Paul Surber Montana Indian Teepee Painting
Lot #62 (Sale Order 62 of 1311)
12.5" by 16.25" framed. Gouache. Paul Surber was born in Redlands CA., in 1942. His first encounter with Indians was in a Parade when he was five years old. Attracted to the colorful and ornate costumes, he went home to draw with his crayons what he had seen. Paul has been drawing and painting Indians ever since. He is known for paintings of Indians and landscapes in oil, acrylic, and gouache. He has spent much of his life living close to the source of his inspiration, the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana and the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico. Surber now divides his time between Montana and Arizona. Paul has had so many great influences in his lifetime, from a childhood of roaming a museum as a young boy. Once a week his mother would drop him off with a sack lunch, which he would hide in the corner, as he spent the day wandering through the museum with admiration for the newest exhibit. Then a teacher realized that Paul, at a young age, had a learning disability and bought for him his first book on cowboys and Indians. The book instantly caught his interest and making it easier for Paul to learn to read. At a Fourth of July parade featuring Native American costumes Paul’s artistic imagination come to life. He was just five years old. Paul Surber made his way through life. As fate would have it he met an old German master artist who recognized his potential and with great discipline taught him that a good painting came from a good monochrome. He has used this method ever since. He created life long friendships in the art world, most were icons in their knowledge of Indian tribes and customs, which exposed him to original Indian artifacts. He would photograph and revisit time and time again to make sure his vision was represented as accurate as possible. At first, Paul started selling to the public his landscapes in gouache. He would travel mostly in Montana photographing locations along a river, mountain ranges or the prairies which the Indian tribes where believed to have traversed. Then he would add to the painting his vision of teepees, people, horses, drying racks and so on. He then moved to figurative paintings, first with a monochrome then finish with oil or acrylics. Paul’s greatest works are these portraits of chiefs, warriors and sometimes just the common native people. His discipline is never to paint without knowledge and deep understanding of the Native American culture.

Hank Lawshe Artist Proof Indian Engraving Montana
Lot #64 (Sale Order 64 of 1311)
11" by 14" framed. Hank Lawshe was born in Los Angeles in 1935 and died in 1993. The move East of his commercial art employer was the turning point in his career. After growing up on the family farm in central Illinois, Lawshe worked as a mechanic and soldier, with five years as a champion race car driver. He began his career in art as a sign painter, and in 1966, accepted a job as a commercial artist with a new advertising agency in Fort Collins, Colorado. In 1971, he was promoted to Vice President in management rather than art and continued to paint in oil as a hobby, selling the paintings through a sporting goods store. When his employer asked him to move, he quit and became a caretaker of a remote Montana ranch. Teaching himself to switch to fine art was difficult. In 1977, he won the Best of Show at the C. M. Russell Art Show and in 1979, he was elected a member of the Northwest Rendezvous Group.

