c1850 Texian Campaigne Historical Staffordshire brown 9.5" Soup bowl James<br>Beech, General Zachary Taylor at the Battle of Chapultepec. in near mint<br>condition with no chips or stains. Fine overall crazing and a very tight less<br>than 1" hairline on the reverse side that doesn't go through to the front. It is<br>shown on the left center of the fifth picture. This is an extremely rare piece<br>of an already rare and desirable pattern. 9.5" wide x 1.5" deep.<br><br>The "Texian Campaigne" transferware pattern was introduced about 1837; although<br>made in Staffordshire, it was produced to appeal to Americans. The pattern was<br>designed to commemorate the 1835-1836 revolution fought against Mexico by Texans<br>for their independence (the word 'Texian' is the British form for Texas.)<br><br>The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of<br>colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Texas Mexicans) in putting up<br>armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico. While the uprising was<br>part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces<br>opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican<br>government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with<br>the goal of annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring<br>that any foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt<br>with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and<br>under no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with<br>Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the<br>United States.<br><br>The revolution began in October 1835, after a decade of political and cultural<br>clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large population of<br>American settlers in Texas. The Mexican government had become increasingly<br>centralized and the rights of its citizens had become increasingly curtailed,<br>particularly regarding immigration from the United States. Colonists and Tejanos<br>disagreed on whether the ultimate goal was independence or a return to the<br>Mexican Constitution of 1824. While delegates at the Consultation (provisional<br>government) debated the war's motives, Texians and a flood of volunteers from<br>the United States defeated the small garrisons of Mexican soldiers by<br>mid-December 1835.

フライシュはポートレートをあまり撮っていませんでした。私は他に数枚しか見たことがありません。そのうちの 1 つは、2013 年に eBay で 6,100 ドルで落札されました。この作品は新品で、アーティストから購入されて以来、これまでどこにも出品されていませんでした。フレームのサイズは 31 インチ x 19 インチで、オリジナルのフレームです。イタリアでは、絵の裏の番号と一致する78061のステッカーが貼られています。キャンバスは24インチ×12インチです。絵もフレームも綺麗です。これは 1970 年代頃の彼の初期の作品の 1 つであり、私の意見では彼のより良い作品の 1 つでもあります。彼はよく上場されており、2008 年に亡くなる前からオークションで非常に高い価格が付けられています。ケン・フライシュ（アメリカ人、1943～2008 年） Ken Fleischs の絵画は、荒々しく説得力があり、一見シンプルに見えます。フライシュの作品は、ディテールとリアリズムにおいて完璧で、ほぼ古典的なやり方で人生の核心に迫ります。 1943 年 11 月 4 日にテキサスで生まれたフライシュは、幼少期に幅広い視点を経験して過ごしました。空軍士官の息子として米国とヨーロッパで生涯を過ごす。フライシュの美術教育は、アメリカとヨーロッパの両方の大学での正式な訓練と、個人学習や国際的に有名な芸術家との共同プロジェクトを通じて得た厳格な実践経験を組み合わせたものです。 自称リアリストである彼は、多くの場合、彼の生まれ故郷であるテキサス州からインスピレーションを得ていますが、彼の絵画は地理的な境界を超え、ほぼ古典的な方法で人生の核心に触れています。彼の刺激的な絵画は単なる現実の反映ではなく、彼が哲学と感情を共有する手段でもあります。複雑さを伝えるためにありふれたものを使用する彼は、古い陶器、工芸品、宗教的象徴を荒涼とした静物画にしばしば使用しており、多くの人がそれらに魅力を感じています。 フライシュは風景を描き始め、その後建築や建造物に移り、最終的には棚の上に長い間忘れられていた物体に惹かれるようになりました。フライシュは現在、もっぱら静物画を描いています。彼は、文化の融合と、自分が描く物の背後にある物語に興味を持っています。ケン・フライシュの受賞歴のある作品は、地域および国内の出版物で広く紹介されており、彼の絵画は主要な個人および公共のコレクションに収蔵されています。全国で。全国レベルでのケン・フライシュスの芸術の広範な認知、彼の版画シリーズの人気、そしてボブ・ディランからCBSテレビに至るまでの彼のコレクターの幅広い多様性は、彼の作品の深さと誠実さを強調するだけです。

c1850 Texian Campaigne Cup Blue Transferware Staffordshire James Beech Historical Texas Battle Scenes in the 1840's or 50's. No cracks, chips, or restorations, fine overall crazing. 2.5" tall x 3.75" wide at rim, extremely rare. The "Texian Campaigne" transferware pattern was introduced about 1837; although made in Staffordshire, it was produced to appeal to Americans. The pattern was designed to commemorate the 1835-1836 revolution fought against Mexico by Texans for their independence (the word 'Texian' is the British form for Texas.) The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Texas Mexicans) in putting up armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico. While the uprising was part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with the goal of annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring that any foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and under no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the United States. The revolution began in October 1835, after a decade of political and cultural clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large population of American settlers in Texas. The Mexican government had become increasingly centralized and the rights of its citizens had become increasingly curtailed, particularly regarding immigration from the United States. Colonists and Tejanos disagreed on whether the ultimate goal was independence or a return to the Mexican Constitution of 1824. While delegates at the Consultation (provisional government) debated the war's motives, Texians and a flood of