lee, the carrot eater, 2009 acrylic on canvas, no1 visible signature on front, good condition, canvas size: 16 x 20 inches. lee becker is a studio artist working in oil, watercolor and printmaking. among the many themes of her large- and small-scale works are genetically endangered farm animal breeds, the kansas landscape and skies, portraits and the human figure, swedish heritage, birds (anything winged, in fact), and plays on words. she is a six-time winner in the kansas artists postcard series. her work has received more than 35 solo shows and been part of 65 group, invitational and juried exhibitions -- many in the midwest. she has commissioned works to her credit. before shifting to a full-time studio art career, becker taught art in kansas for 25 years -- privately, for arts organizations, and at all levels of formal education.she earned her mfa from fort hays state university in 1999 and a bachelor's degree in art and art education in 1976 from bethany college in lindsborg. becker was reared in mcpherson, south of lindsborg, and lived there as a spouse and mother of three boys in her young adult years. in the early 1970s, she began her art studies as an nontraditional student at bethany college and moved to lindsborg. after graduation, becker worked as a studio artist and began regularly exhibiting her work. sher undertook brief stints of teaching.in the years between earning her bachelor's and mfa, becker continued special studies --- in sculpture at bethany college and in watercolor with keith crown, professor emeritus of art at the university of southern california. while pursuing her master's degree at fort hays state, becker concentrated on printmaking under the tutelage of the respected printmaker frank nichols, professor emeritus of art at fort hays state.becker is known for her \"smoky valley angels\" series of linoleum cuts, launched in 1999. in each, a mythical winged creature plays a music instrument while hovering over a smoky valley scene, ranging from the old mill to local festivals. to make the \"smoky valley angels\" and her other linoleum cuts, becker uses a thick, flexible art linoleum once manufactured for use in battleships. thick-handled wood-carving tools help her control the cuts. after coating the uncut portions of the linoleum with a specially mixed ink, becker uses a table-mounted etching press to transfer the ink pattern to paper.\"each piece of linoleum will produce about 20 prints, \" she said. \"then i color each print by hand. after some experimentation, i found that highly concentrated pigments usually used with air brushes create the best effect. on these particular prints, i like the more intense color.\"in her work with oils, becker is pursuing a series of paintings of \"rare breeds\" -- farm animals that are genetically endangered by contemporary agriculture's pressure for extreme growth and mechanized food processing. once staples of the farm, these beautiful animals are now found only among special breeding associations, if at all. this interest has also led to experiments with pieces involving wild animals. her approach will be to concentrate on the animal form rather than the anthropomorphic tendency to sentimentalize these creatures. a true adventurer at heart, becker's work shows wide ranging interests -- including her semi-dangerous storm chasing. she often sketches atop coronado heights north of lindsborg or in a field until the last minute before a storm rolls in.travel is a passion, and becker still incorporates cultural symbols of india after having participated in a rotary international trip there in the 1980s.sketching is breathing to becker. at most lindsborg music and vocal performances, you'll see her near the front of the house, pen dancing on pad. she often gives her work to the performers.meanwhile, commissioned work has been as challenging as anything becker could invent for herself. she recently finished a mural in a san francisco house that features people of different ethnicities taking part in a wedding feast at a swedish country house. \"the human form always has been something i've never tired of studying, \" becker said. \"it's a challenge to get facial structures just right.\"becker lives in lindsborg with alan harlock and their menagerie of pets. \n condition: good condition \n dimensions: 20 x 24 x 1.5

of nine. many of the boys in his school were also learning to carve, all of them inspired by the swedish woodcarver d&ouml;derhultarn. anton attended a technical school at the university of lund because his father wanted him to be an engineer. anton was more interested in the arts.it is unclear at this time why anton decided to travel to america. his family suspects his adventurous personality played a part in the decision. whatever the reason, he tried to book passage on the rms titanic, but the ship was sold out.anton arrived in america in may 1912, just a few days before his twentieth birthday. he settled in chicago for a time.in 1915, after visiting the world's fair in san francisco, anton decided to make a stop in a little town called lindsborg, kansas, a stop that would change the course of his life. anton enrolled in bethany college to study fine arts under his friend and mentor birger sandzen. by december 1918, he was exhibiting paintings at art shows locally and in surrounding areas.anton in lindsborg supported himself during these years by being a field agent for the capper publishing company as well as selling wearever aluminum kitchen utensils and as an \"oil man\" working for an oil company securing land owners contracts to drill on their property.during his bethany college years, anton met a quietly delightful piano student named grace lane. she was a direct descendant of the pilgrim william brewster. their courtship was a long one, as anton had many adventures he wanted to experience.in 1922, anton took a four-month sojourn traveling by horse and wagon, homemade houseboat, car and rail over 3,600 miles to travel the us and get inspiration for his art. he returned with nearly 200 paintings. anton sent grace many letters during this trip.anton's friendship with birger sandzen was a rewarding one. sandzen was not only anton's teacher and mentor, but a friend as well. many saturdays would find the two driving around in a model t ford from sunup to sundown seeking interesting scenes to sketch for paintings.after many adventures, anton married grace lane in 1929. anton and grace honeymooned in colorado. their daughter rosemary was born in 1933.anton and grace built their home in lindsborg in 1929. anton collected many interesting things during his travels: rocks, antiques, discarded building materials. anton enjoyed finding treasures and repurposing them for his home and studio. anton would later build a garage in the rear that eventually became his woodcarving studio.anton served his adopted country in wwi. he was stationed at camp cody, nm. he worked for the aircraft industry in wichita, ks during wwii. after the war, he continued to carve and amassed quite a collection of wonderful carvings. he opened his studio to tourists and visiting school groups. he went to schools and spoke about carving and the arts.in his studio, anton indulged in his childhood passion: woodcarving. he continued to paint as well, but the majority of his time was spent carving.anton's pioneer figures were mostly carved from redwood, catalpa, mahogany, cottonwood and even limestone. he did many other creative carvings, from funny figures to large animals. anton admired the pioneers of lindsborg. he listened intently to their stories and they influenced his carvings. they show swedish pioneers at work and at play, living their daily lives.anton said he created the characters he carved by closing his eyes and envisioning them. it's been suggested that perhaps lindsborg residents crept into his mind, as many of his carvings certainly resembled lindsborgians he encountered.anton passed away at the veteran's hospital in kansas city, mo in 1967. he left behind a legacy of expressive wood carvings as well as a son-in-law and grandson who would continue to work in his studio and keep it open to the public for the next 30 years. sadly, anton pearson\u2019s studio is no longer a working studio or open to the

