevensville, Montana.

20" by 24" framed. Perry Acker, a popular painter of the Northwest landscape, and a much-loved teacher of watercolor painting, died Dec. 30 in Overlake Hospital. He was 86. Acker succumbed to congestive heart failure following bypass surgery. He was born April 6, 1903, in Oak Rapids, Mich. In 1907, Acker's family moved to Centralia, where he lived until 1928, when he moved to Aberdeen. He came to Seattle in 1945, and for 15 years owned and managed the American Printing and Lithographic Co. Acker did not turn seriously to art until he was 47. His skill with watercolors made his paintings much in demand. His work was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Academy Galleries, both in New York, at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco, and the Seattle Art Museum and the Frye Art Museum. The latter two museums include Acker's work in their permanent collections, as does the First National Art Collection in Portland, and the Craftsman Press Collection, in Seattle. Acker taught at the Burnley School of Professional Art, the Community Development Program at the University of Washington, and the Mendocino Art Center Summer Programs. He was a member of the American Watercolor Society, the West Coast Watercolor Society, the Northwest Watercolor Society, and the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Painters. Because he started late as an artist, he worked and studied very hard to learn. It made him a particularly fine teacher,'' said Jess Cauthorn, who headed Burnley School. He won many awards, and got into some prestigious shows. The painting tours he led to Mexico, Japan, Guatemala and Europe were so popular they were legendary.''

Smith is best remembered as one of the most outstanding southern printmakers working during the first half of the twentieth century and as an early and pioneering abstract expressionist painter and printmaker. Born in Lofton, Augusta County, Virginia the son of Alice Cornelia Harvey (1860 – 1939) and James Howard Smith (1855 – 1930). His father was employed by a stove company as a pattern maker and would often carve the patterns onto wooden blocks for printing, which fascinated Smith as a young child. As a child, Charles Smith spent a good deal of his youth in Waynesboro, Virginia. His grandfather and namesake, Charles W. Smith (1825 – 1859), was a well-known Virginia portrait painter. He began his art studies in earnest in 1911 when he attended the University of Virginia summer program under Alon Bement (1876 – 1954) and John Blair. Following his time there, he traveled to Washington, D.C. to study at the Corcoran School of Art under Richard N. Brookes and Catharine Critcher (1898 – 1964).

Sheryl Bodily Cowboy Signed Numbered Print Montana
Lot #333 (Sale Order 333 of 1213)
9" by 12". A western wildlife and landscape artist, Sheryl Bodily is a resident of Montana. He was the winner of the 1986 Ellensburg Washington Rodeo Association Poster Award, and recently received Best of Show/Flatwork at the Florence Festival Art Auction in Florence, Montana. Favorite subjects rendered in oil and pencil include Indian scenes with children, old cabins, wagon trains and wildlife. He is widely exhibited in Sante Fe and Taos, New Mexico, Sedona, Arizona and Idaho. In the fall of 1970, an art auction was held through the Pacific Northwest Indian Center in Spokane, Washington. To that auction a young man named Sheryl Bodily, from Columbia Falls, Montana, brought a few of his oil paintings. A good deal of excitement was caused by the fact that Mr. Bodily's paintings were sold at auction for twice their listed value. A few months later the performance was repeated at another art auction in Great Falls, Montana, and suddenly an artist who had been painting professionally for 12 years, two of them full time, was discovered. Suddenly a man who had had to work hard to sell his work, found himself with more advance commissions than he could readily complete. Western artist Sheryl Bodily was born in Boise, Idaho, on April 20, 1936, the second oldest in a family with one brother and four sisters. Mr. Bodily's father was a farmer in the Boise Valley, and he remembers six moves to different farms in that region. He described his father as the breadwinner and his mother as the counselor and teacher in his early years. "I remember milking eight to fifteen cows which was always my chore at home, but my real interest at that time was the hobby of collecting arrowheads and other artifacts in Rocky Canyon with my younger brother near Meridian, Idaho." His enthusiastic interest in Indian people and their contemporary culture has continued to grow over the years and has had a tremendous influence on his art. Mr. Bodily first remembers drawing in the first grade of the Meridian Idaho Grade School, and being told at that time by his teacher that someday he would become an artist. The artist laughingly suggested that, "it took nearly thirty years to prove her right." Mr. Bodily began oil painting at 14, and oil has been his primary medium since that time. He has also completed a number of works in pen and ink, but at present works almost entirely in oils. "I would like to do more pen and inks, but I´m so busy now with oils that I really can't find the time." After completing high school, Mr. Bodily studied commercial art for two years at Brigham Young University in Utah. He found during those two years that commercial art held little interest for him as a lifetime pursuit and at the end of two years he accepted a call to serve a two and one half year mission for his church to the Spanish speaking peoples of Texas and New Mexico. During this period, and shortly afterward, he traveled extensively in the southwest and expanded his interest in contemporary and historical Indian culture to include those of the southwest. Those years influenced his art and this influence can occasionally be noted in the rich colors used in the countryside depicted in some of his works.

