Neal Auction Company is pleased to offer property from the Estate of Marian Mayer Berkett (1913-2017). When she died this past June at the age of 104, Ms. Berkett was Louisiana’s oldest attorney. She finished first in her Tulane Law School Class of 1937, and had the distinction of being the first woman attorney hired by a Louisiana law firm. Her career with the Deutsch Kerrigan firm would span seven decades. Ms. Berkett was named Tulane’s Outstanding Graduate in 1992, inducted into the inaugural class of the Tulane Law School Hall of Fame in 2013, and named Tulane’s Distinguished Alumna in 2016. She sat on numerous civic boards including the Community Chest and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Berkett was believed to be the last surviving member of the People’s League, the anti-Huey Long organization which she helped to found in the 1930s with classmates Hale Boggs, Moise Steeg Jr. and James Coleman Sr.

Living Life Colorfully: The Judy and Morris Massey Collection Neal Auction is pleased to present the modern art collection of Judy and the late Morris (1939-2017) Massey at auction.
Dr. Morris Massey moved to New Orleans with his wife Judy and twin boys in 1980, purchasing the residence built by architect Albert Ledner for Leonie Galatoire on Park Island near City Park. Morris quickly fell in love with the city’s arts community and became a supporter of the New Orleans Museum of Art, Young Aspirations Young Artists, and the galleries on Julia Street. Morris loved collecting and displaying art that moved him, including the famous leafy “Wonderwall” sculptures from the 1984 World’s Fair, which he installed “as a gift to the City” on his property overlooking Bayou St. John. Favoring local galleries, especially Arthur Roger Gallery, Morris spent many years acquiring pieces from Louisiana artists, such as John T. Scott and Ida Kohlmeyer. Additionally, Morris’s professional lecturing work took him around the world, where he purchased antiques and modern works from Europe, Asia, and Australia. Morris and Judy moved to Sedona, Arizona, in the early 2000s for several years before they ultimately returned to New Orleans, the city they called home. Like the bright, mixed-fabric Robert Graham shirts that would become Morris’s signature style, the couple lived life colorfully.

Note: The exaggerated foliate-scrolled crest rail on the West Indies méridienne offered here is an elegant example of the distinctive regional influence applied to European forms on Caribbean furniture. The dimensionality of the carving paired with the caned back and seat and bulbous-turned legs is closely related to nearly identical pieces illustrated in West Indian Antique Furniture of the Lesser Antilles by Philip Sturm. Starting around 1830, palm fronds, flowers, leaves, shells, and other local flora and fauna were used in carvings on all forms of furniture, such as the carving on the present lot.

The form is a stylish example of what scholars consider to be the second phase of Phyfe’s work—a phase characterized by the revival of the ornamented Grecian style in French Empire design. The sofa offered as lot 35 is nearly identical to a “Grecian” box sofa in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago, featuring a die-stamped brass border, columnar stiles, elegant rosewood veneer, bronze mounts, and foliate-carved giltwood legs. Ref.: Brown, Michael K., and Peter M. Kenny. Duncan Phyfe: Master Cabinetmaker in New York. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Yale University Press, 2011. pp. 79-82.

46. American Egyptianesque Carved and Ebonized Armchair, c. 1875, possibly Pottier & Stymus, New York, New York, stylized falcon wing back panel, padded crest and arms on sphinx supports, reeded seat rail, turned and carved legs with lotus leaf detailing, h. 31 in., w. 27 in., d. 23 in. $1000/1500 Note: The Egyptian Revival of the late 19th century developed from a general cultural interest in the ancient world, which was rooted in the popularity of European Neoclassicism earlier in the century. By the 1870s, stylish New York cabinetmakers, such as the firm of Pottier & Stymus, incorporated Egyptian motifs in furniture, like those on the chair in the lot shown here. The chair’s distinctively Egyptian features, including the winged orb, lotus blossoms, and sphinx arms, and the chair’s overall angular design are nearly identical to three other documented examples in the collections of Atlanta’s High Museum of Art, the Museum of the Rhode Island School of Design, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (accession no. 1975-126-1).

