Melvin Warren Art
American, 1920-1995
For western art to achieve the distinction of fine art, it must first satisfy an artistic criteria and only then deal with the particularity of western subject matter. Melvin Warren understands this concept. His work is an accomplished artistic statement that also presents images which are faithful to western reality. Warren was born in California in 1920 and lived in Arizona and New Mexico before coming to Texas at the age of 14. He has seen the beauty and felt the lure of the Southwest and it stimulated his boyhood desire to be an artist. After service in World War II, Warren entered Texas Christian University and received a degree in fine arts. During the day, he worked in the best tradition of commercial art work, and in the evenings he painted out the western fantasies that crowded his mind. These paintings and the process of creating them encouraged Warren to seek a gallery outlet. The subtle sensitivity to his subject matter and an obvious control of the technical elements of painting made his work readily acceptable to a broad range of collectors. He became a special favorite of Lyndon Johnson, who ultimately acquired many Warren oils. He is buried at Clifton Memorial Park, Clifton, Bosque County, Texas. His palette emphasizes earth tones -browns, reds and yellows. His subject matter emphasizes the history of the West - cattle trails and frontier forts. He was a member of the Cowboy Artists of America. His work is extensively exhibited at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and is housed at the LBJ (Lyndon Baines Johnson) Library in Austin.

Who Let the Dogs Out?, original 10x30 dog portrait and landscape
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
Who let the dogs out? The five feisty hounds romp and jump and tease one another in utter joy, or is it pandemonium? It's almost impossible to imagine their upcoming transition as they lead the chase in the highly regimented fox hunt. The fields of green grass, speckled with overgrown wild flowers are the perfect playground for these hounds to catch the scent, with so many stories to tell! Artist Joseph Sundwall grew up in Chicago where his artistic talents were recognized early on. He studied his trade at the Kansas City Art Institute, the famed Art Students League and National Academy of Design in NYC followed by added training in London at the St. Oswald Studios. He developed an exceptional ability to create figurative compositions as well as portraiture to significant acclaim under the tutelage of renowned portrait artist Everett...

Provenance: Cotman family collection
Frederick George Cotman was born in Ipswich on 14 August 1850. His uncle, John Sell Cotman, was one of the cornerstones of the Norwich school and a very influential watercolourist. Frederick's first tuition came from William Griffiths, headmaster of Ipswich School of Art. In 1868 he enlisted at the Royal Academy Schools and his proficiency as a draughtsman and painter in oils and watercolours was rewarded with four silver and a gold medal for The Death of Eucles now at the Ipswich Town Hall. His teachers in London were Frederick Leighton (1830-1896) and Henry Tanworth Wells (1828-1903). Cotman became established as a London society portrait painter, for which he could command a fee of 300 guineas and also produced homely genre scenes. Elected a member of both the Royal Institute of Painters in...
