About the Item

'Seated Nude', Paris, Académie de la Grande Chaumière, Salon D'Automne, Woman Artist, LACMA, GGIE, Jeu de Paume Signed 'Lloyd' for Caroline Lloyd (American, 1875-1945), created circa 1935 and impressed with foundry stamp, 'C. Valsuani Cire Perdue', for Claude Valsuani Fonderie, Paris. Please note: Video has not been color corrected; for correct color, refer to photographs. Born in Indiana, Caroline Lloyd first studied at the Convent of Notre Dame in Milwaukee. She later moved to Paris where she studied under Robert Wierick at the Ecole des Arts Appliqué à l’Industrie and, subsequently, at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Montparnasse. In France, Lloyd was made welcome in Modernist artistic circles and rapidly achieved both commercial and critical success. She exhibited widely, including at the Salon D'Automne, the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon des Beaux Arts among numerous other ateliers and galleries. At the Paris International Exposition of 1937, Lloyd's was awarded a medal and the exhibited work was purchased by the French government for the permanent collection of the Jeu de Paume Museum. In 1939, Caroline Lloyd was made an Associate Member of the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts, a rare honor for a non-French artist. Returning to Los Angeles on the outbreak of war, Lloyd continued to sculpt and exhibit successfully as a member of the California Art Club, including at the Golden Gate International Exhibition (1939), Stendhal Gallery (1941) and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (1942, 1944). Her retrospective was held at the Los Angeles Art Association (1945-6). Caroline Lloyd is well-listed in all relevant reference works including Who Was Who in American Art, the Dictionary of American Sculptors, the Biographical Encyclopedia of American Painters, Sculptors and Engravers and Hughes' Dictionary of California artist.

'Woman Standing', Modernist Sculpture, San Francisco Bay Area, de Young Museum
By Wedo Georgetti
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Inscribed on base, 'W.G.' for Wedo Georgetti (American, 1911-2005) and created circa 1950. Acquired directly from the artist and accompanied by certificate of authenticity. Born in Italy, this California Post-Impressionist came to the United States at the age of one. Georgetti first worked as a merchant seaman to support his art studies and traveled all over the world accumulating sketches, many of which he later worked up into paintings. He made frequent visits to France, where he was influenced by the Post-Impressionists and, particularly, by the Nabis. An innovative theorist, Georgetti was the originator of the style known as California Fauvism.

'Abstract Landscape', California WPA, Corcoran, Whitney, AIC, GGIE, SFAA, LACMA
By Ellwood Graham
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed upper right, 'Graham' for Ellwood Graham (American, 1911-2007) and painted circa 1985; additionally signed, verso, and titled, 'View Study'. This early California Modernist was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and attended the School of Fine Arts at Washington University. By the 1930's, Graham was living in California and working in the Federal Art Project as assistant to Gordon Grant. In this capacity, he designed and painted numerous murals in Federal and state buildings including the U.S. Post Office in Ventura. In 1937, he moved to Monterey and the home studio he built there was where he carried out various commissions, including for Senatorial offices in Washington DC and for John Steinbeck, a close personal friend, whose portrait he painted while the author was writing 'Sea of Cortez' (1940). Graham served in the Navy during World War II and, afterwards, traveled between Monterey, the Caribbean (1952-1953), New Mexico, and Mexico (1954-1955) before becoming a resident of Pebble Beach in 1956. In 2000, he moved and spent his final years in Oregon. Graham exhibited widely and with success including at the Golden Gate International Exposition (1939), Art Institute of Chicago (1947), Corcoran Gallery (1947), Whitney Museum of Art (1951), San Francisco Art Association, Monterey Peninsula Museum of Art and the Carmel Art Association. Honored with 68 awards, Graham has received national and international acclaim as an abstract painter and colorist. His work can be found in numerous public collections including the Whitney Museum in New York City, the Art Institute of Chicago, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum, the Santa Barbara Museum, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Art Museum, the Oakland Museum, and the Brazilian Embassy in Washington. Concerning his work, Graham said: "I am a creative painter, the grist for the mill can come from anything at all - a love affair, a book, a poem, a conversation, anything. I like profound painting, although I'm not always capable of doing it, I want a painting to breathe; I like to orchestrate color, playing with the various tones to create an amalgam of color."
