Artist: Edmund Davenport
Top of the World, Saturday Evening Post Cover
By Edmund Davenport
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Signature: Signed Lower Right
Sight Size 38.25" x 29.25", Framed 45" x 35"
Cover of The Saturday Evening Post Magazine, June 13, 1925
Edmund Davenport was a New Yorker and a successful illustrator in the 1920’s. He painted covers for Women’s Home Companion and The Saturday Evening Post, and at the same time, he worked in the art department of Paramount Studios.
At the time of this publication, a young woman’s graduation from college was a rare accomplishment, and the opportunities for employment that required a college diploma, were even rarer. Nevertheless, it was a good reason for this pretty, young woman to be sitting on top of the world in the vicinity of “cloud nine.” “Top of the World” appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post on June 13, 1925.

18th century allegorical painting of The Triumph of Beauty
Located in London, GB
Exhibited:
London, Royal Academy, 1800, no. 93
What was happening in British history painting in around 1800? In recent discussions of the emergence of a British School of history painting following the foundation of the Royal Academy in 1768, this is a question which is rarely posed and one which is not easily answered. Examination of surviving Royal Academy exhibition catalogues reveals a profusion of artists’ names and titles, few of which remain immediately recognizable, whilst endeavours to explain the impact of exhibition culture on painting - such as the 2001 Courtauld show Art on the Line - have tended to focus on the first and second generation of Royal Academician, rather than young or aspiring artists in the early nineteenth century. This makes the discovery and identification of the work under discussion of exceptional importance in making sense of currents in English painting around 1800. Executed by Edward Dayes...

Mid-Century Modern Man - Portrait in Oil on Canvas
Located in Soquel, CA
Subtle and moody portrait of a Pensive man by Joan Tidwell (American, 1930-2002). The sitter in the portrait is a middle-aged man looking slightly downwards, wearing a collared shirt. This piece is completed in a tan and green palette, creating a somber feeling. Of particular note are the confident, thick brushstrokes - each one is well-placed in the modernist style. Similar in some ways to Picasso's portraits.