It was at Fligelman's that Morgan received his first instruction in design, color and lettering. In high school, Morgan continued to refine his talents with his natural aptitude, a keen eye to what he viewed and the influence of his commercial art teacher, Freddy Robinson. In 1952, Morgan was hired to design exhibits at the Montana Historical Society. With nothing more than a high school education and a stint in the Montana National Guard, Bob spent 15 years, off and on, as curator of the Montana Historical Society where he designed exhibits and was in charge of art collections and all matters pertaining to the Society's art functions. In the mid 1970's, Bob left the Historical Society to pursue a career in art.

A move to Denver allowed her to study sculpture with Cowboy Artist Fritz White and again create her visions of Montana animals. Returning to Missoula in 1976, Marjorie pursued her passions for watercolor, wildlife and horses. Marjorie organized the Montana Dressage & Combined Training Association and the Five Valley's Pony Club. She is a founding member of the Montana Watercolor Society. These organizations helped develop her distinctive watercolor palate for favorite Montana subjects: horses, mules, children and wildlife. Majorie's goal is to paint the perfect horse that gallops off the canvas or the coyote that stalks through the waving grass and tempts the viewer to touch it. Marjorie has received several awards in the MTWS National Water Media Shows, and was awarded signature membership in 2004. She has been juried into numerous shows and her paintings and sculptures are in private and public collections throughout the West.

Lot #428 (Sale Order 428 of 1213)
Signed and numbered. 15" by 25.5". Montana artist, Robert F. Morgan was born in 1929 and lived in the Stansfield Lake area of the Helena Valley. "I've always fooled around with painting or some art form," Morgan says. When Bob was only 13 years old he got a job at Fligelman's Department Store in Helena in the advertising/display department. It was at Fligelman's that Morgan received his first instruction in design, color and lettering. In high school, Morgan continued to refine his talents with his natural aptitude, a keen eye to what he viewed and the influence of his commercial art teacher, Freddy Robinson. In 1952, Morgan was hired to design exhibits at the Montana Historical Society. With nothing more than a high school education and a stint in the Montana National Guard, Bob spent 15 years, off and on, as curator of the Montana Historical Society where he designed exhibits and was in charge of art collections and all matters pertaining to the Society's art functions. In the mid 1970's, Bob left the Historical Society to pursue a career in art.

Carlo of Hollywood Polynesian Painting
Lot #432 (Sale Order 432 of 1213)
Wonderful Mid Century work of Art. By Renowned artist Carlo of Hollywood. Complete with correct abstract frame. 15" by 21" framed. Little is known about Carlo, other than his ubiquitous signature on many 1950s decorative art. He landed some major gigs, including art already in tract houses like those in the original Levitown , NY . The studio, known as ARTCRAFT was located in the Lincoln Heights Station area of Los Angeles . Considered one of the oldest neighborhoods in LA, the region once was graced by large Victorian mansions on the bluffs above the Los Angeles River . By the end of the 1940s, however, many of the neighborhood’s middle class residents began the exodus out of the city, leaving MANY storefronts and warehouses/lofts available for fledgling artists and their companies. ARTCRAFT was such a company when they set up shop in what’s known affectionately as "the hills." Carlo was a real artist who hired out equally talented artists while he collected incredibly lucrative gigs for his hand-painted, ORIGINAL art. ARTCRAFT did not have the money or techniques to make machine-prints. Instead, each image put out by the company is unique and has the essence of the founder: CARLO OF HOLLYWOOD . My own research on Carlo uncovered the following interesting bit of information for all your retro-mid-1950s art sleuths. He painted as early as the 1950s. Carlo uses many mediums, typically focusing on oils and watercolors. The style and subjects of each medium are usually unique to that medium and differ from the others. His oils are often grand landscapes while his watercolors are typically portraits and action scenes. His art was carried in department stores and included with tract housing. "About Our Paintings – Artcraft of Hollywood is fortunate to have under exclusive contract 43 talented young artists who paint by special order only the beautiful originals our art directors create. Each and every artist has his own technique and style which therefore prohibits the finding of another painting exactly such as this.