77. Ida Rittenberg Kohlmeyer (American/New Orleans, 1912‑1997), “Study: Girl Reclining”, 1956, oil on masonite, signed lower right, 19 in. x 48 in., unframed. Ill.: Kohlmeyer, Ida. Introductory Essay for a Series of Paintings Concerning the Mood of Aloneness in Children. Tulane University Masters of Fine Arts Thesis, 1956. $8000/12000 Note: In the collection of paintings and drawings Ida Kohlmeyer presented for her Master’s Thesis in 1956, the artist focused on the mood of aloneness in children, which she portrayed through pencil, crayon, oil, and gouache. Kohlmeyer noted that to avoid “pathos and melodrama,” and to emphasize the “evasive quality of the mood,” she needed to paint quickly and directly from the models, resulting in fresh, powerful works. In the introductory essay she wrote for the thesis, Kohlmeyer observed: “vision and emotion are instantaneous and speed, at this point, seemed required to amalgamate the two.” In the seminal painting offered here, Kohlmeyer concentrates more on the figure of the child and less on the space around her than in previous works, such as “Study: Girl with Flower” (sold in these rooms September 9, 2017), in which the subject is smaller and the depiction of the room takes on more of an importance in the composition. Here Kohlmeyer deliberately attempted to unify the form and content by creating a pattern of dark and light throughout, that resulted in the figure and the background fusing into one continuous design. Additionally, references to classical reclining nudes may be observed in the pose of the model. A lovely early example of Kohlmeyer’s use of color, the palette complements the contemplative nature of the picture, as well as hinting at the artist’s abstract color block series to come.

Fritz Bultman (American/New Orleans, 1919‑1985), “Interior ‑ Game”, 1952, oil on canvas, monogrammed “FB” lower right, signed, dated “Aug 1952” and titled en verso, 30 in. x 38 in., framed. $30000/50000 Provenance: Gift of the Artist, c. 1950s; Private Collection, Uruguay. Exh.: Kootz Gallery, New York, Sept. 15‑ Oct. 4, 1952, no. 11. Note: Among the leading artists of the Abstract Expressionist generation, Fritz Bultman joined the “Irascibles” in 1950, signing a letter to the heads of the Metropolitan Museum of Art protesting the conservative nature of their exhibitions. However, Bultman missed the Life magazine famous photograph of the group in 1951, as he was studying sculpture in Italy at the time. By 1952, Bultman and his wife returned to New York City, where he became increasingly involved in the city’s vibrant art scene and taught at Pratt Institute until 1959. By the time of “Interior – Game” offered here from 1952, Bultman had transitioned from his earlier works based on mythological themes such as that of Actaeon, although hints of these myths may subtly remain in the aggressive nature of the elements vying within the composition. The bold color palette of reds and yellows are pitted against a network of black lines, hinting at the struggle between structure and chaos and the influences of gestural painting. Bultman’s upbringing in New Orleans remains within his works, with fire and heat represented by the color red a common element. The artist recalled the burning of the swamps in Louisiana as a boy: “What appears to be a sheet of water will be burning with very high flames against a blue sky – I don’t know anything else that seems to me as beautiful as that… It’s fire and water. You very seldom see them together in such close juxtaposition as you do when they are burning a swamp.” In addition to the use of color, a similar combination of circles and cruciform configurations to those seen in this painting appear throughout his work from the period, including one similarly titled “Interior Rain” of 1953. These meticulously crafted compositions bridge nature and personal narrative and set Bultman apart from his contemporaries. Bultman’s work was described by a critic in 1950 as having a “blood on the moon fierceness that strikes at the heart,” and the painting offered here is no exception.