Ted De Grazia Painted Wood Plaque Sign
Lot #252 (Sale Order 252 of 1311)
This is the original Gallery Sign for Ted De Grazia. It hung above his work area. Several hand written notes on the back. Was given by Ted as a personal gift to Daro Flood in 1968. 10" by 30.25". Born in the mining town of Morenci, Arizona, Ted DeGrazia became one of Arizona's most prominent painters, illustrators, and graphic artists, resulting in his studio gallery being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. He lived most of his life near Tucson, and worked in his studio, open to the public, that he called "The Gallery of the Sun." His signature work is paintings and illustrations of 'angel-like' Southwest children, many of them Indian and Hispanic. He was the son of an immigrant father who was a copper miner for Phelps Dodge Company, but Ted, at age eleven, returned to Italy with his family for the next five years. When he returned to Morenci, he had forgotten most of his English and entered first grade at age 16. One of his teachers decided to Anglicize his name from Ettore to "Ted" because it was easier to spell. He did not graduate from high school until age 23. During this time, the Depression, he had developed interest and skill as a musician and earned money playing trumpet in local bands at houses of "ill repute." He attended the University of Arizona to learn to paint, but dropping out, went to Mexico City to study fresco techniques with social-real muralists Diego Rivera and Jose Orozco, who in turn were so admiring of his painting that they sponsored an exhibition of De Grazia's work. He also traveled extensively throughout Arizona, experimenting with ceramics and depicting on paper and canvas local people. In 1941, a special exhibit was held of work completed during these travels. In the late 1930s, he had his first trip to the Navajo Reservation, which stirred a special feeling for subjects he depicted from that time. Previously he had had much exposure to the other Arizona tribes--Pimas, Papagos, Apaches and Yaquis, but he became especially fascinated with the seemingly empty land, life around the trading posts, and children herding their sheep. He returned to Tucson from Mexico in 1943, and built an adobe studio and in 1945 earned his Master's Degree in music and art. His illustrations for greeting cards brought him early attention among Arizonans, but he was hurt that the University Art Department showed little interest in his accomplishments. This rejection caused him to go it alone, so he built his own gallery in Tucson from adobe and decorated it with Indian and Mexican motifs. His paintings were devoted to subjects related to the history of the region, and he was fascinated with the purity of their life before the infiltration of white civilization. However, the busy-ness of Tucson caused him in 1951 to build another gallery he called Gallery of the Sun. It was modelled after haciendas on Mexican ranches and was located in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of the city. About that same time, he formed a friendship with Buck Saunders, a gallery owner in Scottsdale, and Saunders held a one-man show of DeGrazia's work. To their amazement, it was a smashing success, and from that time DeGrazia's reputation was insured and he stayed exclusively with Saunders. In addition to painting, he also did textile designs and traveled to New York for that venture but was unhappy being away from Arizona and the Indian subject matter that inspired him. A piece that brought him national renown was Los Ninos, the Christmas card he designed as a commission from UNICEF. Over five million boxes of cards were sold. Following this success, he had wide distribution of his work in many forms--prints, serigraphs, decals, collector plates, needlepoint, cards, books and even key chains. He also wrote several books on painting. For a man of humble beginnings, he became an artist with much financial rewards and personal satisfaction of doing what he wanted to do. In 1976, he protested for himself and for other artists who had achieved financial success by burning in the Superstition Mountains some of his paintings because of what he perceived as unfair inheritance tax on artists' estates. Ted De Grazia died September 17, 1982 at age 72. He is buried at the site of his Gallery of the Sun near an adobe chapel he had designed and had built to honor the Virgin of Guadalupe. He had also established a De Grazia Foundation to provide funding for exhibitions of his work at the Gallery.
Michael Schreck Blue Wildebeest Oil on Canvas
Lot #253 (Sale Order 253 of 1311)
9" by 12" unframed. From Decatur, Alabama, Michael Schreck is a painter of history, sporting, wildlife and portrait subjects with a specialty being scenes from the Civil War and early American frontier such as Custer's Last Stand, and Robert E. Lee with his horse, Traveler. Referring to himself as 'pretty diverse' and 'a historian too', Schreck also depicts many African animals. " 'Hunting and fishing are my inspiration, Schreck said, whether in Africa, the United States or Scotland. There's a self-portrait with a lion among other scenes featuring fly-fishing, canoeing and a decoy carver. And sometimes he adds a bit of nostalgia, such as a 1920s car." In 2000, his quail painting, A Close Call, became the image on the Quail Unlimited Stamp. Other recognition has been selections of his work for print reproduction by Ducks Unlimited and the Alabama Wildlife Federation. Schreck travels extensively throughout America and Africa as well as Europe and South America. He says that Africa, England and Scotland are his favorite places and wherever he goes, he immediately seeks out the animals. Resulting are paintings of wild boar, deer, pheasants, Alpine chamois, and buffaloes, especially The Cape Buffalo, "the most dangerous and vindictive animal in Africa". Michael Shreck is the son of jewelry and belt designer Ann Schreck, also of Decatur, so his influence from childhood was creativity. He credits his mother with much encouragement of his career. Obviously proud of her son, she said: "We realized Mike had a God-given talent when he was small. From the time he could hold a pencil, he was drawing, so we always saw to it that he had drawing and painting supplies." "She recalled his fascination as a child with a print of Custer's Last Stand in his uncle's home. 'Mike would sit and study that for hours, and I still have stacks of Custer's Last Stand drawings and paintings. He's been doing them since he was 5 years old, and he's still doing them."