16.5" by 21.5" framed. DAVE FOULGER When I was a boy, I went to an art show that was held in a grade school not far from where we lived. I had some interest in art then. I had had it from a very early age. I don't know where it came from, but it was there. Perhaps it originated when my mother told me how well I had done in drawing a picture of a toy road grader. She had been impressed with my attention to detail, and the ability I had to reproduce such a likeness of the thing using crayons. She had shown it to the family, and even to the neighbors. I remembered that. My older brother, whom I admired, was doing some pencil sketching in those days. I'm certain this made an impression on me. But this art show, near our home came up and someone suggested that David ought to go over and take a look. I think I was in the sixth grade. I went over several times in the next few days. I still remember today the feelings I had then. I was mesmerized by a few of the pieces. There was a stylized painting of a cowboy. I was interested in cowboys in those days. I remember he had a blue shirt on, and probably a sheriffs star and a six shooter. I loved that picture and tried several times to reproduce what I had seen. The piece that I remember most vividly was an exceedingly fine, realistic watercolor painting of hands done by an Asian artist. Those hands were incredible-so lifelike and real looking! I recall telling others about the hands and how they looked almost better than real hands. The works in this show were reported to have been done by professional artists. This was a little unusual for a small town like Cedar City, Utah in the 60's. I believe it was then that I said to myself, "I too am an artist." Things really haven't changed much for me since those days as far as my objective in painting. I am still as much fascinated by the realism that can be achieved on a two dimensional surface. While most other forms of art have always interested me I have never lost my fascination with Realism. And the more realistic the better! Its the truest form of alchemy that I know of. To transmute water and pigment on two dimensional paper into the illusion of a flower, a tree, a rock or some other dimensional form is one of life's profoundest pleasures for me. Just how close can one come to sharp focused, color saturated, hyper realism is the ultimate quest. Although that crude Crayon sketch I mentioned has long since disappeared, my reputation as the family artistic prodigy has not. While growing up, the school years were frequently punctuated with projects in the graphic realm & eventually culminated with a degree in Art in 1975 from BYU. During my adolescent years our family moved from one end of the country to the other while my dad pursed his vocation as a professional forester. I was born in Idaho in 1945. Our family of six lived about five years in each of several cities in northern and southern Utah, finally ending up in Virginia for two years of high school, and then graduating in 1964 in Montana. Although those formative years were an emotional hayride, which included an episode in Vietnam, I survived, but with not much ambition to create anything more than newspaper ads or hand lettered signs. A short stint with a drug store chain doing ads, and then work in electrical and commercial sign shops consumed the next few years. About four years additional experience came in the graphic arts realm while laboring in the display/exhibit field. In 1984 I opened my own business, which I operated for the next sixteen years. These were good years spent both in travels from Washington to northern California doing promotional window lettering and studio work painting signs. Many additional hours were spent busily engaged in the wood shop fabricating and finishing exhibit and display components. While these labors were not particularly fulfilling artistically, they prepared me to wield a brush with competence and precision. Refinements in the elements of composition, color and design, and patience in the manual skills were honed. Since 2000 I have set my hand to a plow of a deeper furrow, and not looking back, I press forward with the hope and intent to produce Art in the classical sense. Education: University of Montana at Missoula 1965. Burnley School of Professional Art, Seattle1966. Brigham Young University, BA degree 1975 "Foulger best achieves his aim of making the viewer feel present at the scene with The Tiffany, his painting of a fishing boat. The viewer can almost feel the weathered hull, hear the lapping of the murky, foaming harbor water and smell the salt air...In an art world that sometimes prioritizes concept at the expense of esthetics and technical ability, Foulger offers paintings that are visually stunning and with enough mastery of composition and other formal qualities to be enjoyed at an intellectual level."

Nancy McLaughlin Powell Indian Painting Montana
Lot #490 (Sale Order 490 of 1213)
Gouache on paper of Indian Child. Artist is Nancy McLaughlin Powell the wife of Ace Powell. 9" by 11" framed. Born in Kalispell, Montana, Nancy McLaughlin became noted for her depictions of Indian faces from babies to men and in her later years, the portrayal of Indian legends. Her passion in her later years was portraying Indian legends. She worked mostly with pencil and pastels in the early days but moved on to watercolor, oil, and sculpture. During her career, McLaughlin lived in Washington, Arizona, and Texas. She drew mostly horses and animals during her early age. She graduated from Flathead High School, which has several works by her in their library. She attended the University of Montana to get a teaching degree and study art. There she met Ace Powell, twenty years older than she. They married and started a family in Hungry Horse, Montana. In 1964, the house and studio and art gallery in Hungry Horse burned to the ground. The cause was never determined for sure, but their personal and private art collection and Indian artifacts were all destroyed. The pressure of this calamity was too much and the couple divorced, leaving four children, David, Christa, Allison, and Ann, all who have remained in the northwest. McLaughlin had had a life-long struggle with asthma and respiratory illnesses, and this was the cause of her death, which occurred in Newport, Washington.

