About the Item

Substantial and period mid-century still life of a bowl of bearded irises with a parrot figurine by noted California artist Nell Walker Warner (American, 1891-1970), c.1940's. A charming parrot statue watches over the stunning bouquet of purple Bearded Irises in a yellow vase, which is accented with a light purple and lavender drape. The artist uses the interplay of complementary colors purple and yellow with touches of green for an interesting and harmonious color palette. Signed "Nell Walker Warner" lower left. Displayed in period giltwood frame. Canvas size: 24"H x 20"L. A noted still life painter who influenced many aspiring student painters in her life time, Nell Walker Warner was born in Richardson County, Nebraska and was a graduate of the Lexington, MO Women’s College and studied at the Los Angeles School of Art and Design. In the 1920s, she was art curator of the Tuesday Afternoon Club and studied locally with Nicolai Fechin, Fritz Werner, and Paul Lauritz. She moved to Carmel, CA in 1952 and lived there until 1970. Los Angeles Times art critic Anthony Anderson stated that she was one of the ablest floral painters America has produced. In addition of her floral still lifes, her work includes landscapes of California and New England coast.

Purple and White Iris
Located in Greenwich, CT
Fannie Burr was a highly accomplished painter and one of our earlier American women artists! This very contemporary, fresh and appealing floral study was done circa 1895!! The rarity of this and its virtuoso execution could lend it to being in the collection of a Connecticut museum. Along with her sister Jennie, they were known as the "Burr Sisters". They did focus on paintings of still life and nature which would have been acceptable for a female artist of the period. Fannie studied at the Yale School of Art and then the Art Students League in New York. She was assistant to Julian Alden Weir a major CT impressionist, while he was at Yale teaching. The composition is avant-hard for this date! It is in an exceptional hand carved 22 karat frame of high value, Art Nouveau style. In the estate of 700 or so paintings by Fannie and Jenny Burr it was found that they did not sign most of the paintings. They were not selling their works or represented so much so this is understandable. This has a great provenance! Estate of the artist Julian Eddy by 1962 Connecticut Gallery, Lyme CT...
