Daniel Clarke
Descanso Koi, Painting, Watercolor on Watercolor Paper

2023

About the Item

Near the entrance, a patch of tall grass. Near the tall grass, long-stemmed plants; each bending an ear-shaped cone to the pond’s surface. If you looked closely, you could make out silvery koi swishing toward the clouded pond’s edge where a boy tugs at his mother’s shirt for a quarter. To buy fish feed. And watching that boy, as he knelt down to let the koi kiss his palms, I missed what it was to be so dumb as those koi. I like to think they’re pure, that that’s why even after the boy’s palms were empty, after he had nothing else to give, they still kissed his hands. Because who hasn’t done that— loved so intently even after everything has gone? Loved something that has washed its hands of you? I like to think I’m different now, that I’m enlightened somehow, but who am I kidding? I know I’m like those koi, still, with their popping mouths, that would kiss those hands again if given the chance. So dumb. :: Painting :: Abstract :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Lower right hand corner :: Watercolor Paper :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No

He moved to Louisville, Kentucky in 1929 and studied at the University of Missouri, Columbia from 1944 to 1946 under a wartime navy training program. He graduated from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in 1947 and, that same year, he returned to Missouri to finish his Bachelor’s degree in Journalism before moving to Paris on a G.I. scholarship.

He married Delphine Seyrig in 1950, and later that year he had his first group exhibition at Galerie Maeght in Paris. He visited the studios of Constantín Brancusi and Jean Arp and became heavily influenced by the organic forms present in their work. He also met artist Alexander Calder through his father-in-law, Henri Seyrig, and experimental filmmaker and artist, Robert Breer...
