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.

Undersea Coral Caverns, Tahiti
By Zarh Pritchard
Located in Spokane, WA
Measurement Painting 23.5 x 14.5 inches Framed 30 x 21.125 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. This painting retains a hand made wood frame covered in 23k gold by famed Los Angeles framer...

Salty
By Joseph Broghammer
Located in Kansas City, MO
Due to the current situation related to the Novel Coronavirus pandemic, our gallery will donate 10% of our commission from this sale to the Kansas City Artists Coalition, which has been supporting local Kansas City Artists for the past 40 years. The Kansas City Artists Coalition (KCAC), is a non-profit, artist-centered, artist-run alternative space, supporting artists at every level in their career through exhibitions, continuing education and artist studios. Artist: Joseph Broghammer Title: “Salty” Materials : Chalk pastel and pencil on Arches Paper Date : 2016 Dimensions : 20 ¼ x 24 in. Omaha based artist Joseph Broghammer is as much of a storyteller as he is an artist. His one-of-a-kind pastel drawings in “Animals” are chronicles of his life. The creatures Broghammer creates are vehicles to uncover the varying characteristics of the artist’s personal identity. Hence, Broghammer’s “Animals” translates as a flowing stream of consciousness. The different birds and livestock staring back at the viewer are ornamented with iconographic symbols – small surprises along the way. These trinkets are keys to understanding the stories Broghammer is sharing. Broghammer began mastering his “dry painting” technique during his B.F.A. in Visual Art at the University of South Dakota. He graduated in 1986 and a year later went on to study his M.F.A. at the University of Wisconsin. In 2009, he studied at Creative Capital in Omaha, Nebraska. As storytellers often do, Broghammer later went on to become an educator himself, teaching at WhyArts? and becoming an Artist Assistant at Vera Mercer...
