- GUB MARINE CHRONOMETER WITH POWER RESERVE
GUB MARINE CHRONOMETER WITH POWER RESERVE 9 ¼" x 11 ¾" x 9 ?" tall Glaschutte, a German city in the old state of Saxony, became the cradle of German watch making. WWII converted all effort to the manufacture of military time pieces. Post WWII, most original Glaschutte watch companies, had lost much of their talent, as well as suffering Soviet machinery confiscations. In 1951 an east German state owned conglomerate was formed, pulling together all the talent of the companies in Glaschutte, including today's recognizable A. Lange & Sohne, and formed VEB Glashutter Uhrenbetriebe (GUB); to manufacture primarily marine chronometers. A. Lange & Sohne was gone in 1948 as a private company, and would have to wait until reunification to reappear as a new entity. GUB would develop mechanical wristwatch movements, even through the quartz crisis era, which would become the foundation of today's proprietary premium watch movements of Glashutte original. GUB became Glashutte original in 1994, after privatization of the state owned company. GUB made very good quality timepieces, far superior to many contemporaries of the time; but should not be confused with the haute horology, 1990 relaunch of the defunct A. Lange & Shone brand. VEB-GUB, loosely translates to publicly owned Glaschutte clock (timepiece)

Accompanying the painting is a Cloar promotional postcard, on which the artist has written a note regarding the painting: "Mr. Massie: I have used the word "detail" in the old Army sense. In our army you were detailed to do a certain job, or were on a detail. My show opens at Schmidt Bingham Gallery in New York May 24. - Carroll Cloar ". Biography (Courtesy of The Johnson Collection): Arkansas-born Carroll Cloar was known for incorporating nostalgic images from his Southern childhood, often merged with dreamlike motifs, into powerful "magic realist" scenes. Cloar graduated from Southwestern College (now Rhodes College) in Memphis, Tennessee, and went on to study at the Memphis Academy of Arts under the artist George Oberteuffer. In 1936, he moved to New York to attend the Art Students League. There, Cloar's achievements earned him a McDowell fellowship which he used to travel across the American Southwest, West Coast and Mexico. Cloar served with the Army Air Corps during World War II and was deployed to Saipan and Iwo Jima. Upon his return from the war, he was awarded a Guggenheim traveling scholarship to fund an extended sojourn to Central and South America in 1946. Two years later, several of his images were featured in a Life Magazine article titled "Backwoods Boyhood," and Cloar's career went on to receive additional national acclaim. By the mid 1950s, Cloar had settled permanently in Memphis, where he produced paintings, often executed in casein tempera and acrylic paints. His works are in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Brooks Museum of Art, and Library of Congress. In 1993, Cloar's painting "Faculty and Honor Students, Lewis Schoolhouse" was one of six paintings by American artists selected to commemorate the inauguration of President Clinton.

- ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE OINOCHOE W/ ACHILLES,
ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE OINOCHOE W/ ACHILLES, EX-CHRISTIE'SAncient Greece, Athens (Attic), ca. 530 BCE. Finely decorated via the black-figure technique with incised and added fugitive red painted details, a beautiful trefoil oinochoe featuring the scene of a warrior - perhaps Achilles - readying himself for battle; the nude figure bending over to put on his greaves as a high-crested Corinthian helmet rests at his feet and a draped woman, possibly Achille's mother Thetis, and a young man stand to either side. Greaves and ankle guards were hammered from sheet bronze and retained considerable tensile strength, allowing them to be snapped onto the raised leg, as seen here. The woman watches while holding the warrior's spear and shield, serving as an attendant. Behind him, the nude youth holds another spear, likely waiting to arm himself as well. A band of tongues decorates the area above, just below the trefoil spout of the vessel. Though the warrior's armor indicates he may be a hoplite, this may also be a representation of the arming of Achilles by his mother Thetis. Size: 4.2" Diameter x 7.4" H (10.7 cm x 18.8 cm)
According to Homer's Iliad, during the last year of the Trojan war, Patroclus, Achilles’s beloved friend, dons Achilles' armor in order to scare the Trojans back from the beaches of Greece. He succeeds in doing so but is killed by Hector and stripped of the armor in the process, leaving Achilles grief-stricken and armorless. Thetis comes to comfort her son and, after seeing his deep despair, persuades Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and craftsmen, to forge him new armor. The god accepts and makes a shield, a breastplate, a helmet, and greaves, which Thetis delivers to Achilles, as seen in this example. Enraged, Achilles then returns to battle with the sole aim of avenging Patroclus’ death by killing Hector, despite a warning that doing so would cost him his life. After defeating Hector, Achilles drags his corpse by the heels behind his chariot.
Athens mandated that all 18- to 20-year-olds participate in military service; however, during times of war, all male citizens through the age of 60 could be asked to serve. Hoplites carried a large, round, bronze-faced shield known as a hoplon in one hand, as seen in this example, and, in the other, an eight-foot-long wooden spear with a leaf-shaped iron head and a bronze butt spike. The butt spike was known as a sauroter, a "lizard killer," and, if the spear was broken, could be used as a weapon on the remaining end. It could also be used to stand the spear in soft ground or as a digging tool.
Scenes of warriors preparing for battle were quite popular in Ancient Greece and can be found on vessels in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (06.1021.164a, b), the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge University (GR.6.1917), the Louvre (E813), Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (PC60), and the Athens Agora Museum (P24360).