Rie Munoz Signed Numbered Print
Lot #503 (Sale Order 503 of 1213)
14" by 16.5" framed. Alaska regionalist painter Rie Mounier Munoz was the child of Dutch parents who immigrated to California, where she was born and raised. She is known for her colorful scenes of everyday life in Alaska. Rie (from Marie) Munoz (moo nyos), studied art at Washington and Lee University in Virginia. In 1950, she traveled up the Inside Passage by steamship, fell in love with Juneau, and gave herself until the boat left the next day to find a job and a place to live. Since then Juneau has been home to Munoz. She began painting small vignettes of Alaska soon after arriving in Juneau, and also studied art at the University of Alaska-Juneau. Munoz painted in oils in what she describes as a "painstakingly realistic" style, which she found stiff and "somewhat boring." Her breakthrough came a few years later when an artist friend introduced her to a versatile, water-soluble paint called casein. The immediacy of this inexpensive medium prompted an entirely new style. Rie's paintings became colorful and carefree, mirroring her own optimistic attitude toward life. With her newfound technique she set about recording everyday scenes of Alaskans at work and at play. Of the many jobs she has heldjournalist, teacher, museum curator, artist, mother, Munoz recalls one of her most memorable was as a teacher on King Island in 1951, where she taught 25 Eskimo children. The island was a 13-hour umiak (a walrus skin boat) voyage from Nome, an experience she remembers vividly. After teaching in the Inupiat Eskimo village on the island with her husband during one school year, she felt a special affinity for Alaska's Native peoples and deliberately set about recording their traditional lifestyles that she knew to be changing very fast. For the next twenty years, Rie practiced her art as a "Sunday painter," in and around prospecting with her husband, raising a son, and working as a freelance commercial artist, illustrator, cartoonist, and curator of exhibits for the Alaska State Museum. During her years in Alaska, Munoz has lived in a variety of small Alaskan communities, including prospecting and mining camps. Her paintings reflect an interest in the day-to-day activities of village life such as fishing, berry picking, children at play, as well as her love of folklore and legends. Munoz says that what has appealed to her most were "images you might not think an artist would want to paint," such as people butchering crab, skinning a seal, or doing their laundry in a hand-cranked washing machine. In 1972, with her hand-cut stencil and serigraph prints selling well in four locations in Alaska, she felt confident enough to leave her job at the Alaska State Museum and devote herself full time to her art. Freed from the constraints of an office job, she began to produce close to a hundred paintings a year, in addition to stone lithograph and serigraph prints. From her earliest days as an artist, Rie had firm beliefs about selling her work. First, she insisted the edition size should be kept modest. When she decided in 1973 to reproduce Eskimo Story Teller as an offset lithography print and found the minimum print run to be 500, she destroyed 200 of the prints. She did the same with King Island, her second reproduction. Reluctantly, to meet market demand, she increased the edition size of the reproductions to 500 and then 750. The editions stayed at that level for almost ten years before climbing to 950 and 1250. Munoz also believed her art should remain accessible to the people who provide the subject matter for her paintings, -the cannery workers and fishermen and residents of rural Alaska. Her first stencil prints sold for $9 and $12 when they were issued in 1969 and 1970. With few exceptions, new releases were still priced at $50 or less ten years later. Her work has been exhibited many solo watercolor exhibits in Alaska, Oregon and Washington State, including the Charles and Emma Frye Art Museum, Alaska State Museum in Juneau, Anchorage Historical and Fine Arts Museum, Tongass Historical Museum in Ketchikan, and Yukon Regional Library in Whitehorse; Yukon Territory, and included in exhibits at the Smithsonian Institute and Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. Munozs paintings have graced the covers of countless publications, from cookbooks to mail order catalogs, and been published in magazines, newspapers, posters, calendars, and two previous collections of her work: Rie Munoz, Alaskan Artist (Alaska Northwest Publishing Company, 1984) and Rie Munoz, Artist in Alaska (Rie Munoz Ltd., 1987). Galleries throughout the U.S. and Canada, as well as in Norway, Japan, England, and Holland carry her reproductions and original prints. Although Rie usually paints Alaskan subjects, collectors of her work live across the nation. Many collect thematically, such as focusing on images of Russian churches, for example, or all the bird prints, or the self-portraits. Now in her seventies, Rie completes fifty to sixty painti

12" by 15" framed. The following was submitted by Mary Davis who wrote: "In the early 1970's I purchased a painting in Mr. Checkley's shop down by the San Francisco wharf. On the back of it, he attached a biographical sketch that included his picture. In its entirety it is as follows: New Zealander John Checkley, A San Franciscan since 1955, enjoys a well-deserved reputation for his charming water colors, which capture the ever-changing moods of the Bay Area. Now he has developed a unique style in acrylics, gaining immediate recognition for himself and winning an enthusiastic following in art circles across the nation. Checkley completed his schooling in New Zealand's St. Andrews College and went on to major in art at the University of New Zealand. He entered the advertising profession only to have his career interrupted by three years of military service in the Pacific during World War II. After the conflict, he concentrated on graphic arts. His career led him to the United States in 1948 where he joined Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborn, one of the world's great advertising agencies, in New York City. Checkley held a successful series of one-man shows in New York before moving to San Francisco in 1955. In the City by the Bay, he has appeared on KQED, the nation's most honored educational station, and he has conducted classes in painting. Checkleys hang in numerous private collections and are prominently displayed in the permanent collections of the New York Historical Society and in the Bank of New York. A realist by nature, Checkley interprets the many facets of San Francisco as he sees them. His sketching trips have taken him to Tokyo, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Tahiti, and to the nations of Europe. Checkley lives in Greenbrae, California, with his wife, two children and a cat. Most of his painting is done on a houseboat -- a converted World War landing craft -- moored in Sausalito.