was born on september 10, 1930, in nashville, kansas. kahmeyer taught ceramics for 25 years at bethany college (1967-92), heading the art department after his first two years and then earning the endowed position of the mary j. mingenback distinguished professor of art in 1973.kahmeyer graduated from pratt high school in 1948, and for some years worked as a butcher and did renovation projects for homes in the pratt and great bend area along with woodworking with his father. after a stint in the us navy during the korean war, ray returned home and decided to use the g.i. bill and his construction skills to become an architect.settling in manhattan at kansas state university, kahmeyer discovered his life work by chance, taking a ceramics course as an art elective and immediately \u201cgot bit\u201d by the clay bug, as his sister joy davis described in 2016. kahmeyer earned both his bachelor\u2019s degree and master of arts from k-state, finishing a thesis on the raku method of ceramic firing and glazing to graduate in 1967. the bulk of kahmeyer\u2019s work is wheel-thrown, high-fired stoneware, suitable for domestic use.his friendships with important american ceramists warren mackenzie (1924- 2018) and paul soldner (1921-2011), with their own crucial influences of england\u2019s bernard leach (1887-1979) and japan\u2019s shoji hamada (1894- 1978), continued to inform his work in functional pottery throughout his career.kahmeyer exhibited his pots widely throughout his career, showing in a variety of regional exhibitions each year and occasionally sending work further afield to other states across the country. he earned numerous purchase awards and his work appears in a host of museum and private collections. the professor was also invited often to other colleges and high schools to present lectures, demonstrations, and workshops.kahmeyer taught ceramics at bethany for two and a half decades, imparting hard science lessons in the chemistry of glaze mixing and the physics of materials under forces of motion and heat, but gave all his students much more than a typical college education. the ceramics professor retired in 1992 but continued to work in his home studio \u2013 a re-constructed chicken barn rebuilt with salvaged materials, including a plethora of old windows that provided good lighting.kahmeyer and a few other lindsborg artists

julian robles has been living and painting in taos, new mexico, since 1968. he is dedicated to recording the ceremonials of the new mexico and arizona indians before their valued rituals are lost. \"i find it exciting to capture the life and color of an indian ritual, \" he declares. \"it's exhilarating to paint the air around the bronze head of a pueblo indian.\"his artist mother recognized the seeds of robles' talent and focus when he was a young child. robles became an avid student of art at his high school in jersey city, new jersey, and went on to study at the pratt institute in new york city, eventually serving as a technical illustrator in the u.s. air force from 1953 to 1958. posts in cheyenne, wyoming, and amarillo, texas, allowed julian to take frequent painting trips to new mexico, prompting his eventual relocation to the area. after military service, robles remained in amarillo to teach and to paint portraits until 1961 when he returned to new york city to work as a commercial artist. he attended classes at the arts student league and the national academy of design in new york until his final move to taos where he was a founding member of the taos six, along with rod goebel, walt gonske, ray vinella, robert daughters, and ron barsano.like the taos founders before him, robles finds a magical quality in the southwest landscape with its striking contrast of desert and mountains and the variety of clouds against perfect blue skies. as robles says, \"the combination of all these elements make living and painting in northern new mexico next to high drama for the painter.\"at some indian ceremonials, photography and sketching are not permitted so robles memorizes the details and sketches them in his studio, where he has a collection of artifacts. to compose the details for a painting, he re-creates the ritual as if he were actually a participant. in a way, his approach is the same as an actor's in making a role come alive. as a result of his first-hand experience and personalized involvement, his canvases glow with a warm, inviting light, and his colors are the vibrant purple, red, and turquoise of indian ceremonial costumes.julian robles has won numerous awards for his penetrating insights into the culture and beauty of the southwest, not only for his oil paintings but also for his pastels and woodblock prints. his honors include the gold medal of the webber-costello award for portrait painting at the national pastel society show, new york, in 1985, as well as many invitations and awards at invitational shows at the cowboy hall of fame in oklahoma city, oklahoma, and the national western artists show in lubbock, texas. robles continues to work at his studio in taos, but spends much of his time painting on location throughout

luigi (1900-1988) barn, 1955 etching, pencil signed in lower right, good condition, not examined out of frame, image size: 10 x 13 inches. born in malnate, italy, in 1900, luigi lucioni became one of america's well-known landscape painters, whose work has been noted for its heightened realism and photographic attention to detail.lucioni immigrated to the united states with his family in 1911. in 1915 he won a competition which allowed him to attend cooper union, and he began studying there with william starkweather.in 1920, he studied with william auerbach levy at the national academy of design, and in 1922 was the recipient of a tiffany foundation scholarship. the fellowship enabled him to go back to his homeland in 1924 to study italian primitives. he responded immediately to the realism of early renaissance painting, which left a lasting impression on his work.as he incorporated realism into his own work, lucioni's paintings became more meticulous. his crisp, somewhat flat pattern and detail have been likened to the microscopic approach of the fifteenth-century flemish masters. lucioni's attention to detail can also be traced to his early work as an etcher in 1922, when he mastered that technique which stresses sharp linear precision, a skill instrumental in developing his precise painting style.beginning in 1929, he spent part of each year in manchester depot township in vermont, where he painted still lifes and landscapes of the hills and barns. in the 1930s, while european modernism was gaining momentum in the united states, lucioni remained committed to realism. his painting long island landscape (oil on canvas, 1930) depicts a nation that has tamed its wilderness. the image shows a field that has been cultivated for decades, a deeply rutted road, and a tired fence; all depictions of a country in the midst of the depression.he later taught at the art students' league in new york, and maintained a studio in that city's picturesque washington square. he also had a longstanding love of the opera, and corresponded with various opera singers, including giovanni martinelli, gladys swarthout, cesara valletti, and others.he won many honors during his distinguished career. he took first prize in 1939 at the carnegie international exhibition for a portrait of ethel waters. his 1941 portrait of john la farge was voted best painting by visitors to the corcoran biennial in washington, d.c. lucioni was a member of the society of american etchers (brooklyn), and the allied art association.despite his lack of conscious effort toward the experimental or avant-garde, lucioni's work has always been popular. he spent his last years in union city, new jersey and died in 1988. \n condition: good condition, not examined our of frame \n