Returning to San Francisco in 1890, he worked as a newspaper illustrator until 1901 when he moved to Los Angeles and spent 42 years as art director of the "Times". He also did many watercolor paintings of local subjects. Memberships included the California Art Club and the Cartoonist Club.
Thomas Hart Benton Artist Ted DeGrazia Studio Sign
Lot #255 (Sale Order 255 of 1311)
This was Thomas Hart Benton's personal hand painted studio sign. Benton had a space in Ted DeGrazia's studio and this hung above his area. It was gifted by Ted DeGrazia to Dick Flood in 1973. Quite a bunch of written provenance on the back side of the sign. 7.5" by 27.5". Thomas Hart Benton was born in Neosho, Missouri on April 15, 1889. Even as a boy, he was no stranger to the "art of the deal" or to the smoke-filled rooms in which such deals were often consummated. His grandfather had been Missouri's first United States Senator and served in Washington for thirty years. His father, Maecenas Benton, was United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri under Cleveland and served in the United States House of Representatives during the McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt administrations. Benton's brother, Nat, was prosecutor for Greene County, Missouri, during the 1930s. As soon as he could walk, Benton traveled with his father on political tours. There he learned the arts of chewing and smoking, and while the men were involved in their heated discussions, Benton delighted in finding new cream colored wallpaper on the staircase wall, at the age of six or seven, and drew in charcoal his first mural, a long multi-car freight train. As soon as he was eighteen, even though his father wanted him to study law, Benton left for Chicago where he studied at the Art Institute during the years 1907 and 1908. He continued his studies in Paris, where he learned delicious wickedness, aesthetic and otherwise. Once back home, he became the leader of the Regionalist School, the most theatrical and gifted of the 1930s muralists and as Harry Truman described him,"the best damned painter in America." Detractors said that Benton was "a fascist, a communist, a racist and a bigot"; the ingenious structure, powerful use of modeling and scale and the high-colored humanity of the murals and easel paintings are retort enough. He was a dark, active dynamo, only 5 ft., 3 1/2 in. tall. He was outspoken, open, charmingly profane; he had a great mane of hair and a face the texture of oak bark. He wore rumpled corduroy and flannel, and walked with the unsteady swagger of a sailor just ashore. He poured a salwart drink, chewed on small black cigars and spat in the fire. Benton was once described as the "churlish dean of regionalist art." If you listened to a variety of art authorities, you would find them equally divided between Harry Truman's assessment of Benton as "the best damned painter in America" and Hilton Kramer who proclaimed Benton "a failed artist." The East Coast art establishment tended to regard Benton as memorable for one reason only: he was the teacher of Jackson Pollock. Benton was married in 1922 to Rita, a gregarious Italian lady, and they had a daughter and a son. At the height of his fame in the 1940s, Benton bungled the buy-out he was offered by Walt Disney and went his own way, completing his last mural in 1975 in acrylics the year of his death. He died in 1975.

Charles Wysocki, a first generation American of Polish heritage, was born in Detroit in 1928. He describes the early years in Detroit as "tough times" and says, "I didn't have a perfect childhood. Nobody does because it's not a perfect world. I did have a wonderful childhood because I made it a wonderful world." The community that Charles grew up in consisted mostly of immigrants who took great pride and pleasure in celebrating the traditions of their new homeland. These joyous opportunities and celebrations offered by American freedom became the theme of what Charles would remember and portray in his artwork. Wysocki's father wanted Charles to become a mathematician. Charles graduated from Technical High School in 1946. He enlisted in the Army and did duty as a sign painter. In 1954, Wysocki enrolled through the GI Bill, at The Art Center School of Design in Los Angeles. He began a career as a commercial artist in Detroit. He soon abandoned it for the more independent life of freelancing. Returning to California, he married and established his home there. When Wysocki was a commercial artist, he longed for a more creative outlet. In 1960, on a family vacation to New England, his wife, Elizabeth, urged him to pursue a career in fine art. With his wife's steady encouragement Wysocki started painting. He took some of his work to a gallery and was offered a one-man show. Within a month, all of the 40 paintings sold. Wysocki has been designing and painting an award winning annual Americana calendar since 1971. He contributed his painting. The White House Fourth of July Picnic, to the presidential art collection in 1983 during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. In 1987, he was awarded the Medal of Honor from The Daughters of the American Revolution for artwork that "exemplifies our heritage and for the values that have made our country strong." The Richard Nixon Library's exhibit of Wysocki's work in 1991 drew thousands of visitors. Included in this display was his commissioned piece, "The Young Nixons, and his open edition print, Home Sweet Home. US Art has named Charles Wysocki one of the ten most influential artists since he first entered the print market in 1979 (March, 1999). US Art also named him, Master Artist, (January, 1999) and was placed amongst America's Top 25 Best-Selling Artists by Decor, June, 2002. Charles Wysocki passed away July 29th, 2002.

