The Un-cane-y World of CanesPosted: August 26, 2010, Last Updated: August 26, 2010 | Bill Rau  Canes and walking sticks, upon first mention, sound perhaps like the least interesting objects in the world to collect. Nothing could be further from the truth. There was a time when no well-heeled gentleman or lady would have been seen in public without his or her walking stick. These often elegantly decorated sticks were not used to give support for walking, but were accessories that were actually “worn” and were, in many instances, symbols of status and wealth. Many examples, especially those dated between the 19th and early 20th centuries, are made of materials such as ...

What to look for in a painting by James Edward Buttersworth.Posted: August 25, 2010, Last Updated: August 25, 2010 | James Puzinas  James E. Buttersworth (1817-1894), was a 19th century artist that many consider to be one of the finest American marine painters of his time. Paintings by Buttersworth have been treasured and collected by museums and collectors for many generations. Although some of his works may be purchased for less than $100K, strong examples of his most desirable paintings can be worth hundreds of thousands dollars. If you are considering acquiring a work by this artist, there are several factors to keep in mind. The Gold Standard – Not just any yachting scene, but an America’s Cup yachting ... Chinese Export PorcelainPosted: August 19, 2010, Last Updated: August 19, 2010 | Norton Museum of Art  Upon entering the Hodroff Gallery at the Norton Museum, visitors are greeted by a deluge of colors sparkling from the surfaces of a multitude of porcelain objects. There are wares decorated solely in blue and white, with colors ranging from a deep violet-blue to paler hues. Elegant scrolling motifs, often depicting leaves and other floral designs, adorn these objects, as do narrative scenes, dragons and phoenixes. Deeper into the gallery, rich greens, pinks, golds, and reds accent flowers, animals, figures, and armorial designs. The shapes and sizes of these porcelains range from ... Fitz Henry Lane as art teacher to William BradfordPosted: August 04, 2010, Last Updated: August 09, 2010 | James A. Craig  Ever since scholars began to pry into the life of the 19th century American marine painter Fitz Henry (formerly Hugh) Lane, they have been aware of Lane’s role as an art instructor to a Mrs. Mary Mellen, a personal friend of Lane’s and the unfortunate possessor of limited artistic skills. So narrow has the academic focus been upon Mary Mellen that over time a belief has arisen declaring her to have been Lane’s only student. Yet in-depth analysis of significant paintings combined with new testimony penned by a Mr. John Trask, Fitz Henry Lane’s next door ... A Force BrewingPosted: July 16, 2010, Last Updated: July 19, 2010 | Louis M. Salerno, Owner ![George Bellows (1882–1925) Flaming Breaker, 1913. Oil on panel, 15 x 19 ½ inches. Signed lower left: G W Bellows; inscribed on verso: Flaming Spray [spray is crossed out] Breaker Geo Bellows 146 E 19 NY A 187](/images/cache/July19_Bellows-FlamingBreaker180x137.jpg?1279558434) Perhaps we should be grateful that world events occasionally derail us from the deeply grooved course of modern society so that we are forced to consider our own journey. We seek a reference to gauge the nature of our own experience and art has a vital role in this process. The economic disruption and disillusionment of recent times has increased our awareness of this quality and refocused our attention on the art that is personally meaningful. As a dealer observing the ebb and flow of the American art market, I detect a fundamental change in the way collectors perceive the ... Frank Vining Smith: Maritime Painting in the 20th CenturyPosted: July 14, 2010, Last Updated: July 14, 2010 | Julie Carlson Wildfeuer  The marine art of Frank Vining Smith (1879-1967) has become part of America's collective consciousness. When we envision a wind-propelled sailing ship plying the high seas, often the image in our mind's eye is inspired by, if not actually painted by, Smith. Prints of his ship paintings adorn seafood restaurant walls, original oils grace art museums and corporate office suites, and his best works now inspire collectors to bid upwards of $25,000 at auctions. The life and work of this beloved artist of America's great age of sail has finally been rightfully recognized with the ...