Although the original square was destroyed during the Civil War, the new courthouse, which was constructed in 1872, and the buildings around it were quickly rebuilt. In the foreground of the painting offered here, “It’s a Big World - Oxford,” McCrady and his wife, Mary Basso McCrady, peruse a street vendor’s wares on the courthouse lawn while a small child pauses in his play. It was not uncommon for McCrady to paint self-portraits or place himself in a scene that he was creating. Self-portraiture was an important part of McCrady’s oeuvre; he felt that by including his own likeness, as well as those of the people around him, he was adding a psychological aspect to his work, as well as imbuing it with a part of his soul. McCrady painted many scenes of Oxford Square, including “Town Square, Oxford,” (which was destroyed in a fire), “Rural Symposium,” “The Square,” “The Courthouse,” “The Citadel,” (which features Lafayette Courthouse), “Political Rally,” (sold in these rooms October 11, 2008), and “Metamorphosis,” (sold in these rooms October 4, 2003). Additionally, in his 1964 work, “The Golden Rule,” McCrady featured a specific store from the Square, in this case a bargain store whose name is the title of the piece.
100. John McCrady (American/New Orleans, 1911‑1968), “It’s a Big World ‑ Oxford”, c. 1963‑65, carbon acrylic on board, signed lower right, titled lower left, artist label with title en verso, 22 in. x 30 in., original artist‑enhanced frame. $20000/30000 Provenance: Descended in the family of the artist. Note: Raised in Oxford, Mississippi, John McCrady had a profound connection with the city and often included its buildings in his paintings, particularly those around Historic Oxford Square, the location of Lafayette Courthouse.
Similarly, in the current lot, a crowd can be seen at 114 Courthouse Square - the location of Shaw and Sneed Hardware Store. This work can be dated to between the years 1963, when McCrady began his experimentation with the carbon acrylic method, and 1965, when the hardware store changed its name to Sneed’s Ace Hardware. Although the company, which is still run by descendants of the original owners, Parham Shaw and Payne Sneed, has since expanded into a larger building only a few blocks away, the original building at 114 Courthouse Square still exists. The three arched windows remain intact just as McCrady painted them. The space occupied by John and Mary McCrady, the child, and the vendor in the foreground, remains in use as a market on the first and third Saturday of every month. As such, McCrady has provided us with a slice of life in the 1960s that continues to resonate today. Ref.: Marshall, Keith. John McCrady: 1911-1968.

101. Louis C. Girault (American/Louisiana, act. New Orleans, 1870‑1892), “Bay Jaune (Fishing Camp on Pilings)”, oil on artist board, signed lower right, partial “F.W. Devoe & Co., NY” label en verso, 11 3/4 in. x 18 1/4 in., period frame. $2000/3000 Provenance: Collection of Dagmar Foley, New Orleans, LA. Note: Louis Girault, a cooper and cigar and tobacco merchant, pursued a career as an artist in the New Orleans area, where he was known to have honed his craft by copying works by other artists, including the renowned Richard Clague. This painting of a fishing camp on Bay Jaune closely follows an earlier painting of the same subject by Clague (sold in these rooms November 18, 2017, lot 344), which was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Aristide Hopkins of New Orleans and Biloxi. The Hopkins family was known for hosting social events for local artists at their family homes, and it is likely that is where Girault saw the painting. From there, he could have done sketches based on the painting itself, or gone to visit the site of the fishing camp before completing his own version.

Abrams, Inc. and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1994, see p. 154, for a cabinet with identical inlay. Note: The elaborately inlaid and painted parlor cabinet offered here is a stunning example of the tripartite cabinets made by Herter Brothers, a New York firm who created some of the most extravagant furniture of the late 19th century for prominent names such as Rockefeller and Vanderbilt. The colorful cabinet doors, elegantly painted with classical reserves, exemplify the Renaissance Revival style of the period and are possibly the work of Pierre-Victor Galland (1822-1892), a Parisian painter who was often commissioned by the firm to paint fanciful Renaissance-style scenes. The patterns used for the detailed inlay on the cabinet are found on documented Herter examples from this same period, such as a console table made for the William H. Vanderbilt residence and a similar tripartite cabinet made for a “Mrs. Cobby” of New York, which is documented by a bill of sale from the firm in the collection of The Currier Gallery of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Note: A student of William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Francois-Edouard Picot, Leon Jean Basile Perrault honed his artistic skills at the Académie des Beaux-Arts and Académie Julien in Paris. While well-regarded for his military, religious and allegorical paintings, he is most celebrated for his genre scenes of beautiful children such as the one offered in the lot presented here. The young girl sits atop a stone ledge, on her lap are three kittens, and to her side is the mother cat tending to her brood. In rendering the figure of the girl, Perrault utilizes a classic triangular composition to capture an idealized vision of a peasant child in the countryside, popular in Salon paintings of France during the time period. His subject is dressed in simple clothes and barefoot, although has the flawless skin and coral necklace of a wealthier class. She bears a knowing smile while gazing directly at the viewer, the end result a touchingly intimate portrayal of simple French country life.