volunteers from the United States defeated the small garrisons of Mexican soldiers by mid-December 1835. The Consultation declined to declare independence and installed an interim government, whose in led to political paralysis and a dearth of effective governance in Texas. An ill-conceived proposal to invade Matamoros siphoned much-needed volunteers and provisions from the fledgling Texian Army. In March 1836, a second political convention declared independence and appointed leadership for the new Republic of Texas. Determined to avenge Mexico's honor, Santa Anna vowed to personally retake Texas. His Army of Operations entered Texas in mid-February 1836 and found the Texians completely unprepared. Mexican General José de Urrea led a contingent of troops on the Goliad Campaign up the Texas coast, defeating all Texian troops in his path and executing most of those who surrendered. Santa Anna led a larger force to San Antonio de Béxar (or Béxar), where his troops defeated the Texian garrison in the Battle of the Alamo, killing almost all of the defenders. A newly created Texian army under the command of Sam Houston was constantly on the move, while terrified civilians fled with the army, in a melee known as the Runaway Scrape. On March 31, Houston paused his men at Groce's Landing on the Brazos River, and for the next two weeks, the Texians received rigorous military training. Becoming complacent and underestimating the strength of his foes, Santa Anna further subdivided his troops. On April 21, Houston's army staged a surprise assault on Santa Anna and his vanguard force at the Battle of San Jacinto. The Mexican troops were quickly routed, and vengeful Texians executed many who tried to surrender. Santa Anna was taken hostage; in exchange for his life, he ordered the Mexican army to retreat south of the Rio Grande.

c1850 Texian Campaigne 8.25" Green Transferware Staffordshire James Beech Historical Texas Battle Scenes Plate made with Texas Revolution Scenes in the 1840's or 50's. No cracks, chips, restorations, stains, or crazing. I have a few of these plates so in some cases numbered them to make sure I don't mix them up at any stage. This one is as clean as they get with no cracks, chips, crazing, glaze wear or other issues. There are three stilt marks on the front which are present on all of these plates as they are from the potting process 170 years ago but they are a little more prominent on this plate so I'm mentioning them and taking them into consideration. The "Texian Campaigne" transferware pattern was introduced about 1837; although made in Staffordshire, it was produced to appeal to Americans. The pattern was designed to commemorate the 1835-1836 revolution fought against Mexico by Texans for their independence (the word 'Texian' is the British form for Texas.) The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Texas Mexicans) in putting up armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico. While the uprising was part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with the goal of annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring that any foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and under no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the United States. The revolution began in October 1835, after a decade of political and cultural clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large population of American settlers in Texas. The Mexican government had become increasingly centralized and the rights of its citizens had become increasingly curtailed, particularly regarding immigration from the United States. Colonists and Tejanos disagreed on whether the ultimate goal was independence or a return to the Mexican Constitution of 1824. While delegates at the Consultation (provisional government) debated the war's motives, Texians and a flood of volunteers from the United States defeated the small garrisons of Mexican soldiers by mid-December 1835. The Consultation declined to declare independence and installed an interim government, whose in led to political paralysis and a dearth of effective governance in Texas. An ill-conceived proposal to invade Matamoros siphoned much-needed volunteers and provisions from the fledgling Texian Army. In March 1836, a second political convention declared independence and appointed leadership for the new Republic of Texas. Determined to avenge Mexico's honor, Santa Anna vowed to personally retake Texas. His Army of Operations entered Texas in mid-February 1836 and found the Texians completely unprepared. Mexican General José de Urrea led a contingent of troops on the Goliad Campaign up the Texas coast, defeating all Texian troops in his path and executing most of those who surrendered. Santa Anna led a larger force to San Antonio de Béxar (or Béxar), where his troops defeated the Texian garrison in the Battle of the Alamo, killing almost all of the defenders. A newly created Texian army under the command of Sam Houston was constantly on the move, while terrified civilians fled with the army, in a