BYRON BURFORD (AMERICAN, 1920-2011)Byron Burford
American, 1920-2011
The Tournabouni Twins , 1983
Aquatint, signed and titled, edition of 250
Two young women back-to-back in matching kimono wielding crosses, unframed.
Byron Leslie Burford, Jr., born July 12, 1920, in Jackson, Mississippi, blossomed as a young artist
in a fascination with the carnivals and circuses booked by his YMCA director father, before leaving at age 14 to work as a roadie for the Tom Mix Circus, all the while using his exposure to circus life as inspiration for his work.
Burford studied at the University of Iowa School of Art and Art History, where he mentored by Grant Wood. In 1941 Burford completed a commission for the Treasury Department's Section of Painting and Sculpture, a mural for the U.S. post office in Houston, Mississippi. He received his bachelor's degree in 1942 and, after a brief stint in the Air Corps during Word War II, completed his Master of Fine Arts degree in 1947. He would continue at University of Iowa for 38 years as a painting instructor - developing a camaraderie with Kurt Vonnegut, who taught at the Iowa Writers' Workshop for two years in the 1960s.
Burford's academic success did not defer him from his aesthetic interest in circus life, and continued to subject soldiers, athletes, jazz musicians, factory workers and circus people in his work. A well-known artist in the Midwest, Burford exhibited widely and received many honors and awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1960 and a grant from the National Academy of Arts and Letters in 1967.

James Barry (Irish active in
James Barry (Irish active in Italy and England 1741-1806) "A Group of Recumbent Figures Huddled Among Blankets" 1792 ink and wash on laid paper with all corners missing but made up on backing card dated in English "March 1792" at lower left 6 5/8 x 8 1/8 in. perhaps signed or inscribed en verso(?); laid down on card stock 7 1/8 x 8 7/8 in. the latter inscribed en verso in 20th c. black ink "Master of the Giants-James (Burry) / -Barry / Byrny" and in mid-20th c. red pencil "Fuseli [sic] / Christie's Auction / April 1961". Provenance: Christie's London (1961); purchased there by James R. Lamantia Jr. New Orleans and New York.Note: Though Lamantia bought this impressive drawing as a "Fuseli" (at a Christie's auction that he attended personally in April 1961 per his note on the outer mount) his question-mark preceding that name indicates that he (correctly) did not fully endorse Christie's attribution. The alternative ascriptions entered in black ink at the top of the verso-though mutually contradictory-are respectively equally mistaken and right on the mark. This fine drawing actually has nothing whatever to do with the so-called "Master of the Giants " a gifted amateur artist working in transparent black and grey washes in Rome in 1779 as recorded on various sheets of a now-dismembered notebook which suggested his name (purchased 1949 exhibited London 1952 separate sheets at the Fogg Art Museum Harvard University [1964] and recently [2002] with Lowell Libson London). The three alternate readings of the name of James Barry however do plausibly indicate that an inscription or signature was formerly visible (perhaps on the reverse of the pasted-down sheet) and that those various options were observed in its lettering. James Barry was born in Cork and trained in Dublin (1763) London (1764) Paris (1765) Rome (1766-70) and Bologna (1771). In London he was elected to the Royal Academy in 1773 and became its Professor of Painting in 1782. His masterpiece was a series of huge canvases representing The Progress of Human Culture which he executed for the Society of Arts in 1777-84; he was expelled from the R. A. in 1799 as a result of his eccentricity and irascibility though at the end he was awarded a funeral and burial in St. Paul's Cathedral. This rare dated drawing is emblematic of Barry's later work with its heavy jagged lines its idiosyncratic shading and its compression of emotionally charged forms-in "a coagulation of bodies" (as Tomory observed) or "a fantasy of intertwining shapes.achieving an expressionistic power rare in British art" (Cummings).References: William L.