birger (1871-1954) trees and river, 1946 linoleum block, pencil signed in lower right, good condition, image size: 8.5 x 12 inches. birger sandzen had a long distinguished career as an art professor at bethany college in lindsborg, kansas and as an impressionist landscape painter. he is best known for his modernist style with masses of paint, akin to that of vincent van gogh and paul cezanne, and for rocky mountain landscape subjects. his early work is tonalist in style in the manner of scandinavian romanticism, but after he began taking trips to colorado, his work became much more expressionist and brightly colored.sven birger sandzen was born in blidsberg, sweden to clara elizabeth and johan peter sandzen. his mother had studied drawing and his father, a minister, enjoyed writing poetry and playing the violin. when birger's parents noticed his artistic inclination, they asked a young minister to give drawing lessons to the nine year old. at the age of ten, he attended the college and academy of skara. here his drawing and painting lessons continued under olof erlandsson, a graduate of the royal academy at stockholm. after graduation from skara college, sandzen spent a semester at lund university attending art history lectures and continuing the study of french. following lund university he went to the technical high school at stockholm, where he studied perspective and form drawing. sandzen joined a group of young artists and they rented a studio at anders zorn's suggestion. they received instruction from anders as well as richard bergh, a well-known portrait painter and per hasselberg, one of sweden's best sculptors. a doctor from the caroline medical institute of stockholm gave anatomy lessons. these young artists formed \"the art school of the artists' league\" which played an important part in the development of modern swedish art.in the summer of 1894 sandzen returned to sweden where he read the book entitled i sverige by a young swedish-american educator, dr. carl a. swensson. dr. swensson, a college president, told of his struggles on the plains of kansas and he challenged other young swedes to come help him. sandzen was excited by the proposition and wrote dr. swensson a letter asking if he could use a young artist who could sing tenor and teach french. as soon as sandzen received the cable offering him a job, he accepted and arrived in lindsborg, kansas the day college opened in the fall.birger soon realized lindborg was where he wanted to make his home with the inspiring atmosphere of the new college and energy of the young teachers and president. he built a home, where he continued to live for fifty-four years. in 1900 he married augusta alfrida leksell, a gifted pianist. they had one daughter, margaret elizabeth.with time sandzen became more and more involved in teaching, even his evenings were reserved for class time. at around nine or ten in the evening he would find time for his own drawing. sandzen's inspiration came from his summers spent in colorado, utah, and new mexico.sandzen spent his time trying to generate an interest in art by talking to people about art, organizing exhibitions and establishing art clubs. he donated artwork to the local art club to help raise money for the purchasing of art books for the library, the financing of exhibitions, and the occasional awarding of a scholarship.the babcock galleries in new york hosted two large exhibitions of sandzen's work in 1922 and 1923. his sponsors, the american-scandinavian foundation, enthusiastically invited him to come. sandzen's reply was that he had classes and could not leave.sandzen retired after fifty-two years of teaching at bethany college. sandzen had honorary doctorates bestowed upon him by midland college of fremont, nebraska by nebraska university, and by kansas state college. in 1940 he was made a knight if the swedish order of the north star.after many months of failing health,

birger (1871-1954) \"smoky river at sunset\" 1920 woodcut print, pencil signed in the lower left margin, good condition, some toning (artwork only viewed while framed), image size: 6 x 8 inches. sven birger sandz&eacute;n (1871-1954) birger sandzen had a long distinguished career as an art professor at bethany college in lindsborg, kansas and as an impressionist landscape painter. he is best known for his modernist style with masses of paint, akin to that of vincent van gogh and paul cezanne, and for rocky mountain landscape subjects. his early work is tonalist in style in the manner of scandinavian romanticism, but after he began taking trips to colorado, his work became much more expressionist and brightly colored.sven birger sandzen was born in blidsberg, sweden to clara elizabeth and johan peter sandzen. his mother had studied drawing and his father, a minister, enjoyed writing poetry and playing the violin. when birger's parents noticed his artistic inclination, they asked a young minister to give drawing lessons to the nine year old. at the age of ten, he attended the college and academy of skara. here his drawing and painting lessons continued under olof erlandsson, a graduate of the royal academy at stockholm. after graduation from skara college, sandzen spent a semester at lund university attending art history lectures and continuing the study of french. following lund university he went to the technical high school at stockholm, where he studied perspective and form drawing. sandzen joined a group of young artists and they rented a studio at anders zorn's suggestion. they received instruction from anders as well as richard bergh, a well-known portrait painter and per hasselberg, one of sweden's best sculptors. a doctor from the caroline medical institute of stockholm gave anatomy lessons. these young artists formed \"the art school of the artists' league\" which played an important part in the development of modern swedish art.in the summer of 1894 sandzen returned to sweden where he read the book entitled i sverige by a young swedish-american educator, dr. carl a. swensson. dr. swensson, a college president, told of his struggles on the plains of kansas and he challenged other young swedes to come help him. sandzen was excited by the proposition and wrote dr. swensson a letter asking if he could use a young artist who could sing tenor and teach french. as soon as sandzen received the cable offering him a job, he accepted and arrived in lindsborg, kansas the day college opened in the fall.birger soon realized lindborg was where he wanted to make his home with the inspiring atmosphere of the new college and energy of the young teachers and president. he built a home, where he continued to live for fifty-four years. in 1900 he married augusta alfrida leksell, a gifted pianist. they had one daughter, margaret elizabeth.with time sandzen became more and more involved in teaching, even his evenings were reserved for class time. at around nine or ten in the evening he would find time for his own drawing. sandzen's inspiration came from his summers spent in colorado, utah, and new mexico.sandzen spent his time trying to generate an interest in art by talking to people about art, organizing exhibitions and establishing art clubs. he donated artwork to the local art club to help raise money for the purchasing of art books for the library, the financing of exhibitions, and the occasional awarding of a scholarship.the babcock galleries in new york hosted two large exhibitions of sandzen's work in 1922 and 1923. his sponsors, the american-scandinavian foundation, enthusiastically invited him to come. sandzen's reply was that he had classes and could not leave.sandzen retired after fifty-two years of teaching at bethany college. sandzen had honorary doctorates bestowed upon him by midland college of fremont, nebraska by nebraska university, and by kansas state college. in 1940 he was made a knight if the swedish order of the north star.after many months of failing health, birger sandzen passed away quietly in his home on june 19, 1954. \n condition: good condition, some toning, not examined out

luigi (1900-1988) birch trees at edge of clearing, 1950-51 etching, pencil signed in lowerr right, good condition, not examined out of frame, image size: 9.25 x 14 inches. born in malnate, italy, in 1900, luigi lucioni became one of america's well-known landscape painters, whose work has been noted for its heightened realism and photographic attention to detail.lucioni immigrated to the united states with his family in 1911. in 1915 he won a competition which allowed him to attend cooper union, and he began studying there with william starkweather.in 1920, he studied with william auerbach levy at the national academy of design, and in 1922 was the recipient of a tiffany foundation scholarship. the fellowship enabled him to go back to his homeland in 1924 to study italian primitives. he responded immediately to the realism of early renaissance painting, which left a lasting impression on his work.as he incorporated realism into his own work, lucioni's paintings became more meticulous. his crisp, somewhat flat pattern and detail have been likened to the microscopic approach of the fifteenth-century flemish masters. lucioni's attention to detail can also be traced to his early work as an etcher in 1922, when he mastered that technique which stresses sharp linear precision, a skill instrumental in developing his precise painting style.beginning in 1929, he spent part of each year in manchester depot township in vermont, where he painted still lifes and landscapes of the hills and barns. in the 1930s, while european modernism was gaining momentum in the united states, lucioni remained committed to realism. his painting long island landscape (oil on canvas, 1930) depicts a nation that has tamed its wilderness. the image shows a field that has been cultivated for decades, a deeply rutted road, and a tired fence; all depictions of a country in the midst of the depression.he later taught at the art students' league in new york, and maintained a studio in that city's picturesque washington square. he also had a longstanding love of the opera, and corresponded with various opera singers, including giovanni martinelli, gladys swarthout, cesara valletti, and others.he won many honors during his distinguished career. he took first prize in 1939 at the carnegie international exhibition for a portrait of ethel waters. his 1941 portrait of john la farge was voted best painting by visitors to the corcoran biennial in washington, d.c. lucioni was a member of the society of american etchers (brooklyn), and the allied art association.despite his lack of