melee known as the Runaway Scrape. On March 31, Houston paused his men at Groce's Landing on the Brazos River, and for the next two weeks, the Texians received rigorous military training. Becoming complacent and underestimating the strength of his foes, Santa Anna further subdivided his troops. On April 21, Houston's army staged a surprise assault on Santa Anna and his vanguard force at the Battle of San Jacinto. The Mexican troops were quickly routed, and vengeful Texians executed many who tried to surrender. Santa Anna was taken hostage; in exchange for his life, he ordered the Mexican army to retreat south of the Rio Grande. Mexico refused to recognize the Republic of Texas, and intermittent conflicts between the two countries continued into the 1840s. The annexation of Texas as the 28th state of the United States, in 1845, led directly to the Mexican–American War. tw144

No cracks, chips, restorations, stains, or crazing. There is expected glaze wear on rim and one firing flaw on back close to the stilt marks. I did just notice on the right side just inside the rim area a hairline type stain, it is visible on the back also, it goes nowhere near the rim and could possibly be a firing flaw.

Signed Book The Sculpture and Drawing of Charles Umlauf (1911-1994). Estate fresh from a prominent Austin Texas Estate, guaranteed Authentic Signature I'm 100% positive. A little wear to dust jacket as shown, no issues with interior of book, lots of great photographs. Umlauf didn't hold book signings to the best of my knowledge, it's very rare to find a book signed by him. Charles Umlauf (July 17, 1911 – November 19, 1994) was an American sculptor and teacher who was born in South Haven, Michigan. His sculptures can be found in churches, numerous public institutions, outdoor locations, and museums, including the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as well as in many private collections. Umlauf received a number of accolades, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Ford Foundation Grant. In 1941 Umlauf accepted a position at the University of Texas School of Art in Austin, Texas, where he taught for 40 years. Artists teaching at UT included Loren Mozley, Everett Spruce, Kelly Fearing, Seymour Fogel, and William Lester. Umlauf retired as Professor Emeritus in 1981. In 1985, he and his wife Angeline Allen Umlauf gave their Austin home, Umlauf’s studio, and 168 sculptures to the City of Austin. Based on this gift and considerable community support, the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden and Museum was founded and opened its doors in 1991 as at 605 Azie Morton Road in Austin, Texas. The UMLAUF is a private–public partnership with the City of Austin. Contents 1 Early life 2 Work 3 Mentorship 4 Selected works 5 References 6 External links Early life Charles Umlauf was born in South Haven, Michigan, on a large farm where his family lived and worked. He was the sixth of eight children born to immigrant parents Christian Heinrich (Bavarian) and Charlotte Derouet (French-Alsatian). The Umlauf children were named Heinrich, Marie, Charlotte, Wilhelm, Edouard, Karl, Emelia, and Louis. The family moved frequently in search of work. The Umlauf family suffered from anti-German sentiment during the first World War. The family Americanized their names (Heinrich to Henry, Wilhelm to William, Karl to Charles) to avoid persecution in their Michigan town and schools. After enactment of the Espionage Act of 1917, Umlauf’s father was falsely accused of spying while working at an ammunition plant. Soon after, the windows were shattered in the family home. This treatment would influence the subjects and expression in Charles’ work. In 1918 the entire family relocated to Chicago in search of greater opportunities for work. Umlauf discovered sculpture early in his life, when he was a child, playing in the sand at Lake Michigan. He watched a sand artist on the beach, and subsequently sculpted a life-size sand sculpture of his own. Umlauf claimed that he knew at the age of ten that he was going to be a sculptor. At this age, he was living with his family in Chicago. In 1922, Christian Umlauf died, further impoverishing the family. Charlotte Umlauf died only 6 years later, leaving the children orphans and emotionally devastated. Charlotte had been a fervent supporter of artistic education for her children, spending a portion of their meager income on music lessons for Charles and his siblings. Work In 1918, when Charles was eight years old, the Umlauf family moved to Chicago. Charles and his brothers worked as caddies at Oak Park and Bryn Mawr Country Clubs. Charles was encouraged to pursue his artistic interests by his sister, Marie, who paid for her 11-year-old brother to attend weekend classes at the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC). He soon earned a scholarship for continued study. Umlauf was interested in carving and forming figures from an early age. Based on a small lion he molded in clay, Charles received his first commission of a full-sized lion in 1922, at