"Nasturtium, " Watercolor by Louis Comfort Tiffany for Stained Glass Window, '21
By Louis Comfort Tiffany
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully painted in vivid tones of yellow-orange, mossy green, warm red and deep blue -- echoing the rich tones of the stained glass he employed -- this rare and gorgeous watercolor by Louis Comfort Tiffany was clearly painted to inspire and guide the design of one of his stained glass windows featuring the nasturtium flower. In the earliest years of his career in the decorative arts, Tiffany served as the primary designer for his firm, inspired by ancient Byzantine and Roman glass as well as the bounty of American flowers and trees to be found in his native Northeast. As his business grew and it was necessary for him to oversee the work of many artists and artisans, he came to rely on others to develop most designs, such as Frederick Wilson for his figural church windows and Clara Driscoll...

"New Mexico River Valley, " 1920s Painting, Black, Green & Blue, Attr. Applegate
By Frank Applegate 1
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This superbly painted view of the mountains framing a river valley in northern New Mexico is attributed to Frank Guy Applegate, who lived and worked in the state during the 1920s, and is known for his watercolors -- such as this -- that present strong, abstracted views of the local landscapes, all in vivid colors and bold strokes of paint. Applegate was considered one of the New Mexico Modernists, and was accompanied on some of his painting forays by B.J.O. Nordfeldt, Andrew Dasburg and Josef Bakos. Applegate also had enormous respect for the culture and artistry of the native people, and encouraged a revival of the Pueblo style...