He is a member of the Northwest Rendezvous Group, and is the first Montana artist since Charlie Russell to exhibit at Grand Central Art Galleries* in New York City. Aspevig was born in Rudyard, Montana, and raised on a small working wheat farm near the Canadian border. He became mindful of people's reliance upon the land, although he left the farm to attend Eastern Montana College in Billings. However, he dropped out to spend the winter in the Bear Paw Mountains and then returned for a degree in art education. He taught for one year in Sandy Oregon High School and then went back to Montana with his wife, artist Carol Guzman, to paint full time. From 1988, the couple has lived in Loveland, Colorado where he remodeled an historic church for his studio. Aspevig travels widely to paint, choosing landscape subjects in the Southwest and the West including along the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers, and in foreign places such as England, Italy and the Caribbean. Of his feelings about nature, he says: "Paintings are a spiritual communion with nature which results in my celebration of life. Toward this end, I yearn for country that has not been tainted by subdivision, power poles, billboards, and water slides. I choose to paint my pictures as if I, or the viewer, were the first person to set foot upon the landscape". (Hagerty 20)

Ace Powell Plaster Bear Sculpture Montana
Lot #353 (Sale Order 353 of 1311)
Neat little plaster study or sculpture. Signed by Ace Powell as shown. 2.75" tall. Born in Tularosa, New Mexico, Ace Powell became a painter of western action scenes, wild animals, and Indian figures in realistic style and in the tradition of Charles Russell. Powell's trademark signature on his paintings is the ace of diamonds, which also became his nickname. He was prolific, creating between 12,000 and 15,000 paintings and sculptures. He considered oil to be his best medium although he loved sculpting in terra cotta, stone, and wood. He also was skilled at etching. His life has involved many changes of location and personal circumstance, much of it due to his alcoholism, which he eventually overcame. Eventually he settled in Kalispell. He moved to Montana at age one month. His mother was a schoolteacher, and his father was a cowboy foreman on the Ben Steven's horse ranch, then a homesteader, and eventually a worker for the Glacier National Park Service. Charlie Russell' s summer home was near the Powell home, and the Russells were family friends and encouraged Asa, nicknamed "Ace" in his artistic talent. He loved the Blackfeet Indians so much his father sent him to school on their reservation, and these people became one of his most frequent subjects. He also worked on the Bar X Six Ranch where he was a saddle-horse guide for many visiting successful western artists. He built a studio in Choteau, Montana and from there worked as a wood animal sculptor and also did book illustrations. After his first wife died when he was 29, he was briefly in the Army, worked in a defense plant, and was in the plastic figurine business in Yakima, Washington, but his partner ran off with his second wife, obviously terminating their business arrangement. He returned to Glacier Park for six years with his young son and then at age 40 enrolled in the University of Montana on the G.I. Bill. But he disliked the abstract art being promoted, so he quit and took the Famous Artists correspondence course, which really helped him down the path that established his art career. In 1952, he married artist Nancy McLaughlin, and in Hungry Horse, Montana they successfully operated a gallery, but it burned to the ground in 1964. They divorced, and in 1965, he married Thelma Conner.

Harvey Rattey Bronze Indian Drummer
Lot #359 (Sale Order 359 of 1311)
5" tall including base. Edition of 10. HARVEY RATTEY – is a Native American enrolled tribal member of the Little Shell Band of the Chippewa. He and his three sisters and a brother were raised on a cattle ranch bordering the Assiniboine reservation near Harlem, MT. During the past 35 years, his love of the cowboy and of wildlife has inspired him to sculpt both subjects with "wild and wooly" action and empathy. However, his greatest interest lies in portraying the Indian people he has known and their way of life spanning the time of the last nomadic Indians to contemporary Indian people in the mainstream of modern society. Harvey has chosen to portray his ancestors and the people he knows in a representational art form foregoing the growing trend toward abstraction. Harvey has chosen to portray his ancestors and the people he knows in a representational art form foregoing the growing trend toward abstraction. "The images of my people," he says with conviction “are clear and realistic mental scenes. I feel it’s important to depict these images authentically in my work. My sculptures capture the essence of moments from history for viewers to enjoy and ponder." He resides in Glendive, MT with his wife Pamela Harr, also a sculptor, and their 6 children.