age eleven. In 1929 Umlauf began three years of study with Albin Polasek at the AIC. He subsequently spent one year as an assistant to Lorado Taft at his Midway Studio before returning to the AIC where he remained until 1937. Those years saw a growth in Umlauf's interest in the more abstract sculptures being produced in Europe, and as a consequence, his own art became increasingly abstracted. From 1934 through 1941, Umlauf was employed by the WPA Federal Art Project, created during the Great Depression. He sculpted for several Federal projects, including two monumental sculptural heads for Merchandise Mart and sculptures for Cook County Hospital. His 1939 work War Mother caught the attention of Marion Koogler McNay and professors at the newly formed Art Department at the University of Texas at Austin. They offered him a position as Professor of Life Drawing and Sculpture and the Umlaufs permanently moved to Austin in 1943. Mentorship During his tenure at the University of Texas, Charles Umlauf taught many art students, including Farrah Fawcett. Fawcett, an art major, called Umlauf her "favorite professor" and they began a close mentoring relationship. Fawcett took classes and worked with Umlauf in his studio, as well as occasionally sitting for him as a muse. Her sculpture work is similar to Umlauf's in style. Work by Fawcett was exhibited at the UMLAUF in 2017 in the Mentoring a Muse exhibition.[1] Another of his pupils was Bob "Daddy-O" Wade, who studied at the University of Texas from 1961-65, and later became famous for his larger-than-life sized works inspired by Texan cowboy culture.

He married Cynthia Vela, also a UIW graduate, in 1975, and they enjoyed 40 years together. After finding his artistic passion in creating beautiful, handmade, one of a kind pottery, Walt and Cynthia opened their shop, Village Gallery, in San Antonio's historic La Villita and a production studio in McQueeney, Texas. He and Cynthia loved participating in craft fairs around the country with a special fondness for the "Starving Artists Show" along the San Antonio River Walk and La Villita. They enjoyed a successful artistic venture for over forty years and their pottery has been appreciated across the globe. His unique pottery was collected by dignitaries from around the world, including the Queen of England, Ronald Reagan, and other notables, as well as being featured by San Antonio's sister city in Japan. As a master potter, Walt enjoyed mentoring professional potters from around the world, sharing his technique and skill. Later in his career, he loved teaching Ceramics at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas where he contributed both in and out of the classroom. With the help of TLU students and faculty, he introduced the "Empty Bowls Project" to the Seguin area, raising funds to help feed the hungry.

2 Signed first Editions The life of Pitser Garrison Bob Bowman. These are not just two signed copies of this book, these are from the Garrison Family and include all the legal paperwork, things submitted towards the publishing of the book, etc. I really didn't have time to look through it all but it's all important. These have to be the two most important copies of this book in existence I would think. Below is the bio of the estate they came from and it's significance. Both books with slight wear to dust jackets overall good, with all the paperwork included, not all of it shown. Garrison Brothers Honored Nathan Smith, Staff Writer February 10, 2012 Homer and Pitser Garrison, brothers and graduates of LHS, were honored by the Lufkin High School Alumni Associtation (LHSAA), for their distinct service to Lufkin and the state of Texas.Texas Rangers, family members, and friends including Reba Garrison, wife of Pitser Garrison and Tommie Garrison West, niece of the brothers, and Mayor Jack Gorden gathered in the Honor Hall as the Rangers dedicated a framed piece with two pictures found by Ranger Rayburn as he was doing research about the Garrisons.The Rangers gave a presentation in memory of Homer Garrison’s life and read through his achievements as a law enforcement officer.Homer Garrison, who lived from 1901 to 1968, served as the Texas Ranger Chief and the first director of the Texas Department of Public Safety. He began his law enforcement career at age 19, after being appointed as a deputy-sheriff in Angelina County. His father told him he would never get anywhere in that “dead end job”, but Homer continued to work at the job and became a state license and weight inspector for the Texas Highway Department and joined the Texas Highway Patrol when it was organized in 1930.In 1935, the Texas Highway Patrol and the Texas Rangers were placed under the same director, and the Texas Department of Public Safety was created. Homer Garrison Jr. was named as the first Assistant Director, and was tasked with training new DPS officers. His opportunities did not stop there, however. At the request of the governor of New Mexico, Homer was sent to help with the organization of the New Mexico State Police. He was