Lido (Venice)

By Otto Henry Bacher

Located in Fairlawn, OH

Lido (Venice) Etching on chine collee, 1880 Part of the artist's "Venice Set" Signed upper right in plate :Otto H Bacher" (see photo) Signed with the estate stamp, Lugt 2002 recto lower right beneath image. (see photo) Created October 20, 1880 Reference: Andrew Venice No. 29 Provenance: Estate of the Artist Otto H. Bacher (1856-1909) Otto Henry Bacher was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to a family of German descent. He first studied art at the age of sixteen with local genre trompe l'oeil still-life artist, DeScott Evans. Although he studied with Evans for less than one year, Bacher's early work, comprised mainly of still lifes, betrays Evans's influence. After a short period in Philadelphia, where he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Bacher returned to Cleveland and met Willis Seaver Adams, an artist from Springfield, Massachusetts, who had just recently arrived upon the Cleveland art scene. Soon the two artists were rooming together. Adams was instrumental in the founding of the Cleveland Art Club, as well as the establishment of the Cleveland Academy of the Fine Arts, to the board of which Adams had Bacher appointed. Also during this time, Bacher began to learn the process of etching from local etcher and landscape painter Sion Longley Wenban. In 1878, Bacher and Adams left for Europe. After stopping briefly in Scotland, Bacher went on to Munich, where he enrolled at the Royal Academy. He quickly tired of the rigors of the academy, and soon he was studying with Cincinnati artist Frank Duveneck, the prime American exponent of the Munich School. In 1879, Bacher made a trip to Florence with Duveneck as one of the celebrated "Duveneck Boys." Early the following year, the group proceeded to Venice, where Bacher and several other artists established studios in the Casa Jankovitz. By this time an avid printmaker, Bacher had his etching press sent from Muni ch, and it was in his Venice studio that he taught Duveneck the rudiments of etching. Soon Bacher, Duveneck, and other members of the Duveneck circle were experimenting in printmaking. Among the group's contributions were some of the first American examples of monotypes, which they called "Bachertypes" because they were printed using Bacher's press. It was also in Venice that Bacher met the venerable American expatriate artist, James McNeill Whistler. On learning of Bacher's press and his collection of etchings by Rembrandt, Whistler made himself a regular visitor to Bacher's studio, and he eventually took his own room in the Casa Jankovitz. Bacher spent much of the rest of 1880 with Whistler, the two artists sharing etching techniques. From Whistler, Bacher learned tone and line graduation; from Bacher, Whistler learned his etching techniques, including better ways of using the acid bath which produced less tedious and more efficient work. Bacher visited Whistler occasionally in the years that followed, and in 1908 he published With Whistler in Venice, his famous recollections of his time with the great artist. Bacher spent the next two years traveling extensively throughout Italy, with Venice as the center of his operations, and he produced a number of important etchings of Italian subjects. Bacher sent several of these works to America in 1881 to be included in the Society of American artists exhibition that year, and had a similar group of works shown at the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers' first exhibition at the Hanover Gallery in London. Following the exhibition, Bacher, along with several other of the American contributors, was elected a Fellow of the Society. Bacher collected twelve of his etchings of Venetian subjects and sold them in bound volumes through his New York dealer, Frederick Keppel. Bacher returned to Cleveland in January 1883 as a fully cosmopolitan artist. He set up a lavish studio furnished with exotic items and objets-d'art he had collected on his travels, and began to hold art classes as a means to supplement his income. He soon joined with Joseph De Camp in forming a summer sketch class in Richfield, Ohio. Bacher and De Camp also planned the Cleveland Room for a major loan exhibition in Detroit that year. During this period, Bacher increasingly painted in oil, and he began to produce sun-dappled canvases in an impressionistic mode. Unable to sell any paintings from this early period, however, Bacher left Cleveland for Paris in 1885, where he planned to undertake further studies. Stopping first in London to visit Whistler, Bacher stayed only briefly in Paris before heading to Venice, where he spent the remainder of the year. In January 1886, Bacher returned to Paris and enrolled at the Académie Julian, and also entered the atelier of Emile-Auguste Carolus-Duran. The life of the student seems never to have suited Bacher, as he stayed in Paris only through June, before departing again for Venice. For the next six months he, Robert Blum, and Charles Ulrich...