236. Alexandre Calame (Swiss, 1810‑1864), “Paysage de Montagne”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 19 1/4 in. x 25 1/2 in., antique frame. $3000/5000 Provenance: Collection of Brazilian engineer Joaquim Eugenio de Lima. Note: Studying with landscape painter Francois Diday, Alexandre Calame began exhibiting his works in 1835. Calame was particularly known for his paintings of the Swiss Alps, which combined naturalistic details and the German Romantic style of the Dusseldorf school. The atmospheric effects in the background of the painting offered here are delicately rendered, creating a hazy mist covering the distant mountains. In the foreground, Calame employs his characteristic play of dark and light, highlighting the herd of cattle with a soft palette of naturalistic greens and browns.
237. Pair of Chinese Hardwood Waisted Corner‑Leg Stools, Fangdeng, Qing Dynasty (1644‑1911), square paneled top, high shaped stretchers, scroll feet, h. 19 in., w. 16 in., d. 16 1/4 in. $10000/20000
239. Ashley Longshore (American/Louisiana, 20th c.), “Eat Me”, 2007, oil and lacquer on canvas, signed lower left, 48 in. x 72 in., framed. $8000/12000 Note: In the painting offered here, the delightful array of edible treats with the tongue-incheek title “Eat Me” alludes, among other things, to Ashley Longshore’s celebration and criticism of modern consumerism. With a bold and colorful palette that mirrors the personality of the artist herself, Longshore enjoys exploring “American ambition from a female perspective.” Her canvases are packed to excess with vibrant, borderline brash imagery of pop culture often paired with eyebrow-raising phrases. Her resulting oeuvre is cheeky, whimsical, over the top and serves as an homage to American capitalism through the eyes of a female Pop Artist. 238. Pair of Chinese Hardwood Side Tables, Qing Dynasty (1644‑1911), square paneled top, openwork foliate frieze, medial shelf with cloud scroll apron, h. 31 1/2 in., w. 16 in., d. 16 in. $10000/20000

252. John T. Scott (American/New Orleans, 1940‑2007), “Abstract Kinetic Sculpture”, painted metal, unsigned, h. 46 1/2 in., w. 41 in., d. 12 in. $6000/8000 Provenance: Collection of Judy and the late Morris (1939‑2017) Massey, New Orleans. Note: John Scott’s vibrantly colored, dynamic artwork spans many media, with his kinetic sculpture perhaps the best known and most beloved by collectors. In the work offered here, the bright hues, carefully choreographed movement and abstract forms capture the elusive feel of New Orleans, a city with whom the artist was intricately connected. Scott was born in New Orleans and raised in the Lower Ninth Ward, and after college, the artist served as a Professor of Fine Art at Xavier University for forty years. As Richard Powell states: “New Orleans embodies an influx, an improvisatory entity – not only people and portraits, but streets, structures, and urban planning that defy social regimentation or aesthetic comportment. As it turns out, the art of Scott is similarly errant.” Ref.: Powell, Richard J. Circle Dance: The Art of John T. Scott. New Orleans: New Orleans Museum of Art, 2005. “John T.

256. Alex Beard (American/Louisiana, b. 1970), “Apples and Pears”, 1998, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 54 in. x 38 in., framed. $5000/8000 Note: A native of New York who has spent many years calling New Orleans home, Alex Beard has added to the New Orleans art world with his “Abstract Naturalism” painting style, which often includes elements of nature as the subject matter. Beard’s works, in both ink on paper and oil on canvas, can range from stylized, yet representational depictions of natural elements to almost fully abstracted representations with repetitive imagery that verge on tessellations, such as the current lot, “Apples and Pears.” With a great appreciation for the natural world and wildlife, particularly endangered animals, Beard often includes plants and animals in his paintings, examining the interconnections between culture and environment.

Exploring the connections in the world between wildlife and culture, Beard uses his experiences in nature to develop his artistic style and complexity. Working in pen and ink here, “Masai Warrior” displays Beard’s technical skills in ink drawing, combining layers of abstract shapes that combine to form a lion-like face, proud and fierce.

Vaudechamp soon made a name for himself depicting wealthy, fashionable citizens of Paris, and in 1831, he traveled to New Orleans, where portraitists were highly sought within the Creole community. The lady depicted here wears a classic 1830s style dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline, gathered bodice, natural waist, and sheer, puffed sleeves. Her luxurious dress, fur stole, and gold jewelry indicate that she is a woman of the upper class. Vaudechamp applies his flawless technique to depict the woman’s porcelain skin, the various fabrics of the dress, and the short fur of the stole to create a sophisticated portrayal of a prominent French woman.