luigi (1900-1988) birch trees, 1947 etching, pencil signed in lower right, image size: 9.25 x 13.25 inches. born in malnate, italy, in 1900, luigi lucioni became one of america's well-known landscape painters, whose work has been noted for its heightened realism and photographic attention to detail.lucioni immigrated to the united states with his family in 1911. in 1915 he won a competition which allowed him to attend cooper union, and he began studying there with william starkweather.in 1920, he studied with william auerbach levy at the national academy of design, and in 1922 was the recipient of a tiffany foundation scholarship. the fellowship enabled him to go back to his homeland in 1924 to study italian primitives. he responded immediately to the realism of early renaissance painting, which left a lasting impression on his work.as he incorporated realism into his own work, lucioni's paintings became more meticulous. his crisp, somewhat flat pattern and detail have been likened to the microscopic approach of the fifteenth-century flemish masters. lucioni's attention to detail can also be traced to his early work as an etcher in 1922, when he mastered that technique which stresses sharp linear precision, a skill instrumental in developing his precise painting style.beginning in 1929, he spent part of each year in manchester depot township in vermont, where he painted still lifes and landscapes of the hills and barns. in the 1930s, while european modernism was gaining momentum in the united states, lucioni remained committed to realism. his painting long island landscape (oil on canvas, 1930) depicts a nation that has tamed its wilderness. the image shows a field that has been cultivated for decades, a deeply rutted road, and a tired fence; all depictions of a country in the midst of the depression.he later taught at the art students' league in new york, and maintained a studio in that city's picturesque washington square. he also had a longstanding love of the opera, and corresponded with various opera singers, including giovanni martinelli, gladys swarthout, cesara valletti, and others.he won many honors during his distinguished career. he took first prize in 1939 at the carnegie international exhibition for a portrait of ethel waters. his 1941 portrait of john la farge was voted best painting by visitors to the corcoran biennial in washington, d.c. lucioni was a member of the society of american etchers (brooklyn), and the allied art association.despite his lack of conscious effort toward the experimental or avant-garde, lucioni's work has always been popular. he spent his last years in union city, new jersey and died in 1988. \n condition: good condition, not examined our of frame \n dimensions: 19.75 x

birger (1871-1954) \"abandoned mill, colo\" 1918 lithograph, pencil signed in lower left, good condition (artwork only viewed while framed), image size: 15 x 20 inches. birger sandzen had a long distinguished career as an art professor at bethany college in lindsborg, kansas and as an impressionist landscape painter. he is best known for his modernist style with masses of paint, akin to that of vincent van gogh and paul cezanne, and for rocky mountain landscape subjects. his early work is tonalist in style in the manner of scandinavian romanticism, but after he began taking trips to colorado, his work became much more expressionist and brightly colored.sven birger sandzen was born in blidsberg, sweden to clara elizabeth and johan peter sandzen. his mother had studied drawing and his father, a minister, enjoyed writing poetry and playing the violin. when birger's parents noticed his artistic inclination, they asked a young minister to give drawing lessons to the nine year old. at the age of ten, he attended the college and academy of skara. here his drawing and painting lessons continued under olof erlandsson, a graduate of the royal academy at stockholm. after graduation from skara college, sandzen spent a semester at lund university attending art history lectures and continuing the study of french. following lund university he went to the technical high school at stockholm, where he studied perspective and form drawing. sandzen joined a group of young artists and they rented a studio at anders zorn's suggestion. they received instruction from anders as well as richard bergh, a well-known portrait painter and per hasselberg, one of sweden's best sculptors. a doctor from the caroline medical institute of stockholm gave anatomy lessons. these young artists formed \"the art school of the artists' league\" which played an important part in the development of modern swedish art.in the summer of 1894 sandzen returned to sweden where he read the book entitled i sverige by a young swedish-american educator, dr. carl a. swensson. dr. swensson, a college president, told of his struggles on the plains of kansas and he challenged other young swedes to come help him. sandzen was excited by the proposition and wrote dr. swensson a letter asking if he could use a young artist who could sing tenor and teach french. as soon as sandzen received the cable offering him a job, he accepted and arrived in lindsborg, kansas the day college opened in the fall.birger soon realized lindborg was where he wanted to make his home with the inspiring atmosphere of the new college and energy of the young teachers and president. he built a home, where he continued to live for fifty-four years. in 1900 he married augusta alfrida leksell, a gifted pianist. they had one daughter, margaret elizabeth.with time sandzen became more and more involved in teaching, even his evenings were reserved for class time. at around nine or ten in the evening he would find time for his own drawing. sandzen's inspiration came from his summers spent in colorado, utah, and new mexico.sandzen spent his time trying to generate an interest in art by talking to people about art, organizing exhibitions and establishing art clubs. he donated artwork to the local art club to help raise money for the purchasing of art books for the library, the financing of exhibitions, and the occasional awarding of a scholarship.the babcock galleries in new york hosted two large exhibitions of sandzen's work in 1922 and 1923. his sponsors, the american-scandinavian foundation, enthusiastically invited him to come. sandzen's reply was that he had classes and could not leave.sandzen retired after fifty-two years of teaching at bethany college. sandzen had honorary doctorates bestowed upon him by midland college of fremont, nebraska by nebraska university, and by kansas state college. in 1940 he was made a knight if the swedish order of the north star.after many months of failing health, birger sandzen passed away quietly in his home on june 19, 1954. \n condition: good condition, (artwork only viewed while framed) \n dimensions: 23 x 27.75 x 1.25 in \n weight: 6.85