11" by 13" framed. I don't remember a time when I wasn't playing with some kind of art. I think everyone has the innate ability to do masterworks. What sets an artist apart from the everyday person is just the interest factor. I have an intense interest in drawing, painting, and sculpting. I was born at Hobbs, New Mexico, in 1940. Hobbs was a fairly new oil boom town, moving into the modern world when World War II came along. My folks were raised in Oklahoma and Texas, and their folks were part of the homesteading and settling, and farming and ranching of the West. My grandfather, on my mothers side, homesteaded around Weed, New Mexico, when my mom was about 5 years old. World War I disrupted that, when granpas' brother had to go into the Army, leaving 'granpa' to prove up on two homesteads and watch out for both families. When he thought he was going to get called up too. He traded the homesteads for some mules and a wagon and moved both families back to Fort Worth. That is just a typical story of all of us raised in the west. Some of us lived in towns and some stayed on the farms and ranches. My dad worked as a cowboy, farmer, oil field worker, and sheet metal worker, and I don't know what all. He was in the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC), and helped to plant wind rows and helped build a bridge and the trail in Grand Canyon. All I know is we moved a lot. My older brother was born in 1938 in Littlefield, Texas; my younger sister in Phoenix, Arizona; a younger brother in Albuquerque, New Mexico; and then another younger brother back in Hobbs. Some of my earliest memories are of making my toys out of clay. Then drawing all the time on what ever kind of paper I could get. I got hold of a roll of butcher paper when I was about 9, and remember drawing whole scenes right down the roll laid out on a cement floor. I remember making a lot of my own toys, whittling and carving them out of wood. I was sort of in different fantasy worlds, in that I made a lot of model airplanes and dressed in my western chaps and hat at the same time. And naturally I did adventure comic strips, especially when we were fighting the commies in Korea. The subject matter in my art was always varied, but the horse was always prominent. I 'dinked' with drawing and painting part time, as I discovered girls and cars, and sports and didn't know that a person could make a living doing artwork. After a stint in the Navy, I took a job with the Forest Service about 1970, and discovered Montana. I went in some Art Galleries in Kalispell, Montana, and saw that some guys were selling paintings. I said, "Heck, I can do that." So, I started doing paintings to sell, and started sculpting in wax. That started an adventure in Art, that continues today I learn from other Artists, books, TV shows, and anywhere that has something of interest. Mostly, I learn from trial and error. I think that masterpieces can be done in a closet, if that is the only space you have. But, I prefer to have a nice studio. I sometimes work on a series of paintings. Right now I am living in Lincoln, Nebraska, with my true Love, and have a nice studio. As I get a little older, I am having to narrow down my subject matter. I like the Old West Subjects best of all, but we aren't that far removed from the "Old West". So, I imagine that I will continue to do a mixture of old and new west, and anything with horses. I plan to do a series on the early longhorn cattle drives, and that may happen, if I can keep from straying too far. A few years ago, I went to Montana to do a series on the Longhorn, and wound up doing buffalo hunts and Indians attacking stagecoaches. But, most everyone up there wanted me to do packer scenes, so I did a lot of packers and cowboys in slickers. I am using the Gray Ghost label because, some of my friends got to calling me the Gray Ghost when I would disappear and reappear at different times and places. Actually, I was just looking for that perfect place to call home. A lot of the time I will hide out from the Rat Race and just paint. At the present time, this is the only place you will find my paintings. I am not working with any galleries right now. So, check back often to see new paintings.

