About the Item

Dated 1927 Watercolor on Paper 14 1/2 x 15 in Framed 12 1/2 x 13 in. Unframed Born, in 1860 in Lehi, Utah, J. T. Harwood was a renowned pioneer of Utah art. In 1888, at the urging of mentors George M. Ottinger and Danquart A. Weggeland, J.T. Harwood was among the first envoy of Utah-born LDS artists sent to Paris to study art. There, he attended the Académie Julian where he received classical training. Around the turn of the century, the Harwoods split time between Utah and Paris. Harwood began teaching art classes in Salt Lake City and eventually became the head of the University of Utah’s art department, following in the footsteps of an early mentor, George M. Ottinger. Much of Harwood’s paintings from this period depict landscapes of both Utah and France.

    By Mahonri Young
    Located in Salt Lake City, UT
    Mahonri Young (American, 1877-1957) Ink and Watercolor on Paper 15 1/2 x 19 1/2 in. Framed 5 1/4 x 8 1/4 in. Unframed Young is known for his monument to the pioneers at This is the Place State Park, the Seagull Monument on Temple Square, and the monumental marble sculpture of his grandfather in the Statuary Hall of the US Capitol. But his work featuring everyday life, from laborers to athletes, is most highly regarded. His estate was donated to BYU in 1959 and Young has remained one of Utah’s most influential and important artists. Mahonri Young’s biography is remarkable. He was born in Salt Lake City, trained in New York, worked in Paris alongside Picasso, Hemingway, the Fitzgeralds, and Gertrude & Leo Stein. In 1929, Mahonri Young was among the most sought-after and famous artists in the world. Young was invited to the Twentieth Century Fox studio to collaborate on the film Seven Faces (1929). Over six weeks in Los Angeles, Young worked by day at the film studio and by night sketching amateur and professional boxers at the famed Main Street Club. For decades, the Club had been a favorite hang-out for the likes of Jack Dempsey...

  • Jerusalem, Old city, Western Wall, 1970 Judaica Watercolor Painting Israeli Art
    By Baruch Nachshon
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Baruch Nachshon, was born in Mandatory Palestine in 1939, in the city of Haifa. Nachshon began to paint in early childhood, and developed his relationship to art and to artists throughout his youth. During his military service Nachshon herded flocks for the IDF, an experience that imbued in him a love and appreciation for nature which figures prominently in his work until today. Upon completing his military service the young artist was torn between the temptation to travel to Paris, then the cultural center of the art world, and his deep love of the land of Israel, the spiritual center of the Jewish world. Opting to stay in Israel, Nachshon studied under Shlomo Nerani, Cezanne’s only pupil, with whom he had enjoyed a deep friendship extending back to his childhood. Nachshon, whom Nerani viewed as his spiritual heir, was the only one of his students allowed to see the master at work. Nachshon’s lifelong involvement in Lubavitch Hassidut began in his early adulthood, when he was drawn to the movement by its uniquely beautiful traditional melodies. In 1965 Nachshon was invited to an unprecedented three- hour private session with the Rebbe...
