William Henry Jackson
Mirror Lake, Yosemite c.1880s mammoth albumen print with hand coloring
20.6"x16.2"
Jackson was the
leading photographer of the American West in the 19th century. His
photographs helped turn Yellowstone into the first national park. He was the
first white man to see and photograph the Mesa Verde ruins of the Anasazi
people in Colorado. After the Hayden Survey years, Jackson settled down to a
successful commercial career in Denver. His pictures now revealed the steady
conquest of the Frontier by the railroads. By the 1890's he was called
"America's greatest landscape photographer."
Jackson's credit, title, and number '1350' in the negative; double-mounted;
in near pristine condition, minor fading; unframed.

Beatrice Wood
Large Loving Cup ceramic with turquoise lustre glaze
5½"h
Wood's liaisons
with artist Marcel Duchamp, writer Henri-Pierre
Roche and others associated with the avante-garde
Dada movement of the early 20th century, earned
her the appellation "Mama of Dada." Wood's ceramics
are displayed in the permanent collections of 15 major U.S.
museums, including the Smithsonian and New York's Museum of Modern Art.
Throughout her
life, Wood challenged the relevance of age, saying often that "chocolate and
young men" were the keys to her longevity. In the last few years of her
life, neither her failing health nor her failing
hearing were enough to keep her from entertaining guests at her
TopaTopa mountain
studio and home.

Forrest Moses
"Untitled"
48"x66" oil on canvas
Forrest Moses is one of
the most respected contemporary landscape painters.
“I began finding my way by direct observation and
feeling. The land became my teacher.” Moses’ expressionistic landscape
paintings, ranging from gentle New England streams to vast New Mexican
panoramas, display a strikingly vivid juxtaposition between the literal and
the abstract. This is one of the finer examples of his large scale
landscapes.
Additional paintings and biographical
information for Forrest Moses.
