REFERENCES Originally, sold to Papillon Gallery of Los Angeles.
CONDITION Excellent antique condition, wear consistent with age and use.
Enid Bell Palanchian (American, 1904 – 1994) a/k/a Mrs. E. B. Palanchian, Mrs. Enid Bell Palanchian and Mrs. Missak Palanchian was an important American sculptor, author, illustrator and professor who was primarily active in the New York/New Jersey area, but who established a respected body of work recognized throughout Europe and the United States as reflected by awards received in Paris, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico and Florida. Her achievements included numerous public works projects (e.g., the design of the Congressional Gold Medal) on display at public institutions and museums around the country, private commissions and sales throughout the world, group and solo exhibitions, generous donations of art and compilations, and the passing on of her knowledge and skills to 24 years of art students of the Newark School of Industrial and Fine Arts.
Enid Bell was born in London, England, and later studied at the Glasgow School of Art and then at the St. John’s Wood Art School; as well as studying with fellow Scot Sir William Reid Dick in London. Then, after moving to the United States, she taught at the Art Student League in New York City at Miss Chapen’s School. Essentially a figurative, direct carving in wood artist, she was based in New Jersey where she became the head of the sculpture program of the Fedral Art Project for that state and was herself the creator of several FAP commissions. In 1932, she married Armenian/American businessman and artist, Missalk Palanchian athough she retained her name “Bell” for professional purposes. Following the end of the Federal Art Project in 1944, she taught as instructor of sculpture and Head of the Sculpture Department of the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art until 1968, and was active was a member of the National Sculpture Society. Enid Bell died in 1994 in Englewood, New Jersey.
