Descrizione

Dewey Bradford (1896-1985) Austin Texas Landscape c1920's Oil on Canvas Board.<br>9" x 12" painting in a 14.5" x 17.5" original frame. This painting is about<br>85-100 years old with no significant issues to painting or frame.<br><br>Dewey Bradford was the founder of The Country Store Gallery, Austin, Texas. In<br>1939, Porfirio Salinas began working with Dewey Bradford (1896-1985), one of the<br>great characters of Texas art. Bradford was a second-generation dealer whose<br>family operated the Bradford Paint Company in Austin, where they sold art<br>supplies, framed artwork, restored paintings and hung artists work. Salinas was<br>struggling when he met Bradford, but the older man took the young artist under<br>his wing and began to sell his work reliably, even though the prices that people<br>would pay for a painting were still low due to the lingering effects of the<br>Great Depression. Bradford was a born salesman with a gift for storytelling, and truth be told, a<br>bit of embroidery. The relationship between Bradford and Salinas was often<br>rocky, but it was to last the rest of the artists life and give him a modest<br>sense of loyalty and security, things which are all too rare in the art world. While Bradford could be critical of his work, Salinas knew that he had a dealer<br>who encouraged him, believed in him and was not shy about singing his praises to anyone who entered Bradford's store on Guadalupe Street.
