Original oil painting of apartment buildings at noon. HIGH NOON Hoosier Salon 1966 Fenton Stewart (1902-1979) 29 X 33 No. 88 |
Provenance |
Purchased from the Hoosier Salon in 1966. While "HIGH NOON" was not a building in Indiana, I am sure that there exists just such a building in our state … the old grain storage still doing its job and quietly sitting on the opposite bank with men eating their noon lunch gave me the thought for the title ... Born at Oxford, Indiana ... first desired to become a doctor, but after a visit to the well-known sculptor, Lorado Taft, he picked up a palette knife instead of a scalpel ... studied at the Chicago Art Institute, John Herron Art Institute and under Oakley Richey, Paul Hadley, and several other teachers … worked in the field of design, did editorial cartooning for the Indianapolis Star and was art director for The Sunday Star Magazine ... Member of Hoosier Salon and served on Commission on the Arts …Among the top ten designers for the Tuberculosis Association Seals ... sculpted likeness of Governors Shricker and Branigan ... did wood carvings and wire sculpture portraits and designed several mechanical toys. |
