Josuë Dupon (Belgian, 1864-1935) Art deco universal exposition Anvers 1930 medal 3 1/8" from side to side. Josuë Dupon | Belgian, 1864-1935 A talented and prolific sculptor whose work, which includes painting and graphics, is still far too little known. After successfully studying at the Roeselare and Antwerp Academies (1887), he received a gold medal for a monumental bronze, Samson killing the lion, in 1890. From that year on, his work appeared regularly in exhibitions at home and abroad. Although not an innovator, he worked in every genre and mastered every technique and material. He was one of the first in Belgium to carve statues in "Off White" (1893), including an exceptionally refined Diana which was bought by the Antwerp Royal Museum of Fine Arts, which also acquired his spectacular bronze Vulture defending its prey a year later. The career that the sculptor subsequently built brought him numerous important awards and an appointment as professor at the Antwerp Academy, as well as commissions for facade sculptures and monuments. Although Dupon did not play a very active part in clubs or associations, he developed into an authority who was associated with reliability and class. The installation of his life-size Camel Driver (1902) on the roof and of his two bronze bird groups at the entrance to Antwerp Zoo confirmed his reputation as a first-rate animal sculptor. The thoroughness with which he approached this specialised area from the beginning is unequalled by any other Belgian sculptor. There were few animal species that did not succeed in inspiring him, and of those that did, he was as faithful to their anatomical detail as he was capable of expressing their nature. It appears from this that Josuë Dupon was in every inch a realist whose technically faultless art, with his sense of the dramatic, his feeling for decorative complexity and his slight tendency towards idealizing, was in every way in keeping with a 19th century conception of art. To describe Dupon as the Belgian Frémiet (1834-1910) is in this light elucidating without implying anything derogatory to either of them. As a gifted specialist in depicting horses – as if we can talk of preferences in this thoroughbred animal sculptor – he created the remarkable equestrian sculpture of Pater C. Lievens in Moorslede (1930). Rather than attempting to provide an overview of his works, exhibitions and honours here, it seems more appropriate mention the telling fact that his pupils at the Antwerp Academy included leading sculptors such as A. Collin (1886-1962), W.Kreitz (1903-1982) and A. Poels (1903-1984).

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. She<br>conducted a substantial amount of her research through oral interviews and<br>enjoyed talking to "old timers" who could tell her all about the history of<br>their communities. Barkley's method of history writing was to weave human<br>interest stories into traditional date-oriented narratives; she called this<br>style her "trademark". Barkley also carried a camera with her during her travels<br>and took many of the pictures that accompanied her articles.<br><br>In addition to her work as an amateur historian, Barkley was involved in several<br>organizations, many of which were affiliated with the Catholic Church. In 1950,<br>she helped organize the Seton Hospital Auxiliary to which she ultimately gave<br>over 17,000 hours of her time during a 30-year period. In 1950, Barkley also<br>helped organize the Friends of the Adoration Convent, a group that served as<br>both the auxiliary and the fundraising arm of the Austin Adoration Convent. In<br>her later years, she served as the Chair of the Travis County Historical Survey<br>Committee, an organization dedicated to the preservation of the historical<br>buildings within Travis County.<br><br>Barkley was the author of several published works including: Fifty Years of the<br>Seton Hospital (1952), O ne Hundred Years: The History of St. Mary's Cathedral<br>(1952), The History of Travis County and Austin, 1839-1899 (1963), A History of<br>Central Texas (1970), St. Mary's Church (now a Cathedral) (1972), The History of<br>St. Mary's Cathedral, 1874-1974 (1974), and numerous essays and articles<br>published in local and national periodicals. She also wrote a book on the<br>history of the Austin National Bank, and tried her hand at fiction. In addition<br>to her activities as a writer, Barkley conducted extensive genealogical research<br>about her own family and composed an unpublished family history, "A Four Staff<br>Family".<br><br>Principle organizations Barkley belonged to include: Seton Hospital Auxiliary,<br>the Travis County Historical Survey Committee, the Adoration Convent, Austin<br>National Bank, and St. Mary's Cathedral Parish.<br><br>Mary Starr Barkley succumbed to cancer in 1981.

During the Mexican–American War he served on the staff of Major<br>General J. Pinckney Henderson and fought in the Battle of Monterrey.[2] When the<br>war ended, he served as secretary of state under Governor Elisha M. Pease and as<br>lieutenant governor serving under Governor Sam Houston.[1] When Sam Houston<br>refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, Clark became<br>governor.[2]<br><br>Slave quarters of Edward Clark's home in Austin. He enslaved nine people.<br>Among Clark's first actions was to order the surrender of all fire arms and<br>ammunition from private merchants to the state. Furthermore, all privately owned<br>firearms were to be canvassed. Few weapons were ever turned in and most Texans<br>did not comply for fear of future confiscation.<br><br>After losing the governor's race by 124 votes to Francis Lubbock, Clark became a<br>colonel in the Texas militia during the American Civil War. In 1863 he joined<br>the Confederate States Army and was commissioned colonel of the 14th Texas<br>Infantry Regiment. He commanded the unit, as part of the Greyhound Division,<br>until being wounded in the Battle of Pleasant Hill.[1] A promotion to brigadier<br>general wasn´t confirmed by the Confederate Congress and he left the service;<br>however, in 1865 he was made a brigadier in the militia.