even offered a position by Gen. Douglas MacArthur to structure Japan’s new police system, but declined so that he could stay with the Rangers an the DPS. Eventually, Homer Garrison Jr. went on to become the director of the DPS and took his position as chief of the Rangers. Under his leadership, many new and groundbreaking programs were created for the organization, and by the time of his death, the organizations themselves emerged as one of the most powerful and efficient police forces in America. Instead of choosing law enforcement like his older brother, Pitser Garrison chose a life of public political service in Lufkin and throughout the state of Texas. Pitser attended Lon Morris College and the University of Texas Law School where he graduated in 1935. He served as a senior partner at the J.J. Collins law firm for almost 30 years, before becoming president of the Lufkin National Bank. In 1970, Pitser Garrison became the mayor of Lufkin until his resignation in 1988, and he served for 18 years, longer than any other Lufkin mayor. Pitser was renowned for his hometown pride and his leadership skills during his career. He possessed a particular charisma and intellect and knew how to get things done. “Before Pitser, the local Lufkin government was in a very unstable shape,” mayor Gorden said. “It was not uncommon to have a new city manager every few years. But he changed that. He brought a stability and a sense of unity to the Lufkin government.” The character of each brother was just as much memorialized as the achievements they had while serving others. “Homer was a glowing man with a real gift for working with people,” added his niece, Tommie West. “He just had a way of motivating you and making you feel good about yourself.” And like his older brother, Pitser also had a way with people, and his kindness is still remembered by those close to him. “Pitser was just the nicest man. He had a booming voice that could really get you,” said Reba Garrison, laughing. “Everybody looked up to him, everybody respected him, and he deserved it.” These and other related items I'll be listing shortly are from the estate of multiple descendants of Homer Garrison Jr. GARRISON, HOMER, JR. (1901-1968). Homer Garrison, Jr., Texas Ranger chief and director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, son of Homer and Mattie (Milam) Garrison, was born in Kickapoo, Anderson County, Texas, on July 21, 1901, the eldest of nine children. After graduation from Lufkin High School he went to work in the office of his father, who was district clerk in Angelina County. Garrison received his first experience as a law officer at nineteen, when was appointed a deputy sheriff of Angelina County. In 1929 he became a state license and weight inspector for the Texas Highway Department, and he joined the Texas Highway Patrol when it was organized in 1930. When the Department of Public Safety was founded in August 1935 Garrison became the first assistant director. Among his initial duties was the task of developing a training program for DPS officers. At the request of the governor of New Mexico, he was sent to that state to help organize the New Mexico State Police. During World War II he was offered an appointment by Gen. Douglas MacArthur to reorganize and supervise the Japanese national police system for the War Department, but he declined in deference to his duties as director of the DPS and chief of the Texas Rangers. Among the many honors bestowed upon him during the nearly thirty years he served as the head of the state law-enforcement agency was the presentation of the sixth Paul Gray Hoffman Award, conferred annually by the Automotive Safety Foundation for distinguished service in highway safety. In 1963 Governor John Connally appointed Garrison director of civil defense and disaster relief for the state of Texas and chairman of the State Defense Council. The same year the governor also named him director of the Governor's Highway Safety Commission. In May 1966 he was elected chairman of the resolutions committee and a member of the steering committee of the Southern Region Highway Policy Committee of the Council of State Governments; in January 1967 he was named a member of the National Motor Vehicle Safety Advisory Council. Colonel Garrison became director of the Department of Public Safety and chief of the Texas Rangers in 1938. Under his leadership numerous major programs were developed, and the organization grew to a total of some 3,400 employees. The programs included crime control, police traffic supervision, driver licensing, vehicle inspection, safety responsibility, accident records, safety education, defense and disaster service, and police training. Garrison married Mary Nell Kilgore on June 1, 1939, and they had one son. Garrison died on May 7, 1968, and was buried in the State Cemetery, Austin. A Texas Ranger museum at Fort Fisher was named for him. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Ben Procter, "The Texas Rangers: An Overview," in The Texas Heritage, ed. Ben Procter and Archie P.