Ram Country Bronze James Marsico Bighorn Sheep
Lot #693 (Sale Order 693 of 1213)
Very nice bronze. Artist is James Marsico. 9" tall. James has been a full-time artist and sculptor since 1970. James works out of his studio and gallery, Mountain Valley Artistry, in Powell, Wyoming, which is in the heart of the Rocky Mountains by Yellowstone National Park. James has been been honored with several fine art awards, and he has completed several monument size bronze sculpture editions. He welcomes commission work. James has national and international collectors. Number one of his life-size elk monument bronze "Yellowstone Bull" was shipped to a collector in Geneva, Switzerland. His monument sculptures can be found from coast to coast. He recently completed several life-size sculptures for the Grand Teton Visitors Center in the Jackson Hole town of Moose, Wyoming. In addition, museums, including the Smithsonian Natural Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., display some of his work. At the Smithsonian, he directed the mounting and installation of a pronghorn antelope taxidermy diorama. This diorama includes the life-size custom mounts of a complete family of pronghorns. "My wife and I collected the flora and fauna for the diorama near my home in Wyoming James said. “Thousands of people walk past this national exhibit everyday. The Pronghorn Society, the Wyoming Taxidermist Association, and the Wyoming Outfitters Association commissioned this project. James grew up in California’s Napa Valley in Marin County. “My father, James M. Marsico ran the winery Cuvasan Wines and also was well-known as a master gun smith and engraver, James said. “My dad was an Air Force veteran of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. My dad was truly a great artist and a major influence on who I am today. “My grandfather, also named James, was also an artist and inventor, from Creekside, Pennsylvania, James added. One thing James took away from working for five years from 1970-76 at a large taxidermy and artist studio in Alaska was how to sculpt the “manikins,or exacting animal forms, which support the tanned skins of the trophy to be mounted. This type of exacting life-size sculpture is very demanding. “You have to learn animal anatomy to recreate realistic animal sculpture, and a very useful discipline to accomplish this is taxidermy study. The two art forms complement one another very well. In the early 1970’s, James moved to Park County, Wyoming, and he began sculpting and casting miniatures for bronze limited edition castings. They were quickly a great success for him. James was a volunteer firefighter in Powell, Wyoming, for eight years and received the departments’ “Firefighter of the Year award in 1994. He is a certified state, city and wild lands firefighter.

Tal Para Qual (Two of a Kind) Francisco Goya
Lot #800 (Sale Order 800 of 1213)
Nice Piece. Plate 5 from the Caprichos First Edition of 1799. Purchased from Ira Gale of London in 1967. 11" by 14" framed. One of the more famous Spanish painters associated with influencing French Romantic painters, Francisco Goya was born in Fuendetodos, and took his earliest art lessons from his father, who was a master gilder. He also studied etching with monks in Saragossa, and then in 1776, when he was age 30, went to Madrid, where he was influenced by Giovanni Tiepolo, who did lighthearted historical genre scenes in rich coloration. In 1786, Goya became a court painter and did numerous royal portraits that had a light palette and "sparkling manner". By 1792, he was suffering ill health and had lost his hearing. During his recovery period, he did the work for which he is most known---"humanistic-biting satire on social mores with more than a hint of double meaning." And historical events turned him increasingly from more light hearted subjects. Napoleon invaded Spain in 1808, and Goya's themes reflected the cruelty and wanton killing that he observed. The Spanish monarchy was restored in 1814, and Goya who was a Republican, retired to a country home, where he, with much dampened spirit, painted with dark, sombre tones. He did "Black" frescoes in his home, "pessimistic yet imaginative images of degraded and bestial humanity. . .terrible but fascinatin-hallucinatory nightmares that foretell of death and destruction. He died in Bordeaux in 1828, having gone into voluntary exile in France in 1824.

Hugh Kepets 1974 Engraving North Window
Lot #802 (Sale Order 802 of 1213)
22.5" by 29.5". Hugh Kepets was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1946 and received Fine Arts degrees from Carnegie-Mellon University and Ohio University. He now lives and works in New York City. For the past dozen years he has been represented in national and international juried and invitational shows as well as four one-man shows in New York and others in Dallas, Pittsburgh, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago and Philadelphia. Kepets is an artist intrigued by fragmented views of reality. Concentration on subjects like architecture and still life, he makes reality seem magical in his precise and patterned close-ups and sharply cropped compositions. Complicated and engaging, his works transform familiar objects into highly evocative abstractions. Kepets' work is in most major corporate, numerous private and many public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Library of Congress, Cleveland Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, and Harvard and Yale University Museums.

