"History Man" Made from the Cabinet Oak Tree. The Texas White House. LBJ Ranch
By James Surls
Located in San Antonio, TX
James Surls
(Born 1943)
Texas / Colorado Artist
Image Size: 60 x 36 x 33
Medium: Wood Sculpture from the Cabinet Oak Tree at LBJ Ranch
2024
"History Man" Designed to stand.
James Surls (Born 1943) Texas / Colorado Artist
A modernist sculptor of delicate seeming wooden objects of intriguing designs, James Surles also does drawing and prints that feature natural and human images and forms.
He carves, whittles and stains his objects, but creating a monotone effect, rarely paints them but sometimes burns images into them. Some of his works are large, as much as nine-feet tall.
Surls earned a B.S. degree from Sam Houston University and an MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. In 1998, he moved from Splendora, Texas to Carbondale, Colorado.
In 2009, five sculptures, made of bronze and steel, were set up on Park Avenue by the New York City Parks Public Art Program. His work has been shown in major New York museums including the Whitney, Guggenheim, and Museum of Modern Art. His work is in numerous public collections.
East Texas native James Surls is among the most acclaimed Texas artists of the late twentieth century and has found great success outside the state, as well. Surls' sculptures are most inspired by nature but also reveal metaphorical and mythological content.
In a 2009 catalog for The Grace Museum in Abilene, Texas, Patterson Sims wrote that Surl's works are "studies of myths, science, and human behavior."
After graduating from Sam Houston State University and The Cranbrook Academy of Art, he taught at Southern Methodist University and later at the University of Houston and the Lawndale Art Center, Houston.
Surl's work is held in many museum collections, and he has had numerous solo exhibitions, including the Dallas Museum of Art in 1984 and The Meadows Art Museum, Dallas, in 2003.
History Man and Walking Man – Provenance
James Surls, renowned Texas Artist, was commissioned by the Friends of the LBJ National Historical Park, to create art from what is known as the Cabinet Oak that is growing in the
yard of the Texas White House. As President, Lyndon Johnson held many meetings, including meetings with cabinet members, under the sprawling live oak tree in his front yard, next to his
swimming pool. For that reason, the tree became known as the Cabinet Oak. In 2019, a huge branch of the tree broke off. The park service searched for ways to turn this
devastating event into something positive and memorable. As a result, The Friends of Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park stepped forward and invited 53 artists to receive portions
of the wood and without conditions use the wood to reflect their vision of its meaning. Renowned artist James Surls used his section of the branch to create three art pieces,
including the two identified below that are being offered for sale. These works are unique examples of Surls artistry, showcasing his devotion to the LBJ legacy and to the beauty and
history of the wood itself.

Miniature Boat at Abstract Sculptural Sea. Mixed Media Wall Sculpture, 2024
By Vera Vizzi
Located in FISTERRA, ES
This evocative wall sculpture by Vera Vizzi, titled VITA, forms part of the artist’s ongoing exploration of maritime themes and human vulnerability. Crafted in mixed media on reclaimed wood, the piece presents a poetic seascape made of three stacked wooden blocks, each painted in shifting shades of deep blue and stormy grey to evoke a layered oceanic horizon. Atop the highest block sits a delicate miniature boat with small figures, amplifying the sense of fragility and scale.
The composition recalls coastal environments and states of emotional suspension—between movement and stillness, presence and absence. The textured surfaces and chromatic modulation suggest tides, foam, and sediment, while the figurative element introduces a narrative of journey, survival, or return. Like much of Vizzi’s work, VITA resonates with themes of resilience, the pull of memory, and our longing for connection with the sea.
This one-of-a-kind sculpture belongs to the artist’s new 2024 collection and is ready to hang. Ideal for collectors interested in contemporary marine art, mixed media assemblage, or metaphorical sculpture.

