Hecate - unique and rare ceramic plate by cubism master Georges Braque
By Georges Braque
Located in London, GB
Georges Braque - rare unique ceramic plate titled, “Hecate” (1962).
Hecate was the Greek goddess of the moon and one of the main deities worshipped in Athenian households as a protective goddess who bestowed prosperity and daily blessings on the family.
In “Metamorphoses de Braque” Rapael de Cuttolo describes how Braque became involved with Greek Mythology which was an important part of his oeuvre. The artist made numerous Lithographs and gouaches illustrating these subjects. In 1961 as a “Hommage to Braque” his jewels were presented at an exhibition at La Galerie Mollien du Musee du Louvre., and again, in 1965, at another special exhibition in New York. On page 121 it describes how Armand Israel, Georges Israel...

By Debra Smith
Located in West Des Moines, IA
Debra Smith's fabric collages are like snippets of contemporary quilts. She recycles fabrics, such as the silk linings of antique Japanese kimonos used to make much of her current body of work. The silks are different shades of neutral and lend a quiet, contemplative mood to much of Debra's work. In some collages, Debra uses vibrant vintage fabric to contrast with the understated feel of the silk.
Since 1999, Debra's work has been shown in numerous exhibition spaces, such as Dolphin Gallery and Pearl Gallery in Kansas City and the Pencil Factory in Brooklyn, New York. In addition to making artwork, Debra owns Sakiori, a textile company based in Kansas City, which she established in 1993. She formerly worked for Asiatica, an internationally recognized clothing and accessory business, which specializes in the reconstruction of antique kimono...

Let Freedom Ring
By Johnnie Lee Gray
Located in Charleston, SC
This painting captures the sense of "double victory" the Tuskegee Airmen fought for--victory abroad and victory at home. The Tuskegee Airmen was the all-black World War II fighter squadron that never lost a bomber. The flag-wrapped Statue of Liberty's ringing of the Liberty Bell against the backdrop of clouds shaped in "V"s mirror the optimism some blacks had. They hoped that helping to win World War II would translate into victory against Jim Crow...

Matinee at the Ritz
By Johnnie Lee Gray
Located in Charleston, SC
As a child Johnnie Lee Gray loved to go to the movies on Saturday to watch Western serials. He went to the Ritz Theater, an all-black movie house. Blacks were either banned from, or restricted to the balconies, of "white" movie theaters. As with several of his paintings, the artist is the man to the left with the big hat.
Artist, Johnnie Lee Gray was born in Spartanburg County, South Carolina in 1941. In his early years, Gray demonstrated artistic talent, painting & drawing as a way to express his emotions & depict his surroundings. Working alongside his grandparents in the fields of their sharecropper farm, & later as a carpenter, textile mill worker, & house painter, Gray learned early on to use the materials of his milieu to create works of art that drew on his memories & experiences as a black American man.
After graduating from the county’s segregated Lincoln High School in 1960, Gray enlisted in the Army, where he served for seven years, including an 18-month volunteer tour of duty in Vietnam. As a Vietnam Veteran and self-taught artist, Gray’s work illustrated his experiences in the military as an African-American and the participation of black people in the history of the American and world landscape. Described as “visionary” “outsider” artist, the patterned shapes, visual texture, vibrant palettes and repetitive forms showcased in his paintings are recognizable characteristics of his historical narratives.
