Leon Rene Pescheret Art

American, 1892-1971

An illustrator, watercolorist, etcher, architect, writer, teacher and designer, Leon Pescheret was born in Chiswick, England. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Royal College of Engraving in Kensington, England. He learned the art of one-plate color etchings in Belgium, and at that time was believed to be the only etcher in the United States using that method. He was a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the American Color Print Society, the Society of American Printmakers and the Printmaker's Society of California. Pescheret exhibited with the Buck Hills Art Association in 1948 and 1949, the Southern Printmakers' Society in 1936 and 1937, winning prizes both years, the Chicago Galleries Association in 1951, the Chicago Society of Etchers in 1935, where he won a prize and also at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC in 1936. He was the recipient of the Lila Mae Chapman Award in 1936 and 1937, and the Grand Central Galleries Award. Pescheret's work is included in numerous museum collections, including Art Institute of Chicago, British Museum, Cabinet du Roi, Brussels, Cabinet des Estampes, Brussels, Library of Congress, National Collection of Fine Arts, Washington, DC, New York Public Library, University of Michigan Museum of Art, MI, Whistler House Museum, MA and Wright Museum of Art, WI.

Trichromatic Flower-piece, Richard Hamilton multi color flower still life
By Richard Hamilton
Located in New York, NY
According to Gesine Tosin, Richard Hamilton irritated contemporary critics in the 1970s with a series of works -- romantic images of flowers, still lifes and landscapes, interspersed with scatological motifs. "Once exhibited, the critics regarded the paintings as evidence either of a kinky sexual aberration or an early onset of senility." (Hamilton 1982, p.79. ) Trichromatic flower-piece is one of these works, which questioned the categories of high and low art through its appropriated imagery. In the words of Richard Hamilton: “The Shit and Flowers series was was inspired in a sense by Barcelona, walking on the Ramblas where thousands of postcards are displayed. (…) I bought three pictures of flowers. I took them back to Cadaqués and began to play about with them, at first by putting a little paint on the surface.” According to Andrew Kim Tyler: “Working at Atelier Crommelynck, Paris in 1973-4, Hamilton used a traditional still life subject, a bouquet of flowers, to pursue his interest in the combination of photographic images with planes of color and hand-drawn aspects, but subverting the image with addition of a large turd.
