Jessie Arms Botke
The White Peacock

1922

About the Item

A painting by Jessie Arms Botke. "The White Peacock" is a wildlife impressionist painting, oil on canvas in a palette of whites, blues, and browns by female, American artist Jessie Arms Botke. The artwork is signed in the lower left, "JESSIE ARMS BOTKE, 1922". Jessie Hazel Arms Botke was an American female artist who hold a high place in the California School of Impressionism. She was born in Chicago in 1883, and became known for her exotic, highly decorated bird studies -- most often, they are pictures of birds, a large variety including white peacocks, blue peacocks, cockatoos, ducks, swans, geese, pheasants, and toucans, among others. The birds are shown in natural settings accompanied by carefully painted flora, her paintings are richly adorned with an abundance of detail. She also did other subjects including Indian figures, genre, and desert landscapes, and usually painted in oil but worked in watercolor and gouache and frequently used gold and silver leaf in backgrounds. Provenance: Sale, Auction, 2005 Private Collection, Ohio

  • Tupha latifolia
    By Penelope Gottlieb
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    A work by Penelope Gottlieb. "Tupha latifolia" is acrylic and ink over an Audubon print by contemporary, female artist Penelope Gottlieb. The artwork is signed in the lower right, "PG". After receiving her BFA from the Art Center College for Design in Pasadena, Penelope Gottlieb went on to earn her MFA from the University of California in Santa Barbara where she currently lives and works. Gottlieb’s artistic repertoire is thoroughly modern and includes innovative paintings as well as compelling media design, for which she received an Emmy in the field of motion picture title design in 1993. Gottlieb’s more recent works showcase a unique synthesis of her modern graphic design background and the vintage botanical renderings of natural scientists. However, her paintings are also unique in their perspective on the traditional floral still life. Stylized flora and fauna are depicted as emanating from a comic book explosion, illustrating what the artist refers to as “the dire state of the planet” as faced with species extinction and the resulting biological and ecological ramifications. These violent representations of the artistically typified placid natural world are intended as “visual eulogies for lost plant life.” The particular specimens that Gottlieb depicts are in fact extinct and she is able to recreate them only from historical drawings and botanist’s descriptions. Although avant-garde and aesthetically unique, Gottlieb’s paintings delineate clear influences from the renowned artists of Pop and Expressionist art. The composition of many of her paintings is reminiscent of Kandinsky’s canvas-filling outpours while her bold color palette and black outlines recall Lichtenstein’s comic book panels. Her work is also closely related to a more contemporary group of artists, including Alexis Rockman...
