- Edward I.R. Jennings (American/South
Edward I.R. Jennings (American/South Carolina 1828-1929) "Indigo Culture in South Carolina" and "Cotton and the Cotton-Gin The South in 1800" c. 1924 two dioramas with painted and cut-out elements glass and painted wood cases each 17 in. x 20 3/4 in. x 10 in. Provenance: The Charleston Museum. Note: Charleston Museum Director Laura Bragg envisioned these dioramas as traveling museum exhibits in the 1920s. They were available to teachers for classroom use on topics ranging from early civilization to more recent local history such as the production of cotton and indigo. Each box had a space for printed materials and could be folded up for easy transportation. To create the displays Bragg enlisted artist Edward I.R. "Ned" Jennings (1898-1929). An active but mysterious participant in the Charleston Renaissance Jennings had an interest in art theatrics which he combined in work as a set designer and which made him the perfect artist to create these small stages. Jennings was one of the few Charleston artists of the 1920s to experiment with modernist art.

ERIK NITSCHE (1908 - 1998) "IRIS"Erik Nitsche (Swiss, 1908 - 1998) "Iris - Manuscript Illumination" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Germany 80 + 40pf Medieval Manuscript Illumination stamp issued October 15, 1985.
Although illumination is widely regarded as a medieval artform par excellence, it traces its origins back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. The classical artists illustrated text with a continuous chronological sequence of scenes, often filling an entire page. The subjects were idealized yet lifelike -- human forms painted against a background of classical architecture. The colors used were ever-so-delicate and the works showed a quite realistic perspective. The illuminated artform grew more popular as people used it to preserve and pass on their religious beliefs. Indeed, there came a time when the chief purpose of illumination was to glorify the Scriptures. At first, the artisans who created these illuminating works were monks working anonymously out of humble devotion to the Scriptures. Often rich princes and churchmen commissioned entire volumes of the Scriptures, theological works and other religious writings as an act of great piety. Later, as wealth and worldly interests increased, illuminating artists were often famous professional laymen who created both secular and religious illuminations. These illuminations were commissioned by private individuals, often moved as much by personal pleasure as by devotion to God. The Iris -- depicted on this original artwork -- was among the figures which were often hand-painted on manuscripts by devoted medieval monks. It symbolized the bridge between heaven and earth and the pact between God and Man.