9.5" by 11.5" framed. Signed as shown. Irvin "Shorty" Shope (b. May 11, 1900- d. 1977) Painted 11 Mountie subjects between 1959-1960. Irvin "Shorty" Shope was raised on a ranch in Montana, and fell under the influence of the western painter Edgar S. Paxson while still in high school. Between 1919 and 1930, Shope worked as a cowboy on Montana ranches, while studying art through a correspondence course. Beginning in 1925, he first exhibited his paintings in Montana, and received some commercial assignments. Having sold his first painting at the age of thirty, Shope returned to college, majoring in art and history. In Helena, Montana, Shope began working as a commercial artist for the state government, and at that time also spent a few months studying under the well-known illustrator Harvey Dunn at the Grand Central School of Art in New York. Shope's usual subjects were cowboys, the Blackfoot Indians, mountains and deserts, and all his works have a distinctly western look. The eleven paintings he created for The Northwest Paper Company in 1959 and 1960 also have the look of the west about them, often featuring the Mountie with Indians, ranchers, and cattle.
Joan Miro Galerie Maeght Exhibition Poster
Lot #806 (Sale Order 806 of 1213)
Original Joan Miro (Spanish, 1893 – 1983) exhibition poster for Cartons at Galerie Maeght. The Original Color Lithograph Print features an amazing abstract design by Joan Miro for the Galerie Maeght. Printed by Arte Adrien Maeght, Paris. Published by Galerie Maeght, Paris. 23.25" by 29.5". Joan Miro was born in Barcelona, Spain on April 20, 1893, the son of a watchmaker. From 1912 he studied at the Barcelona Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Academie Gali. In the first quarter of the 20th century, Barcelona was a cosmopolitan, intellectual city with a craving for the new in art, music and literature. But it was not the place where great art was being made. That place was Paris and Miro established himself there at the age of twenty-six. He made friends with Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Ernest Hemingway, Max Ernst and Paul Klee and was accepted as a Surrealist, looking stronger as the years went by. He lived alone in Paris in total poverty, but everytime he went out he wore a monocle and white spats. He kept his brushes clean, waxed and polished the floor of his studio and arranged his canvases in neat order. Miro went about his career with orderly determination. He wrote to Picasso in 1929 that he was looking for a studio, a dealer and a wife. That same year he married the daughter of family friends. Her name was Pilar Juncosa and they were happily married in 1929 and were together for fifty-four years. They had one daughter, Dolores. Miro was certainly the most distinguished painter of Catalonia; he was intensely proud of that fact. All of his work was conceived in Montroig (the site of his family's farm). Most important of these was the painting named The Farm which did not sell in Paris and was sold finally to Ernest Hemingway for $250. He was the most enduring of the Surrealist artists; he first visited the United States in 1947 in order to execute a mural Commission in Cincinnati, Ohio. His reputation had preceded him and he had already had enormous influence on such American artists as Adolph Gottlieb and Mark Rothko, who had adopted his Surrealist automatism and mysterious primitive symbols for their own purposes. Miro had tried his hand at ceramics, bronze sculpture, printmaking, book illustration, posters, costume design, etc. He was seventy-nine years old when he began his series of monumental bronzes. When he was eighty, he joined forces with a young Spaniard named Josep Royo who was a weaver of tapestries. Miro would spread Royo's tapestries on the floor and proceed to design changes, adding all kinds of materials, painting some areas, even burning areas. The result was a series called Sobreteixims. Miro has transformed the Royo tapestries from admirable folk art into perhaps masterpieces. He died on Christmas Day in 1983 in Palma Majorca where he had lived and worked for several years.
Pablo Picasso Femme au Balcon Affiche Œuvre gravé

Signed in crayon as shown. Edition of 145 done during Picasso's Life. 20.25' by 26.25" framed. Purchased from Ira Gale Gallery of London in 1967. Mourlot 355. Published for Galerie des Ponchettes, on Arches paper, with full margins. A painter and printmaker who revolutionized western art, Pablo Picasso was born in Spain and lived most of his life either there or in France. His father was an art teacher, and the young Pablo grew up in an artistic environment. By the age of fourteen, he was an accomplished draftsman, and in 1900 at age nineteen, he made his first trip to Paris. There he studied the Old Masters* and Classical* sculpture and also was exposed to the paintings of Impressionists* and Post Impressionists*. Between 1901 and 1904, his work was dominated by a blue palette, which has led to this time being called his "Blue Period". Blue, for him, was to symbolize the ". . . suffering-frequently hunger and cold, the hardships he experienced while attempting to establish himself." (Arnason, 125) By 1905, his 'Rose or Circus Period' was beginning, and also later that year, he became doing painting reflective of a growing interest in African masks. By 1907, he painted what is regarded as his first masterpiece and as the first Cubist painting, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Although he said: "I think about Death all the time. She is the only woman who never leaves me." (Walther) His relationships with 'live' women influenced much of his artwork. It is thought that his switch from 'blue' to 'rose', that is from depression to happiness, was determined by his meeting Fernande Olivier, allegedly his first serious female relationship. He lived with her for seven years. From that time, he did numerous portraits of wives, children and mistresses. In 1908, Picasso began working in Paris with Georges Braque (1882-1963), and together until 1914 and the beginning of World War I, they created collages* and the first phase of Cubism* that included still life and portraits. They worked so closely together that many scholars are unable to tell some of their work apart or to determine which of them contributed certain concepts. Picasso went to Rome from 1914 to 1918 to do set designs and costumes for the Russian Ballet and during this time also did some realistic painting and drawing, and printmaking emerged as a major part of his art as a result of the time he spent drawing. His graphic art, which actually dated to 1905, was diverse as he was ever looking for new modes of expression, and he did etchings, drypoint, linocuts, woodcuts, aquatints and sometimes combinations. In Rome, he met his first wife, Olga Koklova, a Russian ballet dancer. In the early part of the 1920s, he did abstract figurative work that was so grotesque in distortion that it set the stage for his participation in Surrealist* exhibitions in Europe. Also the experimentation with figurative shapes led him to sculpture, an interest he had expressed earlier. The 1920s are regarded as one of the most productive periods of Picasso's career. He did paintings with vivid coloration expressing his ". . .total experience of curvilinear cubism and classical idealism." (Arnason, 393) In 1927, he began a relationship with seventeen-year-old Marie Therese Walther, and in 1936 with Dora Maar, a photographer. In 1937, inspired by the Spanish Civil War, he painted Guernica, which is regarded as one of his landmark paintings and certainly one that carried a strong message of human suffering during wartime. During the World War II years, Picasso did a lot of modeling in clay and creating of assemblages with found objects, and many of the pieces, especially after the War, expressed his sense of humor. Also after the War, he began creating with ceramics, and he was very productive with printmaking. His female companion, beginning 1943, was Francoise Gilot, a painter, with whom he had two children, Claude and Paloma. His last female relationship was with Jacqueline Roque, whom he met in 1953 and married in 1961. Pablo Picasso died on April 8, 1973 at the age of 91. The last eight years of his life had been difficult because of prostate problems, but he continued to be productive. Of him, it was written in Time magazine, May 26, 1980: "To the end . . . Picasso remained Picasso; an indefatigable worker, a lover of mischief and pranks, quirky, increasingly aloof, mercurial, yet often remarkably generous and warm."