Charles M Russell Lion and Trapper Bronze
Lot #364 (Sale Order 364 of 1311)
16" tall, 10" long, 4" wide. Charles M. Russell, the nostalgic, held tight memories of a youthful past when the West belonged to God. There was a sense of loss, as poignant as losing a loved one. The specter of what this loss meant loomed over Russell the rest of his life. He was the quintessential nostalgic who grabbed history and married it to idealized memory and imagination. For example, despite Russell never witnessing a buffalo hunt, it became the basis for his most popular and desired art. Nancy Russell explained, "No man can be a painter without imagination." The Romantic art of the nineteenth century was the cornerstone to build the West reimagined for not only Russell, but also his contemporaries and future artists. No Western American artist fought back harder against racism, sexism, and championed environmentalism more than did Charles M. Russell. He thrived on imagining a time when the land was pristine, women were held in high regard, and people of color were the heroes. Paradoxically, the industrialized world championed just the opposite. To many, his life appeared odd—that cowboy hat, that sash, that unruly hair, that folksy talk. He and his art embraced an identity of an exile from a different place and time, which is even more appealing today. In that way, Russell was a visionary who instilled hope in all who saw his art, and his heart. For those reasons and much more, he is the most beloved of all the Western American artists. The Charles M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana; the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West at the University of Oklahoma in Norman; the Charles M. Russell Center Series on Art and Photography of the American West (books published by the University of Oklahoma University Press); the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge in Montana; the Russell Riders; and the Russell Skull Society are a testament to that fact. The Cowboy Artists of America have been called "The Sons of Charlie Russell", by art historian B. Byron Price for good reason. Russell was a legendary painter, sculptor, and author. Ever humble and self-effacing, as his fame skyrocketed, he never forgot his cowboy friends. The importance of his life and works is that no one has inspired more new generations of artists. Russell lived in the past and his wife Nancy who was his business manager lived for the future. How could a self-trained artist living in remote Montana become the highest paid artist in America? It’s quite a story. Charles Marion Russell was born on March 19, 1864 in St. Louis, Missouri, a bustling gateway to the West of some 200,000 people. Family history and adventure stories such as the Leatherstocking Tales by James Fenimore Cooper lured Russell to the West. On a crisp March day in 1880 Charles M. Russell jumped off the stagecoach in Helena, Montana Territory and took his turn as the latest easterner seeking western adventure. Accompanying him was Willis L.W. “Pike" Miller, a family acquaintance who acted as Russell’s guardian and gave him his first job in Montana on a sheep ranch Miller owned in the Judith Basin. While Miller was kind enough to chaperone Russell, they soon parted ways because Russell wanted nothing to do with sheepherding. For twelve years Russell and his horse Monte were together on the open range mainly nighthawking—somewhat of a lowly cowboy job of watching the horses overnight while the rest of the cowboys slept—until 1893 when Russell began transitioning from cowboy artist to full-time artist. Only a teenager, Russell was younger than most cowboys who were usually in their early twenties but shared with them the qualities of being gregarious, humble, energetic and adventuresome. Charlie saw the cowboy as the last frontiersman—unlike the colorless overburdened farmer and sheep herder. The period from 1906 to 1910 was one of the most productive and enjoyable times of Charlie’s life, which in no small part was due to the summers at Bull Head Lodge and the mentoring by others such as Philip R. Goodwin who visited him there in 1907 and 1910. Glacier National Park has the type of views that keep postcard publishers in business. The mountains fanned the flames of Charlie Russell’s creative genius. He understood that the mountains don’t need us, we need the mountains. Charlie’s favorite place in the world was the lodge, a log structure nestled among the cedar, fir, and tamarack along the shoreline of beautiful Lake McDonald. The years from 1911 to 1915 were a time of artistic achievement by Russell and promotion by Nancy who was as skilled as any field general with her well planned exhibitions in America, Canada, and England. It would be a grueling pace for the duo, but one that would yield a bountiful harvest of financial and critical success. The cowboy artist was “The West That Had Passed" in solid and photogenic form: strong, handsome, romantic, principled, loyal, productive and real. Nancy’s strategy was
Gouache on paper. 3.5" by 4.5" framed. 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.

