Badri Narayan Paintings

Indian, 1929-2013

Badri Narayan was born in Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh. A self-taught artist, Badri Narayan had been painting for over 45 years. During this time, he worked as an art teacher and an artist, but always remained a deeply introspective individual. Self-reflection and an autobiographical perspective is the most constant theme in Narayan’s work. His first solo exhibition of paintings was held at the Hyderabad Art Society in 1954. After that, he held well over 50 solo shows, including several exhibitions at Pundole Art Gallery, Mumbai. He also exhibited his work at Mon Art Gallerie, Kolkata; Sakshi Art Gallery, Bangalore and Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai.

"Orientalist Interior" Watercolor by Philippe Jullian Ex- D.D. Ryan Estate

"Orientalist Interior" Watercolor by Philippe Jullian Ex- D.D. Ryan Estate

By Philippe Jullian

Located in Bristol, CT

Elegant & fabulously rare, original Philippe Jullian (1919-1977) (ink signed LR) watercolour depicting a lavish Moorish opium salon interior with a reclining nude portrait on the wall and two monkeys with their turban clad handler. Sagittarius Gallery, NY label inscribed Jullian No. 18 on verso Art Sz: 8 3/4"H x 11 1/8"W Frame Sz: 16"H x 18"W w/ Hermes orange mat & antique bamboo frame Provenance: The estate of D. D. Ryan (1928-2007), noted fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar, an associate of Halston and a regular on best-dressed lists! Another widely appreciated achievement is her association with the creation of Eloise, the fictional little girl who lives at the Plaza Hotel. Eloise began as a character that Kay Thompson, a cabaret singer, portrayed to amuse her friends, of whom Ms. Ryan was one. Ms. Ryan urged her to write a book, put her together with Hilary Knight, the illustrator, and never stopped pushing her to finish the job. The result was “Eloise,” published in 1955 and a best seller the next year, and its popular sequels. “The book would never have existed without D. D. Never,” Mr. Knight said in an interview Thursday. “She would have just dropped it and gone on to something else.” Beyond her historic Eloise moment, Ms. Ryan thrived at the crossroads of New York’s fashion and artistic worlds, seeming to make a statement every time she dressed, almost always in clothes she made herself, always recognizable with her famous precisely stylized eyebrows. Her first job in Manhattan was as an assistant to the photographer Richard Avedon; she was photo editor at Harper’s Bazaar under the legendary editor Diana Vreeland, and she designed the costumes for Stephen Sondheim’s 1970 Broadway musical “Company.” Her social circle included Cole Porter, Andy Warhol, Mr. Sondheim and Truman Capote. When she recommended a new pair of sandals or a piece of costume jewelry — only “really good costume jewelry...
