BLUE AND WHITE 'MERMAID' LIDDED TEAPOT
QING DYNASTY, KANGXI PERIOD, CIRCA 1710 ??? ?1710? ????????of quadrangular ovoid form, attached with a square section handle and straight spout, either side of the body finely painted with a mermaid among reeds with a large fish rising in a pond, the square lid adorned with flower branches and topped with finial(1)19cm wideProvenance: Private collection, LondonNote: The decoration, originated from a European engraving of 1676 by S. Le Clerc, illustrated the story of Dirce - one of Venus's less successful rivals who, as a punishment for rivalling her in beauty, was turned into a mermaid and made to fall in love with a carp.According to David S. Howard's research, "a small number of these teapots are known and the design was clearly specially commissioned - possibly even including the shape of the teapot to accommodate a rectangular engraving." A very similar example is illustrated in his publication The Choice of the Private Trader: Private Market in Chinese Export Porcelain Illustrated from the Hodroff Collection, published by Zwemmer, London, 1994, no. 154, p. 145. Another example in the collection of Groninger Museum, the Netherlands, is illustrated in La Porcelaine des Compagnies des Indes a? De?cor Occidental, by Franc?ois et Nicole Hervoue?t, Flammarison, Paris, 1986, p. 309.The engraving by S.

- THEODORE B. VILLA MIXED MEDIA "NATIVE
THEODORE B. VILLA MIXED MEDIA "NATIVE AMERICAN CEREMONI...Theodore B. Villa (b. 1936 ) Mixed Media Ink and Pen on Hand Wove Paper "Native American Ceremonial Dress Shirt" ,signed in pencil at the base of the left sleeve Theodore B. Villa, framed.
45 in. x 66 in
. Born in Santa Barbara, California, Theodore Villa was raised by his maternal grandmother of White Mountain Apache (Coyotero) and Spanish ancestry. He gained a Bachelors of Fine Arts, followed by a Masters, at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His grandmother's stories and legends are one of the primary sources through which Villa culls his inspiration for his watercolor paintings. Rendered in vibrant washes, the compositions reverberate with echoes from the past while delivering their message in dynamic contemporary terms. A tactile quality carries throughout his works, beads render a shiny brilliance, buckskin looks like hand-tanned leather, fur looks real and feathers warrant closer inspection. In opposition to most static museum displays, Theodore's works have life, motion and humor. Fringe floats, balance emerges ”that between illusion and allusion.
Since the mid 1960s Villa has exhibited works in one man gallery shows as well as museums and Universities in the West, and also throughout the U.S. and Europe, including:
