About the Item

Title: Vibrant French Gouache Painting of Navajo Jewelry Makers in Albuquerque by Emile GALLOIS (1882-1965, French) Signed: Yes Medium: Original gouache painting on thick unframed paper, Size: 13.75 inches (height) x 11 inches (depth) Conditon: Very good Provenance: From a private French collection Description: This beautifully detailed gouache painting by Emile Gallois (1882-1965) captures a scene of Navajo artisans crafting and displaying intricate turquoise jewelry in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Set against a traditional adobe dwelling, the piece offers a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of Native American silversmiths and jewelry makers, a tradition deeply rooted in Navajo culture. Key features: Cultural & Historical Significance: Highlights the importance of Navajo silversmithing and turquoise jewelry-making, which has been a defining craft for centuries. Rich Color Palette: A striking combination of warm ochres, deep purples, and vibrant reds enhances the depth and warmth of the scene. Intricate Detailing: The artist carefully renders beaded necklaces, silver cuffs, and traditional attire, reflecting the precision of both the jewelers and the painter. Vibrant Composition: The play of light and shadow, along with the textured adobe walls and scattered jewelry, adds a dynamic yet intimate feel. Collector’s Appeal: A must-have for collectors interested in Native American art, Southwestern themes, or ethnographic studies. Gallois, a celebrated French Impressionist and illustrator, exhibited widely at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris and was known for his detailed depictions of global traditions and craftsmanship. This work is a testament to his dedication to capturing the beauty of diverse cultures through a refined artistic lens.

Mid-day, Zuni Village
By Frank Reed Whiteside
Located in Missouri, MO
Mid-day, Zuni Village, 1897 By. Frank Reed Whiteside (American, 1866-1929) Unframed: 20" x 30" Framed: 28" x 38" Frank Reed Whiteside, born in Philadelphia on 20 August 1867, became a student of Thomas Anshutz at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1888-92). He already began exhibiting there during his student years (1887-98). In 1893, he enrolled in the Académie Julian in Paris where he received instruction from Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. After his French academic training, Whiteside taught art in Philadelphia high schools. He took frequent trips to the Southwest between 1890 and 1928 to live with and paint the Zuni Indians. Whiteside depicted ceremonial dances, Zuni buildings, and other genre scenes, usually in blinding afternoon sunlight. He carefully observed the effects of light on vibrant color, using a finely crafted impressionist technique. He was fond of broad areas of color, subtle combinations of hues, and simplified shapes and silhouettes. Whiteside continued to exhibit at the PAFA (1905-15), at the Art Institute of Chicago (1896-1916), at the Carnegie International (1905 and 1907) and at the Corcoran Gallery (1907). He was a member of Philadelphia art societies and beginning in 1909 had a summer studio in Ogunquit, Maine, where he took part in Hamilton Easter Field's discussion groups. Frank's wife, Clara Walker Whiteside, who published Touring New England in 1926, was active in the Ogunquit Art Association. Like Stanford White, Frank Reed Whiteside was the victim of murder, on 19 September 1929, but Whiteside's case remains unsolved. One night, the sixty-three year-old painter answered the doorbell. Two witnesses...
