Artist's copyright stamp and registration number lower left on verso, (painting No. 1432). Last photo: Adolf Sehring's portrait of Pope John being formally presented in the Grotto at the Vatican in 1979. Adolf Sehring is the only American artist to be commissioned to paint the Papal picture of Pope John Paul II, (Houston page 39). "Once rulers of their jungles, these boldly striped creatures now survive only at man's whim. What a condemnation of our spirit it would be, if through greed and ignorance we would allow these creatures, who are poetry in motion and power made elegant, to slip away into the ignominity and waste of everlasting extinction." - (Tigers by a Jungle Stream), Houston page 208 Biography: Adolf Sehring (1930-2015) was a Russian/German-American realist painter. Best known for his landscape, figurative, and still-life paintings, Sehring's career was characterized by change and upheaval. Born in Russia on June 8, 1930, he moved from attending art school in Berlin after World War II to Philadelphia in 1949, and subsequently enlisted in US military service during the Korean War. During this time, he taught himself to paint, gaining recognition by portraying popular actresses Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell during his military stint, and returned to the US in the early 1950s to pursue advertising and illustrating. Sehring continued to paint until death in Punta Gorda, FL on March 4, 2015, garnering regional acclaim and prominent commissions like a papal portrait of Pope John Paul II in 1979, and a bronze sculpture of Pocahontas in 1994. His works are in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Grand Palais in Paris, U.S. Embassy to Sweden, Chrysler Museum, Mellons, Temple University, Museum of St. Mary's, Bayly Museum of Virginia, the U.S. State Department and the Vatican, among many other private and public collections.
