• SIGNED FRAMED DRAPER PAINTING - USS
  SIGNED FRAMED DRAPER PAINTING - USS YORKTOWN, 1944William Franklin Draper (American, 1912-2003). "USS Yorktown" oil on canvas, 1944. Signed and dated "Wm. F. Draper 3/28/44" on lower right. Titled "USS Yorktown" on lower left. A special painting of the USS Yorktown by combat artist William Draper during World War II. The USS Yorktown was the 10th aircraft carrier used in the United States Navy during WWII. The ship was initially named Bonhomme Richard, and was renamed Yorktown when under construction. Draper presents the ship when docked with a figure admiring her in the foreground. In 1942, Draper joined the Navy, and served as a combat artist when stationed on the Aleutian Islands and in the South Pacific. He observed and painted battle scenes on Bougainville, Guam, Saipan, and other locations, as well as genre scenes of soldiers boxing and engaged in other activities in between combat episodes. A special piece created by Draper during WWII, set in a wooden frame under glass. Size of painting: 8.75" L x 11.75" W (22.2 cm x 29.8 cm) Size of frame: 12.875" L x 16.875" W (32.7 cm x 42.9 cm) National Geographic magazine published four articles by Lt. William Franklin Draper, USNR - including 25 of Draper's war images in four different issues during the WWII era. These included "A Navy Artist Paints the Aleutians - August 1943; "Jungle War: Bougainville and New Caledonia" April 1944; "Painting History in the Pacific" October 1944; and "Victory's Portrait in the Marianas" November 1945). In 1945, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. organized a group exhibition of works by five official war artists, including Draper. That same year the Metropolitan Museum of Art included Draper in an exhibition entitled, ''The War Against Japan.'' Draper was also featured in a PBS television show about combat artists entitled, "They Drew Fire" in May of 2000. William Draper's career spanned seven decades and his subjects included a portrait of John F. Kennedy that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. based upon an oil sketch for which the president sat in 1962. Draper was actually the only artist who painted JFK from life. Draper showed at Knoedler, the Graham Gallery, Portraits, Inc., the Far Gallery, The Findlay Galleries (New York, NY) and the Robert C. Vose Galleries (Boston, MA). His work has been included in shows at the National Portrait Gallery and the Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), The National Academy of Design (New York, NY), The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, (Boston, MA) the Fogg Art Museum, (one of the Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA), the National Gallery, (London), Salon de la Marine (Paris) and in museums in Australia. He also taught at the Art Students League of New York, and received a lifetime achievement award from the Portrait Society of America in 1999. More on the artist's background: William Franklin Draper was born in Hopedale, Massachusetts on December 24, 1912. A child prodigy, he studied classical piano at Harvard University. He later changed his focus to fine art and studied with Charles Webster Hawthorne and Henry Hensche in Provincetown, Rhode Island. Draper also attended the National Academy of Design in New York and the Cape Cod School of Art in Massachusetts. Then he traveled to Spain and studied with Harry Zimmerman, moved on to France and attended the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere. In 1937, he moved to Boston to study sculpture with George Demetrius and also studied with Jon Corbino in beautiful Rockport, Massachusetts. In 1942, Draper joined the Navy and served as a combat artist when stationed on the Aleutian Islands and in the South Pacific. He observed and painted battle scenes on Bougainville, Guam, Saipan, and other locations, as well as genre scenes of soldiers who were not engaged in combat but rather at work and at play. National Geographic magazine reproduced 25 of his war images in four issues in the WWII era. In 1945, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. organized a group exhibition of works by five official war artists, including Draper. That same year the Metropolitan Museum of Art included Draper in an exhibition entitled, ''The War Against Japan.'' Draper was also featured in a PBS television show about combat artists entitled, "They Drew Fire" in May of 2000. After the war, Draper opened a studio on Park Avenue in New York City and continued to not only paint, but also play classical and jazz piano. Provenance: The William F. Draper Collection, New York City, USA, acquired via descent from the late William Franklin Draper (1912-2003), an accomplished American artist whose career spanned seven decades. Known as the "Dean of American Portraiture," William Draper was the only artist to paint President John F. Kennedy from life, and his oeuvre includes marvelous landscapes from his world travels, military paintings as he was one of only seventeen Combat Artists in WWII, and portraits of illustrious individuals.

Genl. Earl Cornwallis , London, 1785, engraving on laid paper with hand colored highlights, sheet (margins folded) 28-1/4 x 21-1/2 in.; black painted and gilt wood frame, 32 x 25 in. Note: During his career, Lieutenant John Hills (23rd Regiment of Foot) produced more than fifty maps, some of which depicted battles that he did not witness firsthand.

As publisher William Faden indicated in the title, the source was an actual survey in the possession of John Hills. Literature: William C. Wooldridge, Mapping Virginia , figure 157, p.175.