Bob Scriver Lola's Otter Bronze Montana
Lot #372 (Sale Order 372 of 1311)
Nice bronze. 57/250. Portrays Lola's Otter. Done by Bob Scriver. Measures 5.75" tall. Robert "Bob" Macfie Scriver (1914–1999) was a Montana sculptor who was born on the Blackfeet reservation of Anglophone Quebec parents. Scriver was a scholar of Blackfoot Indian culture and history who knew and associated with Blackfoot historian James Willard Schultz in the earlier part of his life. He specialized in western subjects, but it is more accurate to associate him with the American Beaux Arts-educated sculptors who became prominent at the turn of the 19th century. His first efforts were small inexpensive souvenir wildlife figurines cast in plaster and air-brushed in natural colors. A parallel career in taxidermy and a fondness for hunting supported the increasingly accurate portrayals of these animals. Nice piece of work, you really otter buy it.

"On the Move". 30.25" by 36.25" 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 mother's 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 whatever 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.

Bill Reid Haida Dog Salmon Print
Lot #461 (Sale Order 461 of 1311)
Nice print. Artist is Bill Reid. Bill Reid (1920-1998) was an acclaimed master goldsmith, carver, sculptor, writer, broadcaster, mentor and community activist. Reid was born in Victoria, BC to a Haida mother and an American father with Scottish German roots, and only began exploring his Haida roots at the age of 23. This journey of discovery lasted a lifetime and shaped Reid's artistic career. Reid became a pivotal force in building bridges between Indigenous people and other peoples. Through his mother, he was a member of the Raven clan from T'aanuu with the wolf as one of his family crests. Raven is known as a mischievous trickster, who also plays an important part in transforming the world. Many of these traits matched Bill Reid's personality. In 1986, Reid was presented with the Haida name Yaahl Sgwansung, meaning The Only Raven.

Reggie Reginald Sidney Weston Oil on Board
Lot #466 (Sale Order 466 of 1311)
Painting Very nice Abstract Cubist painting. Oil on Board. 8.25" by 10.5". Reginald Weston was born in London (1909 d. Paris 1967). He moved at the age of six to Egypt. He visited Paris for the first time at the age of seventeen but the stay was short and he left to live in Palestine in 1936 becoming a journalist and a founding editor of the Jerusalem Post. Weston had already begun to paint and his exhibition at the Schlosser Gallery in Jerusalem in 1939 was a landmark event as the first exhibition of local abstract art in what was then Palestine firmly inscribing him in the avant-garde. Shortly afterward he took a post teaching at the Bezalel Art School where he remained until deciding to move himself wife and two children to Paris where he took up the life of a full-time artist in the cauldron of creativity that was Montparnasse in the late 1940's & 1950's. His success was immediate with an exhibition at the Dina Vierny Gallery in 1948. During the 1950's while maintaining ties with Israel Weston also exhibited internationally in London New York Brussels and Tel-Aviv. In 1955 Weston took a major commission painting large format murals on panels for the Israeli shipping company Z.I.M. and the Elie de Rothschild Foundation. The works were on paper but set onto Formica panels and required the use of factories for fabrication. This was a departure from Weston's normal small format style of working usually on paper. Following his passing in 1967 Weston's wife Miriam made his former studio in Tel-Aviv available as a creative arts center for young talent and disabled artists and a number of exhibitions were held there in what was known as "the Atelier Reggie Weston" from 1972 - 1994. He left a wife and two children one of whom Michael is also a painter living in Paris and Brittany and has had four solo exhibitions at Annandale Galleries. Reginald Weston had 17 exhibitions from 1939 - 1964. He was offered a beach property by the government in recognition of his service to the arts in Israel. Notable exhibitions include Schlosser Gallery Jerusalem (1939) Galerie Dina Vierny Paris (1948) Redfern Gallery London (1950-1960) Galerie Georges Giroux Brussels (1958) F.A.R. Gallery New York (1960) a major retrospective at the Tel-Aviv Museum of Modern Art (1963) and the Helena Rubinstein pavilion Tel-Aviv (1963-4). Notable museum collections include Museum of Israel Jerusalem Museum of Modern Art Tel-Aviv and the Museum of Modern Art New York. His work is in numerous private collections in France USA and Israel including the Baron Elie de Rothschild and the famous violinist Isaac Stern.

