This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for the limited edition collection of The Songbirds of the Fifty States. Each cover was postmarked on the anniversary of statehood in the appropriate state capital. Throughout the central and northern states, the return of the Robin in March is a regular topic of conversation. It means that spring is in the air, heralded by a reliable friend. Within a few days after the males appear in northern yards, the females arrive. Soon the male Robins rend the air with cries as they stake out nesting territories and grapple with rivals. After laying a platform of twigs and grass, the female builds up the walls with mud. And to give the nest just the right shape, she employs her breast, making turn after turn. Soon, the Robin's three to four eggs will hatch and a new generation of Robins will grace the countryside. Image Size: 8.5 x 8.75 in. Overall Size: 18 x 18 in. Unframed.

• DON BALKE (B. 1933) "RUFOUS-SIDED
  DON BALKE (B. 1933) "RUFOUS-SIDED TOWHEE"Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Rufous-sided Towhee" Signed middle right. Original Watercolor on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for the limited edition collection of The Songbirds of the Fifty States. Each cover was postmarked on the anniversary of statehood in the appropriate state capital. A mysterious rustling draws eyes to a nearby pile of leaves. Perhaps a family of squirrels is playing or a dog is burying a bone. A closer look reveals a surprise. A single bird, the Rufous-sided Towhee, is responsible for all the commotion as he rummages for insects amid the autumn leaves. Then, in a burst of color, he takes to the air, crying his name in loud, clear notes. This handsome bird is well known in the northeastern United States. He arrives there in late April to woo a mate with his drawn out song. Unlike the brightly clothed male bird, the female is a rather drab creature. But, her mottled brown appearance serves her well when predators approach her nest. Because of her dull coloration, an observer can get within a few feet of the nest without spying her or the young she guards. If her nest is in immediate danger, the mother bird may feign a broken wing to divert the predator's attention. In spite of the protection the family provides the nestlings, they soon leave their home to live a life of solitude. Even when winter's first frost nips the air, the Towhees do not form migratory flocks like other birds. Instead, the single sojourners slip away from their home alone, flying by night to a warmer climate. Image Size: 8.5 x 8.75 in. Overall Size: 18 x 18 in. Unframed.

• NATHAN RAPOPORT, NEW YORK / RUSSIAN
  NATHAN RAPOPORT, NEW YORK / RUSSIAN FEDERATION, POLAND (1911 - 1987), JACOB WRESTLING THE ANGEL, 1966, BRONZE, 13 1/2"H X 11"W X 5"DNathan Rapoport, New York / Russian Federation, Poland, (1911 - 1987) Jacob Wrestling the Angel, 1966, bronze Signed to base. Biography from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY Nathan Rapoport was born in 1911 in Warsaw, Poland to a poor but extremely religious Jewish family. He was the grandson of Hasidim: one grandfather was a cantor; the other a shochet [ritual slaughterer]. As a child he belonged to Hashomer Hatsa'ir [Young Guard of the Zionist Left Wing], and attended Hebrew school. However, he had to leave school to help support the family. Rapoport trained as an architectural apprentice and at age 14 entered a municipal art school and studied sculpture. He attended the Academy of Art in Warsaw and won awards for his architectural, metal, and sculptural work and commissions for portrait busts that helped pay his tuition. He received scholarships to study at the Fine Arts Academy in Paris and to travel to Italy. Throughout the 1930s, he entered and won many competitions. In 1936, his piece, The Tennis Player, was submitted by the Polish government for exhibition in Berlin as part of the Summer Olympics, but Rapoport refused to let it be shown in Nazi Germany. In June 1939, Rapoport left Paris and returned to Warsaw. When Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, Rapoport fled the city to join the Polish army which was regrouping in the forests between Warsaw and Bialystok. Unable to locate the army, Rapoport, along with other Jewish refugees, fled east into Soviet-controlled territory. Refugees who could provide skills deemed valuable by the state were allowed to stay in the Soviet Union. Rapoport identified himself as an artist and joined a collective of 120 Jewish artists in Bialystok which provided food, clothing and housing. Members of the Communist Party Arts Committee arrived from Minsk, looking for works for an upcoming exhibition. Rapoport's work impressed the committee and they moved him to a studio in Minsk where he worked alongside another Jewish artist. Several of his pieces were shown at this exhibition. While in Minsk, the 2nd secretary of the Party, Kulagin, visited Rapoport's studio and commissioned several state projects. On June 26, 1941, the Germans captured Minsk after a surprise attack on the Soviet Union, and Rapoport and his wife were evacuated to Alma Alta. Rapoport was forced to leave his family and was shipped to a forced labor prison camp in Novosibirsk, Siberia. Rapoport learned that his former patron, Kulagin, now the 1st secretary of the Party, was based in Novosibersk. The two met and Kulagin moved Rapoport out of the camp and into a studio. He provided Rapoport with food and vodka; Rapoport used the alcohol as currency to purchase supplies. Recommissioned as state sculptor, he created sculptures of people the state deemed worth remembering, such as people and heroes of the Patriotic War. He spent the remainder of the war living and working in Russia until he was repatriated to Warsaw in early 1946. Both his mother and sister perished during the Holocaust. In 1947 Rapoport presented a model to the Warsaw Jewish Committee. The model commemorated the Warsaw ghetto uprising, which began on April 19, 1943, when Jewish residents of the ghetto, faced with deportation, resisted German forces. It ended on May 16, 1943, with the destruction of the ghetto. The committee accepted his design with the provision that it must be completed by the anniversary of the uprising on April 19, 1948. Soon after the dedication, Rapoport emigrated to the newly established state of Israel where he lived until immigrating to the United States in 1959, becoming a citizen in 1965. Rapoport produced multiple, large scale, public works memorializing the Holocaust throughout the world, including Yad Vashem and Kibbutz Yad Mordecai in Israel and monuments in Philadelphia and New York City. He died in New York City on June 6, 1987. At the time of his death, he was divorced and survived by a daughter. He was 76 years old. Emu Biography: Nathan Rapaport also designed a monument to the Warsaw ghetto uprising which was unveiled in 1948. bronze Dimensions: 13 1/2"H x 11"W x 5"D