267. Attributed to Charles Giroux (French/New Orleans, 1828‑1885), “Seated Native American Woman”, oil on board affixed to cradled wood panel, unsigned, typed label “Painted by C. Giroux ‑ c. 1850”, pencil‑inscribed “Altmayer” and “Chilton’s, Mobile, Ala” label en verso, 9 3/4 in. x 4 3/4 in., framed. $5000/7000 Provenance: The Jay P. Altmayer Family Collection, Mobile, AL. Note: Arriving in New Orleans around 1860, Charles Giroux quickly began painting his favorite subject, Louisiana landscapes. The majority of his works center around the local countryside, making use of Giroux’s romantic, luminous palette. In the rare and fascinating painting offered here, a Native American woman sits in front of a thatched hut, which would have been the preferred summer residence in Southern Louisiana, facilitating better air flow. The various tribes in the Louisiana/Mississippi area, including the Caddo, Atakapa, Tunica, Natchez, Chitimacha, and Choctaw, used the natural materials around them to build shelters and also to create beautiful works of functional art, including bead work and basket weaving. Here, Giroux illustrates a beautiful landscape and a unique window into 19th c. life in Louisiana.

Howard III, New Orleans, LA. Note: Throughout his career William Henry Buck created the most expansive known body of work in the 19th century portraying the rivers, lakes, and bayous of New Orleans and its surrounding areas. Buck’s masterful skill in painting landscapes is quite evident in the work offered here in the exquisite and subtle luminosity, the effects of light and shadow, and the carefully structured composition. The scene is dominated by a live oak tree - a hallmark of Buck’s landscapes; the sky is also given special attention with shades of cerulean blue and scattered clouds. Buck’s use of fine brushwork and careful attention to detail is especially successful for his rendering of a settlement along the horizon line. The painting exemplifies Buck’s skill as a colorist and painter – creating an enchanting vision of a Louisiana bayou.

Note: Several features of the pier table offered here are notably similar to Late Classical furniture made by New York cabinetmaker Joseph Meeks, as illustrated by Wendy Cooper in Classical Taste in America: 1800-1840.

Cooper notes that the elaborate curvature defines Meeks’ Late Classical furniture and marks it as “a distinctive American product.” (Cooper, 217). Ref.: Cooper, Wendy A.

279. Alfred Gault (American/New Orleans, b. 1840), “Valley of Yumuri, Cuba”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 34 in. x 51 in., period ebonized and gilt‑decorated cove frame with brass title plaque. $40000/60000 Note: Born in New Orleans in 1840, Alfred Gault had a career as an artist in New York as early as 1870. Though the artist’s biography is presently limited, his views of Cuba and Morocco, as well as his 1875 passport application and his mention in Lippincott’s Magazine as a participant in the 1880 Paris Salon tell us that he certainly traveled to various countries and captured scenes of a number of exotic locales. The highly detailed view of the Yumuri Valley that Gault has captured in the monumental painting offered here draws the viewer into the scene, where the vast expanse of land is dotted with palm trees and tiny details, such as the plantation building in the middle of the composition and the smoke stack near the horizon line. A man stands in the foreground with an oxen-drawn cart, waiting to be loaded with crops - perhaps tobacco or sugar cane. The history of Cuba during the 19th century is full of attempts at independence, which finally succeeded in 1898 with the conclusion of the War of Independence, when Spain and the United States reached an agreement to renounce any claims on Cuba. An earlier attempt at revolution, the Ten Years’ War, which took place from 1868-1878, was key in leading up to the ultimate fight for independence. The Yumuri Valley is near Matanzas, an important area sought after by the insurgents fighting Spanish control during the Ten Years’ War and afterward. While the Ten Years’ War was ultimately unsuccessful – the rebels were victorious in overtaking the eastern side of the island, but could not gain control of key areas such as Matanzas, Havana, and Pinar del Rio – this revolution led to further attempts later in the century. By January of 1896, the rebels had invaded these crucial provinces and reached the westernmost tip of the island, triumphing in gaining independence for Cuba. Other artists painting scenes of Cuba have used a similar format to the one here for depicting the vast landscape - a panoramic view with a low horizon line and details to wonderfully show off the beautiful rolling hills, white puffy clouded skies, and verdant foliage of the Cuban landscape. Artists such as Winslow Homer, Edmund Darch Lewis, Esteban Chartrand, and Miguel Arias painted in Cuba, and many of them recorded parallel scenes. The allure of the Cuban landscape has clearly always fascinated those who travel there looking for beauty to capture on canvas. Ref.: Bondil, Nathalie, ed. Cuba: Art and History from 1868 to Today.