Known to friends and colleagues as "Mamie", she liked to refer to<br>herself as a "housewife-historian".<br><br>Barkley's roots in Austin extended back four generations. She was born in 1907<br>to James Patrick Starr and Mary Ellen Dolan Starr (Nellie), devout Irish<br>Catholics who belonged to St. Mary's Parish in Austin. Mary attended St. Mary's<br>Cathedral School until her graduation in 1923. Her close ties to the Catholic<br>Church greatly influenced both her historical research and her charitable<br>activities throughout the rest of her life.<br><br>Mary attended the University of Texas for two years and then went to work for<br>Austin National Bank where she met her future husband, Fred C. Barkley. The two<br>were married in 1930. During World War II, when Fred was in service, Mary began<br>to write fiction and essays. One of her favorite personal anecdotes concerns the<br>time in 1946 that she sent out three articles and received a check for each one.<br>"After that", she said, "I could never quit writing." She regularly sold<br>stories, essays and articles to magazines such as The Cattleman, Farm and Ranch,<br>Catholic Digest, the Houston Chronicle Sunday Magazine, and the Atlanta Journal<br>Magazine .<br><br>Mary Starr Barkley wrote predominantly about Austin and the surrounding<br>communities. She liked to set out at about nine o'clock in the morning one day<br>each week and drive to communities within a fifty mile radius of Austin.

Thomas L. Lewis (1907-1978) Taos New Mexico Landscape Oil on Panel. Nice old painting from the mid 20th century by a well listed artist. No issue or damage, clean frame, signed on back. Also a note on the back indicating at one point is was cleaned and varnished, looks fantastic now. 21" x 26" framed 17.5" x 22" panel. Born in Bay City, Texas, Thomas became a painter of detailed Southwest landscapes and an art gallery owner in Taos, New Mexico. He was a professional artist from the age of nineteen and began by painting scenes of the American South. In the early 1930s, he began experimenting with sepia-tones and desert painting and developed a sophisticated range of colors, which were particularly expressive of the desert country. After the War, he settled in Taos, New Mexico, and Bert Phillips, founder of the Taos Art Colony, became one of his best friends. His paintings are in the Gilcrease Institute of American History, the University of Arizona Art Museum, and many private collections.

Myrtle Lillian Stedman (1908-2007) 1931 Houston Texas Watercolor of Southern woman of color Feeding chickens. This is a really great watercolor from 1931 when she was living in Houston Texas and attending the Houston Museum of Fine Arts School. I personally find it extremely refreshing to find a picture from this era depicting a woman of color just "doing her thing" in a non derogatory fashion. 9.25" x 11.5" sight in a 15.5" x 18" frame. No issues with painting or frame. It's behind museum glass. It came with a note that I seem to have lost but it was just a pre-internet explanation of the importance of the artist with notes of when it was reframed behind museum glass. Myrle is more famous for her New Mexico landscapes, I personally find this one very interesting and refreshing.

c1980 Bob white Quail Watercolor by Anita Diebel. Very nice watercolor from the seventies or 80's. 13.75" framed 9.5" sight. No issues or damage. ART has always been part of my life. It is my personal means of expression, of reaching out, of sharing my world and the wonder I find within it. The marvels of nature infuse my work, whether realistic or abstract. I am blessed, now, to live by the sea, where endless horizons meet marvelous sunrises and the sound of the gull, the heron, the crane mingle with the music of wind whistling in the palms. Every turn in my life brings new inspiration. My art is a delightful journey of never ending exploration. I find joy in each experience and delight when the viewer findS Something within my work that reaches out to them. I will never paint all the things that call to me but I shall surely try. Enjoy Anita Diebel is recognized for her sensitive water-media and collage paintings that resonate with layers of color and texture. An intuitive painter, her work evolves from an inner spirit as she responds to the interaction of colors and shapes, line and rhythm. Each painting is the combination of many layers: painted, collaged, obscured, found, hidden, enhanced and melded into the whole as the many events in our lives serve to make us who we are, a combination of that which has gone before, that which we experience and that of which we dream. Diebel's paintings hang in private and corporate collections throughout the US and abroad. Her work has been honored with awards at local, national and international levels. She has attained signature status in Texas Watercolor Society, Southwest Watercolor Society and Western Federation of Watercolor Society. b41

