PAUL SAWYIER O/B, VALE OF CASHMERE,PAUL SAWYIER O/B, VALE OF CASHMERE, PROSPECT PARKPaul Sawyier (American, 1865-1917) oil on board impressionist landscape titled "Vale of Cashmere, Prospect Park, Brooklyn". Depicts a path alongside the park's reflecting pool, surrounded by flowering bushes and trees, and set under a partly cloudy sky. Signed lower left. Fragment of original title label secured to back of giltwood frame. Sight - 13 1/2"H x 16 1/2"W. Framed - 20 1/4"H x 23 1/4"W. History: The Vale of Cashmere was originally part of a formal garden in Prospect Park (designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in the mid-19th century). The secluded area eventually fell into near abandonment, but is currently the subject of a restoration effort. Biography: Paul Sawyier is regarded as one of Kentucky's most important painters, and one of the few to work successfully in the Impressionist style. Sawyier was born in Ohio but moved to the Bluegrass State as a child. He studied portraiture at the Cincinnati Art Academy, and went on to New York to study at the Art Student's League under William Merritt Chase. He also studied with painter Frank Duveneck in Covington, Kentucky and abroad, before returning to Frankfort, Kentucky. There he painted landscapes and portraits. From 1908 to 1913 he lived on a houseboat, moving up and down the Kentucky River and painting landscapes. In 1913, he made the decision to leave Kentucky and moved to Brooklyn; in 1915, he moved to the Catskill Mountains, although he continued to paint Kentucky scenes from photographs and send them back home. He died in New York of a heart attack at age 52. (source: Askart: The Artists' Bluebook). Provenance - Lexington, Kentucky area collection.

Excerpt from Hunt Prothro Pottery:Excerpt from Hunt Prothro Pottery: "I studied with Marguerite Wildenhain at her Pond Farm CA studio/school during the 70's and I've been working as a potter ever since. Currently I fire to cone 10 working in porcelain using washes of stains and underglazes over a textured and sometimes manipulated form/surface. I glaze using a thin solution of pure Gerstley Borate which resembles a patina more than a glaze. The inside of the pot is often painted in counterpoint to the exterior related but distinct. The rim is a third area a point of transition; it's a zone of change with all the attendant hesitations and gestures of finality. I work within these parameters as a poet works within a narrow mythic form.'' ''Each piece represents a specific authoritative yet ambiguous point in time and space. There is no narrative save the one inculcate in the making of each piece. But this non-narrative tells a story an ancient story of beginnings and endings with the recapitulated density of material memory and the suggestion of consummated desire. Physicality matters and heft is important yet the work remains weightless like a bird leaving a nest.''''I follow my fingers reaching into the bones of the form beneath the encrusted surfaces through the layers of translucent washes to the point of a transient singularity where touch pushes back again like the wind in the trees.''