He soon<br>became active in the Texas independence movement and after the Texas Revolution<br>began, Pease became the secretary of the provisional government. He served as<br>the assistant secretary at the Convention of 1836 but was not an elected<br>delegate to the Convention. After independence had been won, Pease was named the<br>comptroller of public accounts in the government of the new but temporary<br>Republic of Texas.<br><br>Texas State<br>Following the annexation of Texas to the United States, Pease was elected to the<br>Texas House of Representatives in 1845 and reelected in 1847. In 1849, he ran<br>for the Texas Senate from District 11 (Brazoria and Galveston counties) but lost<br>to John B. Jones who was sworn in on November 5, 1849. Pease contested the<br>election, was declared the winner, and was sworn in four days later on November<br>9, 1849.<br><br>Pease first ran for governor in 1851 but withdrew from the race two weeks before<br>the election. He was elected in each of the next two elections, 1853 and 1855.<br>As governor, he paid off the state debt and established the financial foundation<br>that the state would later use to finance its schools and colleges.<br><br>In 1856, surveyor Jacob de Córdova of the Galveston, Houston, and Henderson<br>Railroad Company named a newly discovered river in West Texas the "Pease River"<br>after the governor.<br><br><br>The E.

He nonetheless<br>enslaved several people; census records show ten enslaved people living and<br>laboring at Pease's Austin plantation in 1860.[2] After the war, he became a<br>leader in the state Republican Party and was appointed as the civilian governor<br>of Texas in 1867 by General Philip H. Sheridan, who was the military head of the<br>Reconstruction government. Pease's policies as governor alienated both<br>ex-Unionists and ex-Confederates and he resigned in 1869.<br><br>Elisha and his wife donated land to the City of Austin that would eventually<br>become Pease Park.<br><br>Pease died of apoplexy in Lampasas, Texas.

Torborg Lindberg-Carlsson (1908-1980) and other carved wood figures. Tallest 6 7/8", it's the TL figure, the other two I believe are European but not totally sure of carver or even the Country they were made. All approximately the same era. One appears to be signed LL on the base. Selling all three with no issuesTL 1908 - 1980 Torborg Lindberg-Carlsson from Storbäck in Dorotea, Västerbotten. Torborg was born in Högland and then moved at the age of 4 to Röttanberg in Vilhelmina. Torborg found his home in Storbäck. Her creations mainly resulted in the production of smaller statuettes connected to Sami culture. The attention she attracted also led to church decorations in, among others, Ormsjö, Högland's chapel and Risbäck church. At first she carved in aspen, but after a while she switched to Al, which was the material she mainly used, she bought the wood home and let it dry, she had wood for several years lying around to dry.  She usually had a number of figures that were in production where she switched between the figures, on the tray where the figures were usually on the kitchen table where the production took place. Then the figures were painted with watercolor paint in the Southern Sami colors.

9.5" Michael Wainwright/Sandra Baccus Amalfi Salad plate set. Selling the exact 4 plates shown all with no wear or damage. I'm not totally sure if this is the Turquoise Amalfi or a different color designed exclusively for Sandra Baccus whom was a very important collector of African American art among many other things, she donated her multi-million dollar collection after her death in 2012.All Michael Wainwright pieces are finished with real 24K gold and real platinum. These plates are heavy and beautiful. They measure 12.5" in diameter. Many of Wainwrights designs evolved out of studies in Italy, his love of nature, his appreciation of fine art. Because he comes from the Studio ceramic art world, he creates wabi-sabi (the art of imperfection)handmade details in every piece. Inspirations of late, include the Japanese technique of Kintsugi, (Mezza Collection) and artists such as Gustav Klimt, (Vienna Collection) among others. Wainwright created his first collection of tableware in 1991, the same year he founded his company. He initially sold his wares at street fairs and craft markets, but it wasn't long before he was discovered by high-end retailers. By 1995 Wainwright's collections were being sold in national and independent luxury goods stores across the country. Today, Michael Wainwright Inc. has evolved from a one-man operation to a well-established presence in the luxury goods marketplace. His designs can be found in such luxe stores as Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales , as well as smaller fine home stores and boutiques. Wainwright is the sole designer of every piece in his collections. Regardless of material, almost all his work is finished with 24k gold or platinum, and all designed in his Great Barrington, MA studio.
