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.

EXHIBITED MARGARET MELLIS PASTEL
EXHIBITED MARGARET MELLIS PASTEL - "BIG BURDOCK LEAF"Margaret Mellis (Scottish born in China, 1914-2009). "Big Burdock Leaf" pastel on envelope, n.d. Initialed "M.M." twice at lower left and once at lower right. Exhibition label on verso. A wonderful pastel composition on a deconstructed paper envelope by Margaret Mellis mounted behind glass in a custom frame. The composition is true to its title, depicting a bouquet of colorful flowers displayed in a glass vase before a massive Burdock leaf. All is delineated in Mellis' signature expressive style, and a label on the verso indicates that this piece was exhibited at Gainsborough's House Sudbury Suffolk, August 22 to October 18, 1992. In addition to Mellis' undeniable artistry, unique style and format, the theme of this piece is particularly symbolic as Burdock is associated with abundance and has been used in rituals to bring about vitality, prosperity, and virility. Size (artwork): 12" L x 15.5" W (30.5 cm x 39.4 cm) Size (frame): 19.2" L x 22.25" W (48.8 cm x 56.5 cm)
About the artist: "Born in 1914, in China, Margaret Mellis and her family returned to Scotland soon after her birth. She studied at Edinburgh College of Art, where she was taught by SJ Peploe and WG Gillies, and learnt alongside Wilhelmina Barns-Graham and William Gear. In 1933, she went to Paris to study under Andre Lhote, followed by another visit in 1937. In between, in 1936, she met Adrian Stokes; the couple married in 1938. Together, they moved to St Ives, Cornwall, arguably heralding the next wave of artists to the area, with Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Naum Gabo, Terry Frost, Patrick Heron, and Roger Hilton. Before this, she studied for a time at the Euston Road School, before fleeing to Cornwall following the outbreak of war. This move to St Ives coincided with Mellis exploring collage and relief. Created from found materials and paper, these collages were exhibited in New Movements in Art, at the London Museum in 1942. In 1946, following her divorce from Stokes, Mellis met the artist Francis Davison, with whom she moved to London, and then to Cap d' Antibes, in 1947. They married in 1948, and relocated to Walberswick, and later Syleham, Norfolk, in 1950, and then to Suffolk. For much of this time, though both continued to create artworks, neither was widely exhibited in London - they were geographically and, at times, conceptually, distant from life in the capital. This began to change, after Mellis embarked upon a series of large abstract paintings known as 'colour structures'. These were exhibited in London, with solo shows at Grabowski Gallery, in 1969, and then at Basil Jacobs Gallery, in 1972. From both shows, Mellis sold work to important public collections; the Government Art Collection bought a painting from the Basil Jacobs show, in 1972, while a painting had earlier been purchased by the Arts Council of Great Britain, in 1969.
In 1978, Mellis started creating driftwood reliefs, which she found while walking along the local coast at Southwold, and likened the creative process to Surrealist automatism. In the mid-'80s, Mellis was included in several high-profile exhibitions, including the important survey show of St Ives 1939-64, staged at the Tate Gallery, London, in 1985, and later Scottish Art since 1900, at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh. In 1987, the Redfern Gallery staged a retrospective exhibition, from which the Tate and Arts Council bought recent driftwood reliefs. The exhibition was also attended by a young Damien Hirst; intrigued by the driftwood constructions in particular, Hirst wrote to the artist, and was invited to visit Mellis in Southwold, forming a lasting friendship. Mellis was part of the Tate St Ives' inaugural exhibition in 1993, and was the subject of a retrospective that opened at City Art Centre, Edinburgh, and toured the UK, in 1997. Recent exhibitions include Modern Scottish Women 1885-1965, at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, and a joint-show with Damien Hirst at Pier Arts Centre, Orkney. In 2018, her work featured in an exhibition inspired by Virginia Woolf and her writings, at Tate St Ives." (Redfern Gallery website)