Lot #821 (Sale Order 821 of 1213)
Nice mid century piece of Montana studio pottery. Artist is Becky Eiker. 6" tall, 6.5" long. Born in 1942 in Valley City, North Dakota, Becky Eiker began her career as an art teacher, and then evolved into a potter and then made the natural transition into sculpture. Her interest in the human figure stems from a group of Helena, Montana artists who met and shared model expenses. Because the poses of models are limited and rather static, Becky began to draw from her imagination to get more action and feeling into her figures. Becky's sculpture has received numerous awards in juried competition. Because of her ability to work spontaneously in clay, she also participates in many "Qucik Draw" events. In 1999, Becky presented the City of Helena with her first life-size bronze of a newsboy entitled "Extra! Extra!" as a thank you for the community's support of her career. Becky and her husband reside in Helena, Montana.

Sheryl Bodily Cowboy Signed Pen and Ink Drawing
Lot #1039 (Sale Order 1039 of 1213)
17" by 20" framed. A western wildlife and landscape artist, Sheryl Bodily is a resident of Montana. He was the winner of the 1986 Ellensburg Washington Rodeo Association Poster Award, and recently received Best of Show/Flatwork at the Florence Festival Art Auction in Florence, Montana. Favorite subjects rendered in oil and pencil include Indian scenes with children, old cabins, wagon trains and wildlife. He is widely exhibited in Sante Fe and Taos, New Mexico, Sedona, Arizona and Idaho. In the fall of 1970, an art auction was held through the Pacific Northwest Indian Center in Spokane, Washington. To that auction a young man named Sheryl Bodily, from Columbia Falls, Montana, brought a few of his oil paintings. A good deal of excitement was caused by the fact that Mr. Bodily's paintings were sold at auction for twice their listed value. A few months later the performance was repeated at another art auction in Great Falls, Montana, and suddenly an artist who had been painting professionally for 12 years, two of them full time, was discovered. Suddenly a man who had had to work hard to sell his work, found himself with more advance commissions than he could readily complete. Western artist Sheryl Bodily was born in Boise, Idaho, on April 20, 1936, the second oldest in a family with one brother and four sisters. Mr. Bodily's father was a farmer in the Boise Valley, and he remembers six moves to different farms in that region. He described his father as the breadwinner and his mother as the counselor and teacher in his early years. "I remember milking eight to fifteen cows which was always my chore at home, but my real interest at that time was the hobby of collecting arrowheads and other artifacts in Rocky Canyon with my younger brother near Meridian, Idaho." His enthusiastic interest in Indian people and their contemporary culture has continued to grow over the years and has had a tremendous influence on his art. Mr. Bodily first remembers drawing in the first grade of the Meridian Idaho Grade School, and being told at that time by his teacher that someday he would become an artist. The artist laughingly suggested that, "it took nearly thirty years to prove her right." Mr. Bodily began oil painting at 14, and oil has been his primary medium since that time. He has also completed a number of works in pen and ink, but at present works almost entirely in oils. "I would like to do more pen and inks, but I´m so busy now with oils that I really can't find the time." After completing high school, Mr. Bodily studied commercial art for two years at Brigham Young University in Utah. He found during those two years that commercial art held little interest for him as a lifetime pursuit and at the end of two years he accepted a call to serve a two and one half year mission for his church to the Spanish speaking peoples of Texas and New Mexico. During this period, and shortly afterward, he traveled extensively in the southwest and expanded his interest in contemporary and historical Indian culture to include those of the southwest. Those years influenced his art and this influence can occasionally be noted in the rich colors used in the countryside depicted in some of his works.