Texas 1937 Pan American Games Olympic Gold Medal. This is an Authentic (tested) 14k gold medal from the Pan-American games that took place in 1937 in Dallas Texas. This was the first year of the games, it received little attention, it's likely the only one in existence as very few people in the world even know these games took place even though athletes that were famous at the time and also competed in the 1936 Olympics in Germany also competed here. It took me a fair amount of time to figure out what this was as I could find no sales results from another. 999/1000 gold buyers would melt this without ever figuring out what it was. Maybe there is another one out there but I could find no evidence of that, regardless it's a very important part of sports and Texas history. I'm assuming TKC is the recipient of the Medal, at the moment I'm not sure who that is. I've had this for quite some time and I know I acquired it in Austin, probably about 4-5 year ago which would have made the recipient 100 when he passed if he competed at 20 assuming I acquired it directly from the recipients estate. 84 years is a long time. I'm putting this out there hoping to gather a little more info on it and the price might seem crazy but I think it or more could be possible at the right auction. 7/8" wide x 1" tall without loop. Below is a little info I gathered online from various sources in a few hours about the 1937 Games and a few of it's participants. Early games The idea of holding a Pan American Games was first raised at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, where Latin American representatives of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) suggested that a competition among all the countries in the Americas should be created.[7] The first event called the Pan American Games took place in Dallas in 1937 as part of the Greater Texas & Pan-American Exposition, but it attracted so little attention it has never counted in the records of the competition.[8][9] At the first Pan American Sports Congress, held in Buenos Aires in 1940, the participants decided that the first games should be held in Buenos Aires in 1942. The plans had to be postponed because of World War II. A second Pan American Sports Congress held in London during the 1948 Summer Olympics reconfirmed Buenos Aires as the choice of host city for the inaugural games, which were held in 1951. The games began on February 25[10] of that year, and offered 18 sports.[7] Countries that were part of the Commonwealth of Nations such as Canada did not compete at the first Pan American Games.[11] The second games were held in Mexico City, Mexico. Competitions started on March 12 and included 2,583 athletes from 22 countries, competing in 17 sports.[12] The Pan American Games have been held subsequently every four years.[12] Continental championships have long been a vital component of the four-year calendar for sports whose pinnacle is the Olympic Games. They began in continents with relatively few organised international competitions between neighbouring countries. The 1937 Pan American Games were followed by the Pacific Games, the African Games and the Asian Games. The Pan American Games The idea of Pan American Games was conceived in 1932 during the Los Angeles Olympic Games, but the first officially sanctioned Pan Am Games did not take place until 1951.1" World politics interfered from the start. 14 As a prelude to the Games originally planned for 1942, a festival called the 1937 Pan American Games was held in Dallas, Texas. At least 21 nations of South, Central and North America were invited, but only about a half dozen actually attended. In soccer, 1937 Pan-American Games (unofficial): The United States (represented by the Trenton Highlanders) lost to Winnipeg (representing Canada) 3-2 to finish in 3rd place of 3 teams. Dyreson, Mark. (2016). The Original Pan-American Games? The 1937 Dallas Pan-American Olympics. The International Journal of the History of Sport. 33. 1-23. 10.1080/09523367.2016.1152959. In 1937, Dallas, Texas, hosted a sporting festival that drew teams from across the Americas to a ‘Pan American Olympics’. Organized under the umbrella of the Greater Texas and Pan-American Exposition, the games drew hundreds of athletes for track and field contests, soccer football matches, and a boxing tournament. Though historians generally consider the 1951 Buenos Aires Pan-American Games as the genesis of the Western Hemisphere’s biggest sporting carnival, the Dallas games certainly inspired even if they did not directly inaugurate the Pan-American Games movement. Directed by George Preston Marshall, the owner of a professional gridiron football franchise and an ardent leader of segregation in that sport, the Pan-American Olympics paradoxically produced an interracial set of contests that matched black, white, and Latino athletes against one another in the heart of the segregated US South. The Dallas Pan-American festival reveals the enigmatic visions of their architect, illumines the racial and national cleavages of the 1930s, and highlights the persistent dream of an Olympic-style event that would include all of the Americas. Earle Meadows Inducted: 