Haskell Institute Lawrence Kansas Cabinet Photo
Lot #474 (Sale Order 474 of 1311)
7" by 9". Haskell Institute was one of the off-reservation boarding schools modeled after Carlisle. It was established in 1884 in Lawrence, Kansas, as the United States Indian Industrial Training School, but in 1887, the name was changed to Haskell Institute after Dudley Haskell, a U.S. Representative from Kansas, who was responsible for having the school located in Lawrence. The boys received the same military structured education as at Carlisle along with trades like blacksmithing, harness making, and farming. The trade education also served the former students in the military, as many became blacksmiths on Navy ships. To date, about 400 students who attended Haskell have been identified as serving in the U.S. military during World War I. Haskell, like Carlisle, was also proud of its students for their service. The war news was reported regularly in the weekly school publication The Indian Leader. The weekly issues were usually four or eight pages long, while the monthly issue could be twenty-four pages or longer. Each weekly issue had a recurring column titled "History in the Making," which featured a daily timeline of happenings during the war. It was geared toward educators interested in teaching current events. Other columns included reports from other Indian boarding schools like Hampton Institute in Virginia and Chemawa in Oregon. Under "Notes of Interest, news of Haskell’s former students would be printed like this notice from the December 7, 1917 issue: “William Murdock and LaFront King have enlisted in the Radio Service, but will remain at Haskell until they are called to the colors. Haskell Institute began offering high school classes in 1927, and became Haskell Indian Junior College in 1967. In 1993, the school evolved once again to become Haskell Indian Nations University as it remains today.

Bronco Buster Frederic Remington Bronze
Lot #580 (Sale Order 580 of 1311)
Very nice large example. 22.5" tall. Base is 17.25" long by 9.5" wide. In his lifetime polymath Frederic Remington was the most successful and famous Western American artist. His immense talents included excelling as an illustrator, author, sculptor, and fine artist. His was a life tragically cut short. Born on October 4, 1861 in Canton, a small berg in bucolic upper state New York, he was much influenced by his father Seth Pierpont Remington, a Republican journalist who founded the St. Lawrence Plaindealer. His father had been a captain in the Civil War, and in 1870 President Ulysses S. Grant appointed him United States Collector of the Port of Ogdensburg, New York. In 1876 young Frederic enrolled at Highland Military Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts where he studied for the next two years. Two years later he enrolled at Yale for one year to study in the School of Fine Arts. His two loves were art and football. Only three months into school, he published his first illustration in the on-campus newspaper Yale Courant. On the gridiron he was a natural, demonstrating great strength and agility. Like Theodore Roosevelt, Remington also enjoyed boxing. A year later he met his future wife Eva Caten from Gloversville, New York. After the death of Remington’s father from tuberculosis on February 18, 1879, Eva rejected his first marriage proposal. Floundering, Remington headed to the American West to find himself—much like Theodore Roosevelt did when his mother and wife died on the same day. That led to a trip to Montana where he completed a number of sketches. Invigorated by his Western experiences, in February 1883 he headed to Kansas and with part of his inheritance bought a 160 acre sheep ranch near Peabody, Kansas. That failed adventure lasted about a year, and he then relocated to Kansas City, Missouri where Eva would join him as his wife. Yet he squandered the rest of his inheritance on a saloon there. After more illustrations were sold to Harper’s Weekly, in 1885 the Remingtons moved to New York City, and in 1886 he attended the Art Students League. By then Remington was earning $1,200 a year, twice the income of a school teacher. Other magazines such as St. Nicholas and Outing also published his art. His work certainly impressed a young Theodore Roosevelt who was chronicling his life in Medora—now in North Dakota—for a serial that ran in The Century Magazine. It was very common at the time for authors to serialize their works in magazines before they were published in book form. In the fall of 1887 Remington was commissioned to illustrate the magazine stories which ended up in Roosevelt’s 1888 classic book Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail. Early on, a lasting friendship between the two was cemented through these publications. By 1889 he had garnered national notoriety as one of the most accomplished illustrators in the country. He was a national celebrity. In 1889 his monumental canvas A Dash for the Timber was exhibited at the National Academy of Design. The New York Times reported, "The picture at the Autumn exhibition of the Academy of Design before which stands the largest number of people is Frederic Remington’s Dash for the Timber." A Silver medal for Last Lull in the Fight followed at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1891 the National Academy of Design elected Remington as an Associate member. Yet he was never admitted as National Academician, despite support from fellow artists Gilbert Gaul, Childe Hassam, and others. His financial success allowed the Remingtons to move into a grand home he named Ednion Algonquin for "a place where I live in New Rochelle, New York. A young Norman Rockwell would someday paint in his studio. Through his travels, Remington embraced social Darwinism survival of the fittest that championed the U.S. military’s domination of the inferior Native Americans. Theodore Roosevelt, George Armstrong Custer, and Remington along with most other Americans—idolized Charles Darwin. As early as 1888 Remington started contributing short stories along with illustrations to magazines. His writings teemed with romantic Western stories chalk full of drama and violence. Initially, they presented the cavalryman as the hero and the Indian as the villain, especially when the Indian had been tainted with the vices of the white man. His West was the “frontier model where the fittest were rugged individuals from northern Europe and white Americans. Even though he was an accomplished author and painter, perhaps his greatest talent was as a sculptor. His bronzes are more famous and collectible than any other Western American artist. And yet his bronze repertoire was completed in just fourteen years. Starting in order of modeling, they are: The Broncho Buster, The Wounded Bunkie, The Wicked Pony, The Scalp, The Norther, The Cheyenne, The Buffalo Signal, Coming Through the Rye, The Mountain Man, The Sergeant, Paleolithic Man, Savage, Polo, The Rattlesnake, Dragoons 1850, T