lee, pecking order-dawn alarm, 2008 handcolored lino print, pencil signed on lower right, good condition, not examined out of frame. image size: 3.75 x 12 inches. lee becker is a studio artist working in oil, watercolor and printmaking. among the many themes of her large- and small-scale works are genetically endangered farm animal breeds, the kansas landscape and skies, portraits and the human figure, swedish heritage, birds (anything winged, in fact), and plays on words. she is a six-time winner in the kansas artists postcard series. her work has received more than 35 solo shows and been part of 65 group, invitational and juried exhibitions -- many in the midwest. she has commissioned works to her credit. before shifting to a full-time studio art career, becker taught art in kansas for 25 years -- privately, for arts organizations, and at all levels of formal education.she earned her mfa from fort hays state university in 1999 and a bachelor's degree in art and art education in 1976 from bethany college in lindsborg. becker was reared in mcpherson, south of lindsborg, and lived there as a spouse and mother of three boys in her young adult years. in the early 1970s, she began her art studies as an nontraditional student at bethany college and moved to lindsborg. after graduation, becker worked as a studio artist and began regularly exhibiting her work. sher undertook brief stints of teaching.in the years between earning her bachelor's and mfa, becker continued special studies --- in sculpture at bethany college and in watercolor with keith crown, professor emeritus of art at the university of southern california. while pursuing her master's degree at fort hays state, becker concentrated on printmaking under the tutelage of the respected printmaker frank nichols, professor emeritus of art at fort hays state.becker is known for her \"smoky valley angels\" series of linoleum cuts, launched in 1999. in each, a mythical winged creature plays a music instrument while hovering over a smoky valley scene, ranging from the old mill to local festivals. to make the \"smoky valley angels\" and her other linoleum cuts, becker uses a thick, flexible art linoleum once manufactured for use in battleships. thick-handled wood-carving tools help her control the cuts. after coating the uncut portions of the linoleum with a specially mixed ink, becker uses a table-mounted etching press to transfer the ink pattern to paper.\"each piece of linoleum will produce about 20 prints, \" she said. \"then i color each print by hand. after some experimentation, i found that highly concentrated pigments usually used with air brushes create the best effect. on these particular prints, i like the more intense color.\"in her work with oils, becker is pursuing a series of paintings of \"rare breeds\" -- farm animals that are genetically endangered by contemporary agriculture's pressure for extreme growth and mechanized food processing. once staples of the farm, these beautiful animals are now found only among special breeding associations, if at all. this interest has also led to experiments with pieces involving wild animals. her approach will be to concentrate on the animal form rather than the anthropomorphic tendency to sentimentalize these creatures. a true adventurer at heart, becker's work shows wide ranging interests -- including her semi-dangerous storm chasing. she often sketches atop coronado heights north of lindsborg or in a field until the last minute before a storm rolls in.travel is a passion, and becker still incorporates cultural symbols of india after having participated in a rotary international trip there in the 1980s.sketching is breathing to becker. at most lindsborg music and vocal performances, you'll see her near the front of the house, pen dancing on pad. she often gives her work to the performers.meanwhile, commissioned work has been as challenging as anything becker could invent for herself. she recently finished a mural in a san francisco house that features people of different ethnicities taking part in a wedding feast at a swedish country house. \"the human form always has been something i've never tired of studying, \" becker said. \"it's a challenge to get facial structures just right.\"becker lives in lindsborg with alan harlock and their menagerie of pets. \n condition: good

makers. born in magnolia, missouri in 1901, and reared from early childhood on a farm near winfield, kansas, herschel logan was surrounded by common things and found them beautiful.logan is distinguished among midwestern artists for the force and vitality of his woodcut prints. he had never heard of woodcuts until he became employed in the art department of a wichita printing company. he spent a year in the chicago academy of fine arts, taking all the drawing he could get in by day classes and studying by correspondence at night. he was also an eager student of design.by chance a customer of a wichita printing firm urged logan to go talk to mr. c. a. seward (1884-1939). that very evening he went to see seward and learned for the first time about the making of woodcuts. the next day he set out to find a piece of cherry wood. putting a fine edge on his pocket knife, he made his first woodcut print.the kansas landscape he found along the roadside became the subject for many of his prints. blazing sunlight effects in summer, falling snow and drifted farmsteads in winter are found in his prints. he often masses areas of black in contrast to splashes of light.as a charter member of the prairie print makers society, herschel logan (1901 - 1987) was recognized among his peers as one of the foremost printmakers in kansas when the group was founded in 1930. over his lifetime, logan's woodcuts received more than thirty prizes in art exhibitions throughout the region and u.s. they are represented in the permanent collections of the library of congress, new york public library and other esteemed institutions.logan's method of creating a woodcut is best documented in the book, herschel logan: man of many careers by anthony lehman. he writes, \"working either from photographs or field sketches, he would first make a rough outline on the block using tracing paper, then ponder the initial design for several days. after his imagination and innate artistic sense had a chance to function, the completed picture - which had largely evolved in his mind - was then realized on the wood.\" generally, his editions numbered 50 prints.logan made approximately 140 woodcuts from 1921 to 1938. in the early 1930s, he was named art director for consolidated printing in salina and remained there until his retirement in 1967.throughout his life, he was active in civic and service organizations, including the masons and rotary international. he was an authority on antique firearms, the civil war, and active in the national rifle association - writing a monthly article for the national rifleman magazine from approximately 1945 to 1965. he also created a cartoon called \"the colonel says\" that ran in the salina journal and was sponsored by consolidated printing. after he retired, logan moved to santa ana, california, and began printing miniature books using a baby reliance press.he died in santa ana in 1987.although he created a limited amount of woodcuts, he established a reputation as one of the finest masters of the medium and received numerous awards in juried competitions. his prints have a decisively elegant aspect that makes them instantly recognizable. \n condition: good condition, not examined out of frame \n dimensions: 16.75 x 13.75 x 0.75 in \n weight: 2.25 lb"},"estimateMax":500,"lotNumber":"92","title":{"en":"logan,

luigi (1900-1988) sheds, 1957 etching, pencil signed in lower right, good condition, not examined out of frame, image size: 10.75 x 9 inches. born in malnate, italy, in 1900, luigi lucioni became one of america's well-known landscape painters, whose work has been noted for its heightened realism and photographic attention to detail.lucioni immigrated to the united states with his family in 1911. in 1915 he won a competition which allowed him to attend cooper union, and he began studying there with william starkweather.in 1920, he studied with william auerbach levy at the national academy of design, and in 1922 was the recipient of a tiffany foundation scholarship. the fellowship enabled him to go back to his homeland in 1924 to study italian primitives. he responded immediately to the realism of early renaissance painting, which left a lasting impression on his work.as he incorporated realism into his own work, lucioni's paintings became more meticulous. his crisp, somewhat flat pattern and detail have been likened to the microscopic approach of the fifteenth-century flemish masters. lucioni's attention to detail can also be traced to his early work as an etcher in 1922, when he mastered that technique which stresses sharp linear precision, a skill instrumental in developing his precise painting style.beginning in 1929, he spent part of each year in manchester depot township in vermont, where he painted still lifes and landscapes of the hills and barns. in the 1930s, while european modernism was gaining momentum in the united states, lucioni remained committed to realism. his painting long island landscape (oil on canvas, 1930) depicts a nation that has tamed its wilderness. the image shows a field that has been cultivated for decades, a deeply rutted road, and a tired fence; all depictions of a country in the midst of the depression.he later taught at the art students' league in new york, and maintained a studio in that city's picturesque washington square. he also had a longstanding love of the opera, and corresponded with various opera singers, including giovanni martinelli, gladys swarthout, cesara valletti, and others.he won many honors during his distinguished career. he took first prize in 1939 at the carnegie international exhibition for a portrait of ethel waters. his 1941 portrait of john la farge was voted best painting by visitors to the corcoran biennial in washington, d.c. lucioni was a member of the society of american etchers (brooklyn), and the allied art association.despite his lack of conscious effort toward the experimental or avant-garde, lucioni's work has always been popular. he spent his last years in union city, new jersey and died in 1988. \n condition: good condition, not examined our of frame \n

