• OWEN J. GROMME (1896-1991)Wild Turkeys,
  OWEN J. GROMME (1896-1991)Wild Turkeys, 1943 signed and dated "Owen Gromme 43" lower right oil on canvas, 30 by 24 in. The successful reintroduction of the wild turkey to nearly the entirety of its historical range of North America is one of the great conservation stories of the last century. The onslaught of this majestic bird began with the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. The number of wild turkey at the time of their arrival was, by some estimations, as many as ten million birds. Clear-cutting, a common practice in the colonies, destroyed the forests where the turkey made its home. As a result of the loss of its habitat, by 1700 local bird populations had dwindled. Benjamin Franklin was an early admirer of the wild turkey and in a letter to his daughter in 1784, he pronounced his displeasure over the choice of the bald eagle as the national bird instead of the iridescent bronze game bird. John James Audubon (1785-1851) reported seeing wild turkeys by the hundreds along the Upper Mississippi in 1810. By 1951 the entire population in North America was estimated at a little over 300,000 birds with a legal annual harvest in fifteen states of 47,000 birds. This clearly unsustainable quota placed the bird in dire straits. Due to the tireless effort of conservation groups and hunters around the country, by 1999 the wild turkey population had rebounded to over five million birds, present in forty-nine of the fifty United States. This work, completed in 1943, was painted at a time when turkey stocks were at near collapse. The Spanish moss in the background places the work in the South, which due to its extensive habitat, was one of the wild turkey’s last bastions for the surviving population. Owen Gromme was born in Wisconsin in 1896, and he spent much of his childhood hunting in the wetlands and forests near his home. Gromme made his career as the Curator of Birds and Mammals at the Milwaukee Public Museum, staying in this position for over four decades. In this capacity, he traveled across the United States, as well as to Africa, documenting the wildlife he encountered. Although he was a high-school dropout, by the time of his death in 1991 Owen Gromme had received five honorary doctorates, as well as published "Birds of Wisconsin," which he also illustrated. Known for his conservation activism, his paintings reflect his love of the outdoors.

• RICHARD E. BISHOP (1887-1975)Prairie
  RICHARD E. BISHOP (1887-1975)Prairie Wings, 1945 signed and dated "Richard E Bishop '45 ©" lower left oil on canvas, 30 by 25 in. signed, titled, and dated on back An edition of "Prairie Wings" by Edgar M. Queeny, published by Ducks Unlimited in 1946 accompanies the lot. In 1946, Edgar Queeny published "Prairie Wings" through Ducks Unlimited. It is now one of the most important books on waterfowl ever written. He studied the landing patterns of birds over Wingmead, his 14,000 acre property in Arkansas, which had three named green tree reservoirs: Wingmead, Paddlefoot, and Greenwood. Queeny was an active patron of Bishop's and partnered with the artist for the many illustrations throughout the book, including the color frontispiece. Queeny wrote, “Dick’s paintings and etchings of wildfowl are outstanding because he is not only a superb artist but a topnotch engineer! As a result of his engineering training and his understanding of aerodynamics, mechanics of flight and the anatomy of birds came as second nature to him…the results are portraits of birds as they really fly!” Bishop’s original drawings and Queeny’s photographs from "Prairie Wings" were donated by Thomas K. Figge to the John L. Wehle Gallery of Sporting Art at the Genesee Country Village & Museum in 1986, where they remain in the permanent collection. This famous frontispiece for "Prairie Wings" comes from the collection of Joseph N. Pew Jr., the Sun Oil heir, philanthropist, and avid sportsman. He hunted and fished in Nova Scotia, started the Pew Charitable Trusts, and likely encountered Edgar M. Queeny in New York’s Links Club, where both were members. Provenance: Joseph N.

• PAUL BOUGH TRAVIS (AMERICAN, 1891-1975)
  PAUL BOUGH TRAVIS (AMERICAN, 1891-1975) AFRICAN WATERHO...Paul Bough Travis (American, 1891-1975) African Waterhole, 1956 Watercolor on paper Signed and dated lower edge 19 in. h. x 25 in. w., paper 22 in. h. x 28 in. w., as matted Paul Travis, among the most predictive, sensitive and talented artists of the Cleveland School was born in Wellsville, Ohio near the border of Pennsylvania. Paul Travis became a painter, lithographer, etcher, and teacher, living in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. His name is closely associated with the watercolor tradition of Northeast Ohio. He graduated from the Cleveland School of Art where he was a student of Henry Keller, the renowned tonalist painter. Travis studied there for five years where he became a protégé of Keller’s, and also encountered Charles Burchfield and Frank Wilcox, all of whom later became acknowledged members of the Cleveland School. Travis remained friends with Burchfield and Wilcox for the rest of his life. Travis served in the Army in World War I, and while serving, he completed a prolific body of war related paintings and drawings. He spent most of the remainder of the war in Le Mans, but also traveled widely throughout France, painting and sketching. After the war he was appointed as an art teacher at the American Forces University of Beaune. In 1920, he returned to Ohio to teach at the Cleveland School, renamed the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1940. In addition he also taught at Western Reserve University beginning in 1956. In 1928, at the age of 36, Travis used a sabbatical from teaching to take a much celebrated eight-month trip to Africa. Travis’s trip was sponsored by a number of Cleveland-area organizations, including The Gilpin Players of Karamu House, the African Art Sponsors, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Travis traveled roughly the same path as famed British explorer Henry Morton Stanley, from Cape Town, South Africa, to Cairo, Egypt. This trip motivated Travis to prolific production. Along the way, Travis sketched, took video and photographs, and collected artifacts. The artwork and artifacts Travis amassed during his 1928 trip through Africa went into the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and Karamu House. The Cleveland Museum of Art received works Travis collected from the Mangbetu people while in the northeastern part of Congo, and as of June 2010, the museum owns 71 pieces of art created by Travis himself. Some of Travis’s diary entries, letters, and film footage have been stored in the Smithsonian‘s Archives of American Art. By the time the Cleveland Museum of Art held its 52nd May Show in 1971, Travis had exhibited and won regularly in all 52 shows. Dan Tranberg of the Cleveland Plain Dealer called Travis’ work “ some of the most historically significant art this city has ever produced.” In 2001 the Cleveland Artist’s Foundation published a retrospective of Travis’ work. Travis’ work is unique and important. Unlike many American artists of the period who painted their regional rolling hills and local city scenes Travis’ art often expressed the most important emotions and concerns of the 20th century; global colonization and exploitation, racism and inhumanity, the bomb and global apocalypse. Travis’ sensitivity in much of his subject matter underscores the predictive nature of some artists. In many compositions Travis clearly raised flags about these issues that would later consume the entire world. Memberships included the American Society for Aesthetics; Cleveland Society for Aesthetics, which in 1946 he served as President; Cleveland Museum of Modern Art; and the Archaeological Institute of America. Some early exhibition venues included The Cleveland Museum of Art, 1920-1958; The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; The Brooklyn Museum; The Museum of Modern Art; The Art Institute of Chicago; Golden Gate Exposition, 1939; Carnegie Institute; Corcoran Gallery Biennials; Pasadena Art Institute, 1946; Butler Art Institute, 1936-1958; Ohio Watercolor Society, and Cleveland Art Association.