A late 17th Italian carved limewood figure of Mermaid, circle of Filippo Parodi
Located in PARIS, FR
A late 17th c. Italian carved figure of Mermaid,
Circle of Filippo Parodi (Genoa, 1630 – July 22, 1702)
Dimensions: h. 29.13 in, w. 30.31 in, p. 18.9 in (at the base)
Magnificent Italian Baroque sculpture depicting a mermaid seated on the rock.
All the virtuosity of the sculptor unfolds in this carved group. The fantastic creature is featured seated, the upper part of the body darting forward, the head looking upwards. Sophisticated hairstyle with rows of pearls intertwined in her hair, her loose locks fly in the wind and bring movement to the whole sculpture.
The wide-open eyes with hollowed-out pupils make it possible to follow the mermaid's gaze, towards the sky. The half-open mouth further magnifies this bewitching and seductive attitude.
Its long double tail ending in fins wraps on either side of a rocky mound strewn with objects evoking the underwater world: seashells and shells, branches of coral.
The ornamental richness combined with the great care taken in its execution make it a work in which the splendor of Italian Baroque art unfolds in such characteristic scenic movement.
The composition betrays a strong influence from Filippo Parodi, the leader of Genoese Baroque sculpture, and points to an artist from his circle.
Our sculpture was probably part of a decorative monumental palace.
The iconographic theme evoking the marine world finds its application in the numerous fountains and artificial grottos, designed in Italian palaces at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries.
Giacomo Filippo Parodi (Genoa 1630 – July 22, 1702) was an Italian Baroque sculptor of the Genoese school, who introduced Bernini's aesthetic to Genoa.
In his youth fathers a first apprenticeship with a carpenter, he went to Rome where he became a pupil of Bernini.
He had the opportunity to admire in person the works and style of the French sculptor Pierre Puget...

Cuban Master Florencio Gelabert Sculpture Large Wood Carving Bust Man Portrait
Located in Surfside, FL
Florencio Gelabert Y Perez (Cuban, 1904-1995)
Hand carved, signed; 1979
Materials: Cuban wood (mahogany?)
Dimensions 23 X 4 X 4 inches
Label affixed to underside: National Registry of Cultural Assets of the Republic of Cuba Ministry of Culture.
Provenance: Art Master Collection, Miami, Florida.
Florencio Gelabert, with a style reminiscent of Art Deco and Art Nouveau in a Latin American Expressionist stylization. Carved wood sculpture. Depicts a modernist stylized form of a man in a streamline moderne style.
José Florencio Gelabert Pérez (Caibarien, 1904 - Havana, 1995) Cuban musician, sculptor, draftsman and teacher. He graduated from the San Alejandro National Academy of Fine Arts in 1934. He received numerous awards, mentions and recognitions in Fine Arts Halls and Circles. His works are in the permanent collection of the National Museum of Fine Arts. Florencio Gelabert is a renowned sculptor, who made more than twenty solo exhibitions beginning in 1929, several in the National Museum of Fine Arts, and participated in more than thirty collectives in Cuba, Spain and Brazil, the latter in the Sao Paulo Biennial. he traveled from Caibarién to Santa Clara in 1928 to audition to enter the famous San Alejandro Fine Arts School in Havana. He obtained one of the five vacancies. Already in the Cuban capital, he combined fine arts and music. When he graduated, he became a professor in San Alejandro and the academy’s principal in 1960.
With a calling common to wood sculptors –which began with his primary school carving carpentry classes and the active life of his home town’s shipyards, his chisels and gouges feverishly turned mahogany, “ácana” and ebony into female heads with black African features dating back to 1930.
In 1938 he used his savings to explore Europe: France (Paris, Marseilles), Italy (Naples, Rome, Florence, and Venice), Belgium (Malina). His encounter with the works by Aristide Maillol, Auguste Rodin, Ossip Zadkine, Constantin Brancusi and even with Wifredo Lam, who was also born in another Cuban coastal area, Sagua la Grande, and his encounter with the nude marble David sculpture...

Fritz Horstman, Formwork for the East River, 2017, Wood, Latex Paint, Wood Panel
Located in Darien, CT
While working on a large building project several years ago the artist, Fritz Horstman was struck by the poetry in the unfinished state of the construction site. He was drawn specifically to the space between the plywood walls that were raised as formworks for the pouring of cement. That space could only exist for a few hours before the cement truck arrived, but in that moment it was a revolving abstraction of potential, delineation, growth, and destruction. Once filled it was gone: the plywood was stripped away, the earth was backfilled. To suspend that moment he began building models of formworks. Leaving them unfilled, they are perpetually unfinished.
From models based directly on architecture, Horstman expanded to forms found in the landscape. Making a formwork that depicts constraint upon the landscape is not exactly a reversal of the formwork’s function, but it asks different questions than a formwork designed for a building would. Why would you make a cement creek? What is the relationship between a flowing creek and poured cement? Is this a barrier or just delineation?
For River Woman ODETTA, in addition to several small sculptures in the Flat File, Horstman will install Formwork for the East River, which describes that river’s shape as it flows from Rikers Island to the tip of Manhattan. The 3 x 18 x 7 foot sculpture...