sweden. he started carving at the age of nine. many of the boys in his school were also learning to carve, all of them inspired by the swedish woodcarver d&ouml;derhultarn. anton attended a technical school at the university of lund because his father wanted him to be an engineer. anton was more interested in the arts.it is unclear at this time why anton decided to travel to america. his family suspects his adventurous personality played a part in the decision. whatever the reason, he tried to book passage on the rms titanic, but the ship was sold out.anton arrived in america in may 1912, just a few days before his twentieth birthday. he settled in chicago for a time.in 1915, after visiting the world's fair in san francisco, anton decided to make a stop in a little town called lindsborg, kansas, a stop that would change the course of his life. anton enrolled in bethany college to study fine arts under his friend and mentor birger sandzen. by december 1918, he was exhibiting paintings at art shows locally and in surrounding areas.anton in lindsborg supported himself during these years by being a field agent for the capper publishing company as well as selling wearever aluminum kitchen utensils and as an \"oil man\" working for an oil company securing land owners contracts to drill on their property.during his bethany college years, anton met a quietly delightful piano student named grace lane. she was a direct descendant of the pilgrim william brewster. their courtship was a long one, as anton had many adventures he wanted to experience.in 1922, anton took a four-month sojourn traveling by horse and wagon, homemade houseboat, car and rail over 3,600 miles to travel the us and get inspiration for his art. he returned with nearly 200 paintings. anton sent grace many letters during this trip.anton's friendship with birger sandzen was a rewarding one. sandzen was not only anton's teacher and mentor, but a friend as well. many saturdays would find the two driving around in a model t ford from sunup to sundown seeking interesting scenes to sketch for paintings.after many adventures, anton married grace lane in 1929. anton and grace honeymooned in colorado. their daughter rosemary was born in 1933.anton and grace built their home in lindsborg in 1929. anton collected many interesting things during his travels: rocks, antiques, discarded building materials. anton enjoyed finding treasures and repurposing them for his home and studio. anton would later build a garage in the rear that eventually became his woodcarving studio.anton served his adopted country in wwi. he was stationed at camp cody, nm. he worked for the aircraft industry in wichita, ks during wwii. after the war, he continued to carve and amassed quite a collection of wonderful carvings. he opened his studio to tourists and visiting school groups. he went to schools and spoke about carving and the arts.in his studio, anton indulged in his childhood passion: woodcarving. he continued to paint as well, but the majority of his time was spent carving.anton's pioneer figures were mostly carved from redwood, catalpa, mahogany, cottonwood and even limestone. he did many other creative carvings, from funny figures to large animals. anton admired the pioneers of lindsborg. he listened intently to their stories and they influenced his carvings. they show swedish pioneers at work and at play, living their daily lives.anton said he created the characters he carved by closing his eyes and envisioning them. it's been suggested that perhaps lindsborg residents crept into his mind, as many of his carvings certainly resembled lindsborgians he encountered.anton passed away at the veteran's hospital in kansas city, mo in 1967. he left behind a legacy of expressive wood carvings as well as a son-in-law and grandson who would continue to work in his studio and keep it open to the public for the next 30 years. sadly, anton pearson\u2019s

darkened areas of her pottery are made when the pottery is fired. the chemistry of the clay body and the clay slip, the atmosphere in the fire, and the ash that falls onto the pots from the juniper wood combine to produce the red-orange-purple-brown-black blushes that enhance the unusual veneer of alice's pots.after graduating from an indian school, alice married jerry cling. they have four children who make pottery too. the family digs the brown-firing clay from a special place near black mesa, apache-navajo counties, arizona, screens it to eliminate impurities, and mixes it with sand for temper and with water to make it workable.alice learned how to make pottery from her mother, rose williams, an innovative navajo potter who had been trained by her aunt, grace barlow, who had raised rose at shonto. grace, rose, and alice have been the inspiration for many navajo potters.in 1978, cling's work was selected by joan mondale and featured in the vice-presidential mansion in

prairie print makers. born in magnolia, missouri in 1901, and reared from early childhood on a farm near winfield, kansas, herschel logan was surrounded by common things and found them beautiful.logan is distinguished among midwestern artists for the force and vitality of his woodcut prints. he had never heard of woodcuts until he became employed in the art department of a wichita printing company. he spent a year in the chicago academy of fine arts, taking all the drawing he could get in by day classes and studying by correspondence at night. he was also an eager student of design.by chance a customer of a wichita printing firm urged logan to go talk to mr. c. a. seward (1884-1939). that very evening he went to see seward and learned for the first time about the making of woodcuts. the next day he set out to find a piece of cherry wood. putting a fine edge on his pocket knife, he made his first woodcut print.the kansas landscape he found along the roadside became the subject for many of his prints. blazing sunlight effects in summer, falling snow and drifted farmsteads in winter are found in his prints. he often masses areas of black in contrast to splashes of light.as a charter member of the prairie print makers society, herschel logan (1901 - 1987) was recognized among his peers as one of the foremost printmakers in kansas when the group was founded in 1930. over his lifetime, logan's woodcuts received more than thirty prizes in art exhibitions throughout the region and u.s. they are represented in the permanent collections of the library of congress, new york public library and other esteemed institutions.logan's method of creating a woodcut is best documented in the book, herschel logan: man of many careers by anthony lehman. he writes, \"working either from photographs or field sketches, he would first make a rough outline on the block using tracing paper, then ponder the initial design for several days. after his imagination and innate artistic sense had a chance to function, the completed picture - which had largely evolved in his mind - was then realized on the wood.\" generally, his editions numbered 50 prints.logan made approximately 140 woodcuts from 1921 to 1938. in the early 1930s, he was named art director for consolidated printing in salina and remained there until his retirement in 1967.throughout his life, he was active in civic and service organizations, including the masons and rotary international. he was an authority on antique firearms, the civil war, and active in the national rifle association - writing a monthly article for the national rifleman magazine from approximately 1945 to 1965. he also created a cartoon called \"the colonel says\" that ran in the salina journal and was sponsored by consolidated printing. after he retired, logan moved to santa ana, california, and began printing miniature books using a baby reliance press.he died in santa ana in 1987.although he created a limited amount of woodcuts, he established a reputation as one of the finest masters of the medium and received numerous awards in juried competitions. his prints have a decisively elegant aspect that makes them

of america's well-known landscape painters, whose work has been noted for its heightened realism and photographic attention to detail.lucioni immigrated to the united states with his family in 1911. in 1915 he won a competition which allowed him to attend cooper union, and he began studying there with william starkweather.in 1920, he studied with william auerbach levy at the national academy of design, and in 1922 was the recipient of a tiffany foundation scholarship. the fellowship enabled him to go back to his homeland in 1924 to study italian primitives. he responded immediately to the realism of early renaissance painting, which left a lasting impression on his work.as he incorporated realism into his own work, lucioni's paintings became more meticulous. his crisp, somewhat flat pattern and detail have been likened to the microscopic approach of the fifteenth-century flemish masters. lucioni's attention to detail can also be traced to his early work as an etcher in 1922, when he mastered that technique which stresses sharp linear precision, a skill instrumental in developing his precise painting style.beginning in 1929, he spent part of each year in manchester depot township in vermont, where he painted still lifes and landscapes of the hills and barns. in the 1930s, while european modernism was gaining momentum in the united states, lucioni remained committed to realism. his painting long island landscape (oil on canvas, 1930) depicts a nation that has tamed its wilderness. the image shows a field that has been cultivated for decades, a deeply rutted road, and a tired fence; all depictions of a country in the midst of the depression.he later taught at the art students' league in new york, and maintained a studio in that city's picturesque washington square. he also had a longstanding love of the opera, and corresponded with various opera singers, including giovanni martinelli, gladys swarthout, cesara valletti, and others.he won many honors during his distinguished career. he took first prize in 1939 at the carnegie international exhibition for a portrait of ethel waters. his 1941 portrait of john la farge was voted best painting by visitors to the corcoran biennial in washington, d.c. lucioni was a member of the society of american etchers (brooklyn), and the allied art association.despite his lack of conscious effort toward the experimental or avant-garde, lucioni's work has always been popular. he spent his last years in union city, new jersey and died in 1988. \n condition: good condition, not examined our of frame \n

