Mid Century Golden Age of Illustration- Narrative Art - Norman Rockwell School
By Alex Ross
Located in Miami, FL
“Graduation Day” is emblematic of mid-century American Illustration.
But the real story of this storytelling work is that it embodies the lost art of portrait painting and graphic design.
Alex Ross borrows on the classical tradition and flaunts his skills as a narrative painter. In “Graduation Day”, he paints a complex composition involving at least thirteen portraits. The subjects are beautifully rendered and lit. They are set against a dark grey background and jump off the surface at the viewer. The composition is complexly designed. The future graduate in the red jacket engaging with a girl photographer is a compositional device that leads the viewer's eye to the main subject - a father congratulating his son on graduating from medical school. Creating art that relies on facial expressions and body gestures is a talent absent in contemporary art. Why? It’s very hard to do and takes years and training and practice to get it right. Despite Alex Ross's folksy subject matter, this work is a high example of naturalism and representation by an important member of the Golden Age of American Illustration.

Born in the town of Dunfermline, Scotland, Alexander Sharpe Ross (1908-1990) moved with his family to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1911. After attending Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University), Ross moved to New York and joined the Charles E. Cooper Studio, where he worked among such notable illustrators as Ward Brackett, Stevan Dohanos, J. Frederick Smith...

Buddha, Sarnath Pillar, Qutub Minar, Gupta Empire, Nataraja, Watercolor"In Stock"
By Saikat Patra
Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
Saikat Patra - Untitled - 15 x 11 inches (unframed size)
Watercolour on paper
Style : Saikat Patra highly talented water colorist from Bengal.
In this series of 10 water colour, Saikat traces few game changing moments in India. From invasion / war to coronation, from spirituality to education Saikat beautifully traces few important moments from Historical India.
In order of the series of the events :
a) Buddha with Angulimalla : ( 600 – 400 BC )
When Buddha's teaching resonated with the people and the ruthless serial killer redeemed and converted himself to follow the principle of Buddhism.
b) Ashoka surveying the Sarnath Pillar : (400 – 200 BC)
The Mauryan empire reached the peak of its extent under the rule of Ashoka(reign : 273-232 BCE).Here King Ashoka is scene looking at the Lion Capital of Ashoka, a sculpture of four Asiatic Lions; a graphic representation of which was adopted as the official Emblem of India in 1950.
c) Questions of Milinda : (200 – 100 BC)
Depicts the Questions of Milinda, a Buddhist text which record a dialogue Buddhist Sage Nagasena and the Indo - Greek King Menander who is set to have converted after meeting Sage Nagasina.
d) The Kushan Kings encouraged all religions :
One of the most interesting aspects of the Kushan empire is its spirit religious toleration. A broad pantheon of dieties on Kushan coins indicates that the empire was characterized by tremendous religious toleration. We find on Kushan coins, Greek Gods such as Helios and Salene, Iranian gods such as Nana, Mithra , Mao and Athsho, Hindu gods such as Shiva and Kartikeya, the
Zoroastrian deity Ahura Mazda and the Buddha. The drawings shown above are also powerful evidence of the syncretic nature of many of the deities which were worshipped from different traditions.
e) Gupta Empire : India’s Golden Age
Kalidasa : ( 5th century AD ) Poet and playwright
Vatsyayana : ( 3rd - 6th century AD) Author of the Kama Sutra
Aryabhata : ( 5th century AD ) Mathematician, astronomer
The peace and prosperity created under the leadership of the Guptas enabled the pursuit of scientific and artistic endeavours. This period was marked by extensive inventions and discoveries in science & technology, engineering, art, literature, mathematics, astronomy, religion, and philosophy that crystallized the elements of what is known as the Golden Age of India.
f) Shiva as a dancing Nataraja, Badami : ( 600 – 750 AD )

Put aside Richard Taylor's dry wit. Look at his masterfully rendered figures and brilliantly constructed compositions based on a two-point perspective. Clearly, he is an underrated and overlooked talent in the class of Charles Addams. Above all, Taylor, with his heavely-lidded-eyed figure, has a style of his own. An artist who has an instantly recognized style - unique to him/her is a rarity in today's artworld of derivative artists.

Horses, Chicken, Ducks, Rooster and Pigs Children's Book - Female Illustrator
Located in Miami, FL
Cover illustration for mid-century children's book publisher Merril Publishers. Signed lower right. Unframed. Retta Scott or Retta Worcester was (February 23, 1916 – August 26, 1990) was an pioneering Female Illustrator / American artist. She was the first woman to receive screen credit as an animator at the Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Scott worked on storyboards to develop scenes of Bambi, his mother, and the film’s hunting dogs, on which she spent weeks to develop them into “vicious, snarling, really mean beasts.” Male artists in the company were stunned who initially assumed that only a man could create drawings with such intensity and technical skill. Her sketches caught the eye of Disney, so when the film went into production, she was assigned to animate scenes of hunting dogs chasing Faline. She worked under the film's supervising director, David D. Hand,and was tutored by Disney animator Eric Larson. This was a significant coup for the young woman, since at the 1930s-era Disney studio, women were considered only for routine tasks: "Ink and paint art was a laborious part of the animation process, and was solely the domain of women..." Her promotion to animator was in part thanks to the success of herself and other women such as Bianca Majolie, Sylvia Holland, and Mary Blair as storyboard artists. Even after receiving a promotion to animator, she and her animations continued being under appreciated in the industry. Though the most recognized Walt Disney female artist is Mary Blair, it is Retta Scott who opened up the doors for women in the animation industry. She became the first woman to receive screen credit as an animator. By the spring of 1941, Scott was also considered a "specialist in animal sketches."
Scott helped produce Fantasia and Dumbo, as well as an adaptation of The Wind in the Willows that was later cancelled. She also made an appearance in The Reluctant Dragon...

Colonel Bates Leads the 30th Colored Infantry at the Battle of the Crater
By Abbott Fuller Graves
Located in Costa Mesa, CA
Colonel Bates Leads the 30th Colored Infantry at the Battle of the Crater
Watercolor on Paper Circa 1903
15 ½ x 21 ½ Inches 25 ½ x 33 ½ Inches Framed
LR: Graves
This rare portrait of African American troops serving in battle during the Civil War depicts the 30th United States Colored Infantry at the Battle of the Crater, at Petersburg, Virginia. The regiment was composed of African American enlisted men commanded by white officers and was authorized by the Bureau of Colored Troops which was created by the United States War Department on May 22, 1863.
The Battle of the Crater, July 30th, 1864, was part of the Siege of Petersburg, fought between the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert E. Lee and the Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by Maj. Gen. George G. Meade (under the direct supervision of the general-in-chief, Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant).
At the top of the painting, Colonel Delevan Bates raises his saber to lead the charge of the 30th United States Colored Infantry. Bates was promoted to this command just prior to this battle, having served with distinction in the 121st New York Infantry at the Battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Though the Battle of the Crater would eventually be won by the Confederacy, it was here that Bates and 23 other troops would be award the United States highest award for bravery during combat, the Medal of Honor.
After weeks of preparation, on July 30, Union forces exploded a mine in Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside's IX Corps sector, blowing a gap in the Confederate defenses of Petersburg, Virginia. From this propitious beginning, everything deteriorated rapidly for the Union attackers. Unit after unit charged into and around the crater, where soldiers milled in confusion. Grant considered the assault "the saddest affair I have witnessed in this war." The Confederates quickly recovered and launched several counterattacks led by Brig. Gen. William Mahone. The breach was sealed off, and Union forces were repulsed with severe casualties. Brig. Gen. Edward Ferrero's division of black soldiers...
