About the Item

Measures Painting 12.5 x 15.625 inches sight Framed 23 x 25.875 inches Walter Lowell Faurot (1896–1976) was an American artist renowned for his contributions to commercial art, watercolor painting, and woodcarving. Born on June 1, 1896, in Ohio, Faurot served in the Navy during World War I. In 1924, he relocated to San Francisco, California, where he resided until his death on November 4, 1976. Throughout his career, Faurot produced watercolors depicting still lifes and urban scenes. In addition to his visual art, Faurot authored "The Art of Whittling," first published in 1930. This guide introduced readers to the craft of whittling, offering instructions on creating various traditional projects, including interlocking wooden puzzles, continuous wooden chains, and ships inside bottles. The book remains a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced woodworkers, preserving techniques and projects not commonly found in contemporary publications. Faurot's legacy endures through his artistic works and his contributions to traditional woodcraft, reflecting a dedication to both visual and functional artistry. The pastel work offered here showcases a brilliant composition of modernist design reminiscent of the work of his contemporary artist Henrietta Shore. It is matted and framed under glass in a handsome period carved wood molding.

CORAL PILLARS IN LAGOON OF MARAA, Tahiti, depth of 20 feet, 1943
By Zarh Pritchard
Located in Spokane, WA
Measures Painting 7.125 x 10.75 inches Framed 14 x 18.75 inches Zarh Pritchard (1866–1956) was an artist known for his ethereal and atmospheric paintings, particularly of underwater scenes, which he actually painted underwater in what is now considered primitive diving gear or early scuba diving equipment. His work often depicted dreamlike, almost mystical landscapes with a soft, hazy quality. This painting of coral caverns showcases a delicate, misty effect of gorgeous pastel colors, which aligns with Pritchard’s style. He used a diving helmet and gear to actually paint underwater on leather, creating the most unusual and evocative impressionist paintings, unparalleled in art history.