birger (1871-1954) untitled coronado heights, china marker, signed in lower right, good condition, not examined out of frame, image size: 14.5 x 20.75 inches. birger sandzen had a long distinguished career as an art professor at bethany college in lindsborg, kansas and as an impressionist landscape painter. he is best known for his modernist style with masses of paint, akin to that of vincent van gogh and paul cezanne, and for rocky mountain landscape subjects. his early work is tonalist in style in the manner of scandinavian romanticism, but after he began taking trips to colorado, his work became much more expressionist and brightly colored.sven birger sandzen was born in blidsberg, sweden to clara elizabeth and johan peter sandzen. his mother had studied drawing and his father, a minister, enjoyed writing poetry and playing the violin. when birger's parents noticed his artistic inclination, they asked a young minister to give drawing lessons to the nine year old. at the age of ten, he attended the college and academy of skara. here his drawing and painting lessons continued under olof erlandsson, a graduate of the royal academy at stockholm. after graduation from skara college, sandzen spent a semester at lund university attending art history lectures and continuing the study of french. following lund university he went to the technical high school at stockholm, where he studied perspective and form drawing. sandzen joined a group of young artists and they rented a studio at anders zorn's suggestion. they received instruction from anders as well as richard bergh, a well-known portrait painter and per hasselberg, one of sweden's best sculptors. a doctor from the caroline medical institute of stockholm gave anatomy lessons. these young artists formed \"the art school of the artists' league\" which played an important part in the development of modern swedish art.in the summer of 1894 sandzen returned to sweden where he read the book entitled i sverige by a young swedish-american educator, dr. carl a. swensson. dr. swensson, a college president, told of his struggles on the plains of kansas and he challenged other young swedes to come help him. sandzen was excited by the proposition and wrote dr. swensson a letter asking if he could use a young artist who could sing tenor and teach french. as soon as sandzen received the cable offering him a job, he accepted and arrived in lindsborg, kansas the day college opened in the fall.birger soon realized lindborg was where he wanted to make his home with the inspiring atmosphere of the new college and energy of the young teachers and president. he built a home, where he continued to live for fifty-four years. in 1900 he married augusta alfrida leksell, a gifted pianist. they had one daughter, margaret elizabeth.with time sandzen became more and more involved in teaching, even his evenings were reserved for class time. at around nine or ten in the evening he would find time for his own drawing. sandzen's inspiration came from his summers spent in colorado, utah, and new mexico.sandzen spent his time trying to generate an interest in art by talking to people about art, organizing exhibitions and establishing art clubs. he donated artwork to the local art club to help raise money for the purchasing of art books for the library, the financing of exhibitions, and the occasional awarding of a scholarship.the babcock galleries in new york hosted two large exhibitions of sandzen's work in 1922 and 1923. his sponsors, the american-scandinavian foundation, enthusiastically invited him to come. sandzen's reply was that he had classes and could not leave.sandzen retired after fifty-two years of teaching at bethany college. sandzen had honorary doctorates bestowed upon him by midland college of fremont, nebraska by nebraska university, and by kansas state college. in 1940 he was made a knight if the swedish order of the north star.after many months of failing health, birger sandzen passed away quietly in his home on june 19, 1954. \n condition: good condition, not examined out of frame \n dimensions: 24.75 x 31 x 2 in \n weight: 9.1

a woodblock printmaker and one of the founding members of the prairie printmakers, norma bassett hall was the only woman charter member of that group and the only one to establish a reputation exclusively with color prints. she was born and raised in halsey, oregon, and took her first art lessons at the school of the portland art association, where she studied for three years. after graduation, she gave private art lessons.in 1915, she enrolled at the art institute of chicago, graduating in 1918. there she was an assistant teacher for one year and met her future husband, arthur william hall, who was also a student there and whose studies were interrupted by army service in world war i. norma hall worked on defense projects in a drafting office after her graduation until the end of the war.in 1920, she returned to oregon where she opened a studio in portland and taught in a high school. two years later she and arthur were married.her interest in woodblock printmaking dated from 1922 when she was on a cannon beach, oregon honeymoon trip with arthur. the couple decided to make a pictorial visit of their trip by copying block prints from a book, and she saw what she described as the \"real possibilities\" of block printmaking. she used the oriental method, which is the mixing of dry color with water and rice-flour paste.she had a residency in kansas in 1923, and furthered her interest and skills in color block prints. she and her husband spent two years in europe, 1925 to 1927, studying and sketching including time in london and edinburgh, scotland where she met mable royds, married to etcher e.s. lumsden. from royds, she learned the japanese woodcut print method on rice paper involving transparent watercolors, which for hall was a redirection from opaque oil based colors. adopting this approach exclusively for many years, hall printed with as many as six or seven colors, each requiring a separate hand cut woodblock. in 1942, the couple moved to santa fe, new mexico where her reputation was established for her block prints of the southwest, especially new mexico. after a short time, the couple settled in alcalde, new mexico where the couple continued painting and also opened a summer art school. she began to devote a lot of time to serigraphs of local scenes and also did watercolors. the subjects of the totality of her work reflect the wide travels of the halls and include kansas-farm scenes, oregon landscapes, european scenes and new mexico pueblos. \n condition: good condition \n dimensions: 14 x 16 x 0.25 in \n weight: 0.4

subsequent time with refsal and increasing immersion into the elements of swedish culture as maintained in lindsborg have provided opportunities and a context for developing a personal approach to this folk art form. flat plane carving originated in the lumber camps of sweden and norway as far back as the mid 19th century. men working in the camps were separated from their families, and they carved toys to take to their children when they went home. they used their working knives with thick, heavy blades, which were only capable of taking off large chunks of wood. this approach didn\u2019t allow for smooth, rounded features \u2013 giving rise to the designation of \u201cflat plan carving\u201d. this crude technique evolved into figure carvings that captured the roughhewn nature of the people of the time. anton pearson carved images of the people he saw around him, evoking humor through poses and expressions. his work celebrates the people who settled central kansas