Very nice bowl. Made by Verlys. 13" diameter. Art Glass made by Verlys whose parent company name was Halophane Glass Works. The shape is a Centerpiece Bowl and the pattern is "Gannets Diving for Fish". You can clearly see that this is a Rene Lalique inspired design. The Bowl depicts three open wing birds in flight with 2 Fish swimming below. These birds are similar in appearance to Gannets or DFiving Birds. These Birds are great divers but very clumsy landers . The outside of the bowl has a frosted acid etching with some of the high relief areas having a hand polished finish to clear to give it a three dimensional effect. The Birds and Fish are all done in raised relief along with some swirl marks to give the piece simulated movement in the design. The three birds bellies serve as feet to this lovely bowl as they are the high points. These are set on a Clear base color. The inside of the bowl has a clear smooth finish with the exterior having the frosted effect. In 1920, the Societe Holophane Français was set up as a subsidiary of the USA Holophane Company in a glass-works near Rouen in Northern France to make vehicle headlights. By 1925, they had expanded into making art glass vases and bowls. They created a separate department for these products, and named it "Verlys". Initially the pieces were blown vessels with several layers of glass, smooth on the outside with internal decoration. From 1933 onward, Verlys focused on high quality press-mould glass. They produced clear, frosted, opalescent and colored items with designs typical of Lalique-style glass of the 1930s. In 1935, they established "Verlys of America" in Newark, Ohio. Moulds were supplied from France for the Ohio works. Many of the same items were simultaneously made in France and the USA. Production in both France and the USA declined during WWII, as the company increasingly focused on industrial products. The Verlys art glass was progressively abandoned in both countries from 1940 until it ceased altogether circa 1951-52.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi Japanese Woodblock Print
Lot #1082 (Sale Order 1082 of 1311)
"A Children's Writing Contest", circa 1844 15" x20" framed. Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861) The son of silk dyer, Kuniyoshi Utagawa was born into the Igusa family in Edo. Little is known about his very early years, though he is said to have shown remarkable talent from a young age. Kuniyoshi began his ukiyo-e career as a pupil of Shunei. At age 14 he was accepted to study the art of woodblock printing under Toyokuni I and, in time, would become one of his most successful students. In 1814, he left Toyokuni’s studio to pursue a career as an independent ukiyo-e artist. Initially, he had little success, selling tatami mats in order to support himself. However, his fortunes changed in 1827 with his dramatic series 108 Heroes of the Suikoden. From that point forward, the public hungered for his portrayals of famous samurai and legendary heroes. Kuniyoshi Utagawa worked across all genres, producing some brilliant landscapes and charming bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). He died in the spring of 1861 from complications of a stroke.

Antique Pressler Hawaiian Hula Girl Dancing Print
Lot #1089 (Sale Order 1089 of 1311)
Gene Pressler. Very nice old print. Beautiful colors. Very scarce. 10" by 25". Pressler was a popular American illustrator of the 1920s who worked in the style of Maxfield Parrish, sharing that artist’s penchant for ultra-saturated hues and idealized feminine beauty. His work is often associated with the Pompeian Company of Cleveland, Ohio, which manufactured a popular line of massage creams and "skin food." Pompeian’s success was in large measure due to its attractive packaging and generous amounts of advertising, for which Pressler provided a signature look. He also produced calendars and lithographic illustrations that were backed with ads and fitted with polychrome Art Deco frames. Pressler’s lithos of hula girls show his technique of lighting a subject with a warm glow that seems to come from firelight. His narrow prints were called "yard longs," a popular format in the 1910s and 20s. They measured about 24" x 7" and often featured cinema stars and other fashionable women in exotic settings.