Oakes, Warren, OH. Ill.: Dubrow, Richard. American Furniture of the 19th c., 1840-1888. Atglen, PA: Schiffer, pp. 110-112; Schwartz, Marvin. Edward Stanek, and Douglas True. The Furniture of John Henry Belter and the Rococo Revival. New York: Dutton, pp. 48, 49, 60, 66. Note: The suite offered here is an exceptionally rare group of furniture by the illustrious New York cabinetmaker John Henry Belter. The suite, which prominently features carved busts of American political and European literary luminaries, is reflective of a specific moment in mid-19th century U.S. history and pays homage to the identity and idealism of the young and expanding American republic. The busts surmounting the settee are identified as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, who have been historicized within American culture as the most influential Founding Fathers of the United States. The two méridiennes feature the busts of English poets William Shakespeare and John Milton, and the four side chairs feature busts of Chaucer, Dante, Virgil, and Homer. The grouping of prominent Americans with some of the most influential literary figures of English and European history may have been a statement representative of the growing power and importance of the United States on the world stage and establishing Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson as philosophical intellectuals on par with these literary figures—a notable commentary coming from Belter, who immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in 1833. The seven-piece suite is also stylistically rare among Belter’s work, featuring exaggerated scrolled backs and Louis XVI-style fluted legs, as opposed to the typical Louis XV-style cabriole leg more commonly seen on Belter furniture. The side chairs include round seats, in contrast to the signature serpentine-shaped Belter seat. Due to the political and literary decorative themes within this suite, it is possible Belter intended for this group to be completely distinctive from his more naturalistic Rococo style.

381. Valerie Jaudon (American/Mississippi, b. 1945), “Pascagoula”, 1974, oil on gallery‑wrapped canvas, signed, titled and dated en verso, 24 in. x 24 in., unframed. $2000/3000 Note: Valerie Jaudon is famously linked to the Pattern and Decoration movement of the 1970s, whose goal was to reject the established hierarchies of Western art as well as the prevailing praise for Conceptualism and Minimalism that was dominating the art world at the time. Jaudon and other members of the movement aimed to elevate the aesthetics of decorative patterns and arts traditionally considered “feminine” and “domestic” (including crafting, embroidery, knitting, etc…). They embraced the arts of the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South and Central America and challenged the superiority of Western art historical traditions. The lot offered here showcases Jaudon’s adapt skill in using color and pattern to define her canvases. Her short, dense brushstrokes create an almost mosaic-like field of color with each shade carefully placed to balance the composition.

Note: Coming from a family of musicians, Sylvester Handy was the son of John and Eliza Handy, who played the violin and piano; his siblings also played instruments – his brother John “Captain” experimented with multiple instruments, particularly clarinet and saxophone, his brother Julius played guitar, and his sister Mary studied piano. While all four of the children were born in Pass Christian, Mississippi, John began playing in New Orleans and Baton Rouge in the 1920s with his band “The Shakers,” and Sylvester joined him in 1932. Sylvester Handy accompanied his older brother both on live shows and for many recordings. In the work offered here, Sylvester Handy’s notable contribution to the New Orleans music scene is recognized by his inclusion in the Preservation Hall Portrait series by Noel Rockmore. Commissioned by Larry Borenstein, the series was composed of paintings of the full band playing at Preservation Hall and also selected portraits of single musicians chosen for focused sessions. The composition depicts not only the likeness of Handy, but also captures the bond between the man and his craft. The instrument and figure are a single visual element, with a presence and dynamic quality indicative of jazz. Ref.: Borenstein, Larry and Bill Russell. Preservation Hall Portraits.

Note: Born a free person of color in antebellum southern Virginia, Thomas Day established a furniture-making business in Milton, North Carolina and became a master craftsman who sold his unique late Classical-style furniture to the wealthy planter class. By 1850, Day’s shop was the largest furniture business in the state of North Carolina and his distinctive scroll motif, dramatic in proportion compared to similar furniture of the period, became his signature design element. The sideboard offered here is closely related to a sideboard in the collection of the North Carolina Museum of History, featuring similarly scrolled supports, highly figured mahogany, and decorative scrolled brackets flanking the upper superstructure.