Indian Friendship Dance

By Gene Kloss

Located in Fairlawn, OH

Indian Friendship Dance Drypoint, 1953 Signed in pencil lower right, (see photo) Edition 200 Published by The Society of American Graphic Artists, New York An impression is in the collection of SAAM, Washington and RISD Museum, Condition: Excellent Very rich impression with burr and selective whiping of the ink for atmospheric nocturnal effect. Image/Plate size: 8 3/16 x 11 15/16 inches Sheet size: 11 1/8 x 17 inches Reference: Kloss 450 "'Indian Friendship Dance' is an eloquent statement of something which Gene Kloss has both observed and participated in. It is an Indian dance that is thought of as entertainment, rather than ceremony, but it is essentially an idea expressed in action, and an idea that has universal meaning. The young men who dance wear costumes of exquisite workmanship, intricately wrought with beads and feathers and subtle combinations of colors. The dancers are trained from childhood but develop their own steps and exhibit distinctive strength and grace. Singers and a tom-tom accompany the dance and since it usually takes place at night, a campfire is the source of light. The conclusion occurs when all the onlookers, old and young and from many places, join hands with the dancers in a slow revolving movement, while those who can, sing the difficult but meaningful Indian song that flows with the rhythmical dance step and speaks of fellowship, brotherhood, friendship." - An excerpt from a descriptive statement, written by Lynd Ward, and distributed with the drypoint at the time of publication." Courtesy Old Print Shop Born Alice Glasier in Oakland, CA, Kloss grew up amid the worldly bustle of the San Francisco Bay Area. She attended the University of California at Berkeley, graduating with honors in art in 1924. She discovered her talents in intaglio printmaking during a senior-year course in figurative drawing. The professor, Perham Nahl, held up a print from Kloss’ first plate, still damp from the printing process, and announced that she was destined to become a printmaker. In 1925, Gene married Phillips Kloss, a poet and composer who became her creative partner for life. The match was uncanny, for in her own way Gene, too, was a poet and a composer. Like poetry, her artworks capture a moment in time; like music, her compositions sing with aesthetic harmony. Although she was largely self-taught, Kloss was a printmaking virtuoso. On their honeymoon the Klosses traveled east from California, camping along the way. They spent two week is Taos Canyon – with a portable printing press cemented to a rock near their campsite – where Gene learned to appreciate the wealth of artistic subject matter in New Mexico. The landscape, the cultures, and the immense sky left an indelible impression on the couple, who returned every summer until they made Taos their permanent home 20 years later. Throughout her life, Kloss etched more than 625 copper plates, producing editions ranging from five to 250 prints. She pulled every print in every edition herself, manually cranking the wheel of her geared Sturges press until she finally purchased a motorized one when she was in her 70s. Believing that subject matter dictated technique, she employed etching, drypoint, aquatint, mezzotint, roulette, softground, and a variety of experimental approaches, often combining several techniques on the same plate. She also produced both oil and watercolor paintings. Kloss’ artworks are filled with drama. Her prints employ striking contrasts of darkness and light, and her subjects are often illuminated by mysterious light sources. Though she was a devout realist, there is also a devout abstraction on Kloss’ work that adds an almost mythical quality. For six decades Kloss documented the cultures of the region-from images of daily life to those of rarely seen ceremonies. She and her husband shared a profound respect for the land and people, which made them welcome among the Native American and Hispanic communities. Kloss never owned a camera but relied instead on observation and recollection. Her works provide an inside look at the cultures she depicted yet at the same time communicate the awe and freshness of an outsider’s perspective. Although Kloss is best known for her images of Native American and Penitente scenes, she found artistic inspiration wherever she was. During the early years of their marriage, when she and Phil returned to the Bay Area each winter to care for their aging families, she created images of the California coast. And when the Klosses moved to southwestern Colorado in 1965, she etched the mining towns and mountainous landscapes around her. In 1970 the Klosses returned to Taos and built a house north of town. Though her artwork continued to grow in popularity, she remained faithful to Taos’ Gallery A, where she insisted that owner Mary Sanchez keep the prices of her work reasonable regardless of its market value. Kloss continued to etch until 1985, when declining health made printmaking too difficult. From her first exhibition at San Francisco’s exclusive Gump’s in 1937 to her 1972 election to full membership in the National Academy of Design, Kloss experienced a selective fame. She received numerous awards, and though she is not as well known as members of the Taos Society of Artists...

Foreign Soldiers from Five Countries at the Port of Yokohama

By Utagawa Yoshitora

Located in Fairlawn, OH

Foreign Soldiers from Five Countries at the Port of Yokohama Color woodcut triptych, c. 1860's Signed in the block lower left corner Signed: "Ichimosai Yoshitora ga" Condition: Mounted to a rose colored silk backing (stable) Staining (visible) in the joining of the right and center sheets Colors very slightly faded Image size: 15 3/8 x 31 3/8 inches (triptysch sheets joined to make one print) The 1854 Treaty of Kanagawa opened Japan to the West. Curiosity about the never-before-seen foreigners spurred a market in Yokohama-e (Yokohama prints), named for the area to which foreign dignitaries and merchants were confined. Yoshitora became one of the best known and most active artists of the Yokohama-e school. Utagawa Yoshitora (歌川 芳虎) was a designer of ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints and an illustrator of books and newspapers who was active from about 1850 to about 1880. He was born in Edo (modern Tokyo), but neither his date of birth nor date of death is known. However, he was the oldest pupil of Utagawa Kuniyoshi who excelled in prints of warriors, kabuki actors, beautiful women, and foreigners (Yokohama-e). He may not have seen any of the foreign scenes he depicted. Yoshitora was prolific: he produced over 60 print series and illustrated over 100 books. In 1849 he produced an irreverent print called Dōke musha: Miyo no wakamochi ("Funny Warriors—Our Ruler's New Year's Rice Cakes"), which depicts Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi...