print makers. born in magnolia, missouri in 1901, and reared from early childhood on a farm near winfield, kansas, herschel logan was surrounded by common things and found them beautiful.logan is distinguished among midwestern artists for the force and vitality of his woodcut prints. he had never heard of woodcuts until he became employed in the art department of a wichita printing company. he spent a year in the chicago academy of fine arts, taking all the drawing he could get in by day classes and studying by correspondence at night. he was also an eager student of design.by chance a customer of a wichita printing firm urged logan to go talk to mr. c. a. seward (1884-1939). that very evening he went to see seward and learned for the first time about the making of woodcuts. the next day he set out to find a piece of cherry wood. putting a fine edge on his pocket knife, he made his first woodcut print.the kansas landscape he found along the roadside became the subject for many of his prints. blazing sunlight effects in summer, falling snow and drifted farmsteads in winter are found in his prints. he often masses areas of black in contrast to splashes of light.as a charter member of the prairie print makers society, herschel logan (1901 - 1987) was recognized among his peers as one of the foremost printmakers in kansas when the group was founded in 1930. over his lifetime, logan's woodcuts received more than thirty prizes in art exhibitions throughout the region and u.s. they are represented in the permanent collections of the library of congress, new york public library and other esteemed institutions.logan's method of creating a woodcut is best documented in the book, herschel logan: man of many careers by anthony lehman. he writes, \"working either from photographs or field sketches, he would first make a rough outline on the block using tracing paper, then ponder the initial design for several days. after his imagination and innate artistic sense had a chance to function, the completed picture - which had largely evolved in his mind - was then realized on the wood.\" generally, his editions numbered 50 prints.logan made approximately 140 woodcuts from 1921 to 1938. in the early 1930s, he was named art director for consolidated printing in salina and remained there until his retirement in 1967.throughout his life, he was active in civic and service organizations, including the masons and rotary international. he was an authority on antique firearms, the civil war, and active in the national rifle association - writing a monthly article for the national rifleman magazine from approximately 1945 to 1965. he also created a cartoon called \"the colonel says\" that ran in the salina journal and was sponsored by consolidated printing. after he retired, logan moved to santa ana, california, and began printing miniature books using a baby reliance press.he died in santa ana in 1987.although he created a limited amount of woodcuts, he established a reputation as one of the finest masters of the medium and received numerous awards in juried competitions. his prints have a decisively elegant aspect that makes them instantly recognizable. \n condition: good condition, not examined out of frame \n dimensions: 12.25 x 14.75 x 0.75 in \n weight: 1.9 lb"},"estimateMax":500,"lotNumber":"120","title":{"en":"logan,

sweden. he started carving at the age of nine. many of the boys in his school were also learning to carve, all of them inspired by the swedish woodcarver d&ouml;derhultarn. anton attended a technical school at the university of lund because his father wanted him to be an engineer. anton was more interested in the arts.it is unclear at this time why anton decided to travel to america. his family suspects his adventurous personality played a part in the decision. whatever the reason, he tried to book passage on the rms titanic, but the ship was sold out.anton arrived in america in may 1912, just a few days before his twentieth birthday. he settled in chicago for a time.in 1915, after visiting the world's fair in san francisco, anton decided to make a stop in a little town called lindsborg, kansas, a stop that would change the course of his life. anton enrolled in bethany college to study fine arts under his friend and mentor birger sandzen. by december 1918, he was exhibiting paintings at art shows locally and in surrounding areas.anton in lindsborg supported himself during these years by being a field agent for the capper publishing company as well as selling wearever aluminum kitchen utensils and as an \"oil man\" working for an oil company securing land owners contracts to drill on their property.during his bethany college years, anton met a quietly delightful piano student named grace lane. she was a direct descendant of the pilgrim william brewster. their courtship was a long one, as anton had many adventures he wanted to experience.in 1922, anton took a four-month sojourn traveling by horse and wagon, homemade houseboat, car and rail over 3,600 miles to travel the us and get inspiration for his art. he returned with nearly 200 paintings. anton sent grace many letters during this trip.anton's friendship with birger sandzen was a rewarding one. sandzen was not only anton's teacher and mentor, but a friend as well. many saturdays would find the two driving around in a model t ford from sunup to sundown seeking interesting scenes to sketch for paintings.after many adventures, anton married grace lane in 1929. anton and grace honeymooned in colorado. their daughter rosemary was born in 1933.anton and grace built their home in lindsborg in 1929. anton collected many interesting things during his travels: rocks, antiques, discarded building materials. anton enjoyed finding treasures and repurposing them for his home and studio. anton would later build a garage in the rear that eventually became his woodcarving studio.anton served his adopted country in wwi. he was stationed at camp cody, nm. he worked for the aircraft industry in wichita, ks during wwii. after the war, he continued to carve and amassed quite a collection of wonderful carvings. he opened his studio to tourists and visiting school groups. he went to schools and spoke about carving and the arts.in his studio, anton indulged in his childhood passion: woodcarving. he continued to paint as well, but the majority of his time was spent carving.anton's pioneer figures were mostly carved from redwood, catalpa, mahogany, cottonwood and even limestone. he did many other creative carvings, from funny figures to large animals. anton admired the pioneers of lindsborg. he listened intently to their stories and they influenced his carvings. they show swedish pioneers at work and at play, living their daily lives.anton said he created the characters he carved by closing his eyes and envisioning them. it's been suggested that perhaps lindsborg residents crept into his mind, as many of his carvings certainly resembled lindsborgians he encountered.anton passed away at the veteran's hospital in kansas city, mo in 1967. he left behind a legacy of expressive wood carvings as well as a son-in-law and grandson who would continue to work in his studio and keep it open to the public for the next 30 years. sadly, anton pearson\u2019s

as a woodblock printmaker and one of the founding members of the prairie printmakers, norma bassett hall was the only woman charter member of that group and the only one to establish a reputation exclusively with color prints. she was born and raised in halsey, oregon, and took her first art lessons at the school of the portland art association, where she studied for three years. after graduation, she gave private art lessons.in 1915, she enrolled at the art institute of chicago, graduating in 1918. there she was an assistant teacher for one year and met her future husband, arthur william hall, who was also a student there and whose studies were interrupted by army service in world war i. norma hall worked on defense projects in a drafting office after her graduation until the end of the war.in 1920, she returned to oregon where she opened a studio in portland and taught in a high school. two years later she and arthur were married.her interest in woodblock printmaking dated from 1922 when she was on a cannon beach, oregon honeymoon trip with arthur. the couple decided to make a pictorial visit of their trip by copying block prints from a book, and she saw what she described as the \"real possibilities\" of block printmaking. she used the oriental method, which is the mixing of dry color with water and rice-flour paste.she had a residency in kansas in 1923, and furthered her interest and skills in color block prints. she and her husband spent two years in europe, 1925 to 1927, studying and sketching including time in london and edinburgh, scotland where she met mable royds, married to etcher e.s. lumsden. from royds, she learned the japanese woodcut print method on rice paper involving transparent watercolors, which for hall was a redirection from opaque oil based colors. adopting this approach exclusively for many years, hall printed with as many as six or seven colors, each requiring a separate hand cut woodblock. in 1942, the couple moved to santa fe, new mexico where her reputation was established for her block prints of the southwest, especially new mexico. after a short time, the couple settled in alcalde, new mexico where the couple continued painting and also opened a summer art school. she began to devote a lot of time to serigraphs of local scenes and also did watercolors. the subjects of the totality of her work reflect the