1996, athlete Born: June 29, 1913 - Corinth, Mississippi no longer with us: November 11, 1992 Events Pole Vault - 4.54 m A world record holder in the days of the bamboo pole, Earle Meadows achieved his greatest fame by winning the pole vault at the 1936 Olympic Games, but 1937 was perhaps his greatest year from a record standpoint. On May 8 at Stanford, Calif., Meadows and University of Southern California teammate Bill Sefton broke the world record when they cleared 4.48m/14 feet 8.50 inches, appropriately tying for first place. Three weeks later, they both bettered that mark with clearances of 4.55m/14-11. Since the standards couldn't be raised any higher, Meadows and his teammate lost their chance to become the first vaulters to clear 15 feet. Their performances while leading USC to three NCAA team titles earned Meadows and Sefton the nickname "Heavenly Twins." In 1935 and 1936, Meadows also shared the NCAA title with Sefton, and he tied Sefton for the 1935 AAU title. Meadows was equally as successful indoors, winning national titles in 1937, 1940 and 1941. In the latter meet, he set a world indoor best of 4.45m/14-7. Records Held World Record (indoor): Pole Vault - 4.45 m World Record: Pole Vault - 4.48 m (May 8, 1937 - ) World Record: Pole Vault - 4.54 m (May 29, 1937 - ) Championships 1936 Olympic Games: Pole Vault - 4.35 m (1st) 1935 USA Outdoor Championships: - 4.23 m (1st) 1936 Olympic Trials: Pole Vault - 4.34 m (1st) 1937 USA Indoor Championships: - 4.34 m (1st) 1940 USA Indoor Championships: - 4.34 m (1st) 1941 USA Indoor Championships: - 4.38 m (1st) 1937 Pan American Games: - 4.12 m (3rd) 1936 Olympic Games, Berlin, Germany John Loaring Jr’s second competitive experience in the 400m hurdles was on his 21st birthday, August 3rd, in the heats at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. The following day, Loaring ran in both the semi-final and final of the 400m hurdles. He was the youngest and most inexperienced finalist, but managed to win the silver medal, finishing only 3/10ths of a second behind the favourite and world record holder, Glenn Hardin. On August 6th and 7th, Loaring ran four 400m races: first round, second round, semi-final, and the final, in which he placed sixth. On August 8th, Loaring anchored the 4x400m Canadian relay team. In the semi-final heat, Loaring received the baton ahead of Germany’s Rudolf Harbig, who later, in 1939, broke World Records in the 400m and 800m runs. Loaring purposely slowed near the end, letting Harbig win in front of his countrymen, and knowing that a Canadian second would qualify for the final. However, in the final, Canada’s third relay runner was fouled by an American runner, and Loaring received the baton seven meters behind Harbig. Loaring nearly caught Harbig, with Germany and Canada receiving the same time, but Loaring behind by less than a metre — Canada placing fourth. International press reported that officials huddled about the obvious foul, but ultimately decided not to disqualify the USA team, because the Canadian team hadn’t protested. Such was the gentlemanly “roll-with-the-punches” sportsmanship and politics of that earlier time. The popular German weekly, Fussball, selected Loaring as: “The toughest competitor of 1936…” The noted Olympic authors, Ross and Norris McWhirter, commented: “Loaring’s competitive record at the 1936 Olympics…must just about represent the most severe test to which any Olympic athlete has ever been subjected.” Loaring is still the only athlete to compete in all three Olympic male finals involving the 400m distance in any combination of Olympic Games, and he did so as he turned age 21. Like other young athletes, the onset of World War II deprived him of two Olympic Games during his prime years – one can only surmise what performances he could have delivered as an experienced athlete. Post-Olympic Performances Immediately after the Olympic events, Loaring competed in a British Empire vs USA meet in London, England, on August 15th, 1936. In a four-by-two-lap steeplechase relay, Loaring ran the anchor leg in a World Best Time, winning gold for the British Empire Team. He overcame a 12yd lead of USA’s anchorman, who had held the 3,000m steeplechase World Record until one week prior. This was Loaring’s one and only steeplechase experience. In the 1937 Pan-American Games in Dallas, Texas, Loaring’s favourite 400m hurdles event wasn’t on the program. However, he won a fourth-place medal in the 400m run. Three days later, Loaring competed in an Oxford-Cambridge versus Canada Dual Meet in Hamilton, Ontario. After winning the 220yd hurdles, Loaring upset Britain’s Olympic silver and gold medalist while winning the 440yd run. John Woodruff African American runner at the 1937 Pan American Games, he faced Elroy Robinson, a white runner who had just set a world record in the 800 meters. Mr. Woodruff won the race by 12 yards with a time of 1:47.8, almost two seconds faster than Robinson’s week-old record. But officials disallowed Mr. Woodruff’s time, ruling the track was improperly measured and was several feet short.