By Darius Steward

Located in Fairlawn, OH

Read the Signs, No. 13 Watercolor on Yupo paper, 2013 Signed lower right corner (see photo) Series: Read the Signs (22 watercolors) Exhibited: William Busta Gallery, Read the Signs, 2014 Canton Museum of Art, Our Separated Selves, 2018 (label) Note: Depicts Randy, a student at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, where the artist taught Condition: Excellent Image size: 12 x 9 inches Frame size: 16 1/4 x 13 1/4 inches Darius Steward is an American contemporary artist, muralist, educator, and community advocate whose emotionally charged watercolor paintings and public art projects examine race, memory, identity, grief, and social inequity in contemporary America. Born in 1984 and raised in inner city East Cleveland, Ohio, Steward has developed a nationally recognized practice rooted in portraiture, social commentary, and community engagement, establishing himself as one of the leading contemporary figurative artists working in the Midwest. Steward attended the Cleveland School of the Arts and the Interlochen Center for the Arts before earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Drawing and Painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2008 and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Delaware in 2010. Following graduate study, he returned to Cleveland, where he established a studio practice centered on watercolor portraiture distinguished by luminous color, dramatic negative space, and psychologically resonant figuration. Drawing upon the experiences of family members, children, and members of his community, Steward transforms personal narratives into broader meditations on vulnerability, resilience, displacement, and the complexities of Black identity in contemporary American life. Working primarily in watercolor on Yupo paper, Steward has developed a distinctive visual language that combines technical virtuosity with emotional immediacy. His paintings explore the psychological pressures confronting African American communities through fragmented compositions and carefully orchestrated spatial relationships. Themes of racial violence, social instability, masculinity, grief, and generational memory recur throughout his work, while expansive fields of white space create a dynamic tension between presence and absence, isolation and transcendence. Over the past decade, Steward has exhibited extensively in museums, galleries, and nonprofit art spaces throughout the United States. Notable solo exhibitions include Pressure at Maria Neil Art Project, Cleveland (2016); Our Separated Selves at the Canton Museum of Art (2018); Occupying A Space at the Swope Art Museum, Terre Haute, Indiana (2019); and Moving On at the Bonfoey Gallery in collaboration with Thomas French Fine Art (2019). In recognition of his artistic achievement and community impact, Steward received the Cleveland Arts Prize Emerging Artist Award in 2018. His work has appeared in significant museum exhibitions including Constant as the Sun at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland; FRONT International-associated exhibitions at the Cleveland Institute of Art; Currents and Constellations: Black Art in Focus at the Cleveland Museum of Art; and African American Art: Past, Present, and Future at the David Owsley Museum of Art at Ball State University. Steward's work is represented in numerous public and private collections, including the Cleveland Museum of Art, Akron Art Museum, Canton Museum of Art, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Davis Museum at Wellesley College, Flint Institute of Arts, Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University, Stanley Museum of Art at the University of Iowa, Swope Art Museum, Westmoreland Museum of American Art, Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art, Cleveland Clinic Collection, MetroHealth Collection, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Summa Health Collection, the Thrivent Collection of Religious Art, and the University of Delaware Collection. In 2020, the Cleveland Museum of Art acquired Steward's drypoint The Practice #1 as a gift from Thomas French Fine Art. Upon the acquisition of Steward's work by the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Director Kaywin Feldman remarked: “Steward uses his extraordinary skill as a watercolorist to add interest and drama to quotidian life. His vivid colors and unusual, eye-catching compositions will make his work a compelling presence in the museum's galleries.” Feldman later became Director of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Alongside his studio practice, Steward has earned recognition for ambitious public art projects throughout Northeast Ohio. In 2018 he completed two major public murals: Breaker of Chains, a 200-foot mural commissioned through MidTown Cleveland and Cleveland State University, and Support, located on Detroit Avenue in Cleveland. His mural The Waiting Room (2020), commissioned by Summa Health in Akron, transformed a hospital environment into a contemplative space focused on healing, patience, and shared humanity. Additional public commissions include Bowser Alley in Shaker Heights (2020), the POW! WOW! Cleveland Walls mural at the Rainey Institute (2021), a companion mural for the Lee–Harvard Branch Library (2021), and a major commission for Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland (2019). Steward further expanded his public practice through Baggage Claim: In Search of New Beginnings (2021), a sculptural installation created in collaboration with LAND Studio and the Cleveland Public Library...
