The Michael Howard Theater Collection Lots 501-549

MICHAEL HOWARD

As an actor, director, and educator, Michael Howard has been a significant part of New York City’s rich theatrical history for more than 60 years. He directed shows on the Great White Way for the Theatre Guild, helped pioneer the Off-Broadway Theater Movement, and has directed at regional and stock theaters across the country. Mr. Howard has also taught at the Julliard School, Yale School of Drama, American Conservatory Theatre, and Boston University, but his most acclaimed teaching is done at his studios. He continues to train notable actors in all facets of Theatre, Film, and Television in accordance with his philosophy that each actor must develop their own method of performing. Since 1953, Michael Howard Studios has been dedicated to nurturing diverse acting talent in preparation for professional careers. It began as a small community of actors who collaborated under the leadership of Michael Howard its founder and artistic director, and has grown into a world-class professional acting studio, as well as the longest-running privately owned acting studio in New York. Mr. Howard believes that “…collecting is somewhere in [his] DNA,” citing the powerful formative influence of Lee Strasburg not only on his professional development, but also on his passion for collecting. In particular, Mr. Howard holds Strasburg in high esteem for his extraordinary level of scholarship as well as his deep admiration and respect for the acting profession. Inspired by this master teacher, Mr. Howard began searching every imaginable venue for material related to the international acting profession. The fruits of this lifelong quest, begun more than 60 years ago, include some of Mr. Howard’s personal favorites—a 1790 needlework rendition of “The Seven Ages of Man” speech from Shakespeare’s As You Like It, and a needlework sampler of the Commedia dell’Arte circa 1690, as well as many others. The Michael Howard Collection will be sold in this auction and in the forthcoming Skinner auction of Fine Books & Manuscripts on November 18, 2012.

509 Thomas Hicks (American, 1823-1890) Edwin Booth as Iago Signed and dated “T Hicks/18...” l.r., identified on a type label affixed to the frame backing. Oil on canvas, 14 1/8 x 10 in. (35.8 x 25.5 cm), framed. Condition: Lined, retouch, craquelure. Provenance: Ex collection James Abbe, Jr., Oyster Bay, New York. N.B. The label affixed to the back gives the date of the painting as 1864, although the full date is no longer legible due to surface restoration to the l.r. corner. After Edwin Booth’s critically acclaimed portrayal of Iago in Shakespeare’s Othello in 1860, Thomas Hicks painted a full-length, life-sized portrait of the actor in that role. The artist subsequently made at least four small copies. In addition to the painting at hand, versions are located at the Hampden-Booth Theatre Library in New York, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the Century Association, New York. Another copy was sold by Adelson Galleries, Inc., 154 Newbury St., Boston in the late 1960s or early 1970s; the current owner is unknown. The painting being offered here may be the one sold at Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, January 26, 1974, lot 550. Hicks enjoyed a close friendship with Booth, and the full-length portrait served to bolster his own fame as an artist while celebrating Booth’s talents. The portrait was not a commissioned piece, since Hicks kept the portrait himself. However he lent it to the actor for display at upcoming performances, exhibiting it in Philadelphia and New York City. The success of the Iago portrait led Hicks to paint Booth in the Shakespearean roles of Hamlet, Shylock, and Richelieu as well. Theatrical portraiture was a bridge between the respected genre of history painting and more common genre of portraiture, and the Shakespearean theme endowed the work with higher regard due to its literary and historical associations. (See the Doctoral Thesis of Letha Clair Robertson, The Art of Thomas Hicks and Celebrity Culture in Mid-Nineteenth-Century New York, University of Kansas, 2010). $4,000-6,000
