Robert Remsen Vickrey (American/Florida, 1926-2011) , "Comma", 1960, egg tempera on masonite, signed lower right, partial "Midtown Galleries, A.D. Gruskin, Director, NY" label with artist and title and pencil-inscribed "Midtown" en verso, 25 3/4 in. x 39 3/4 in., framed . Provenance: Private Collection, Shreveport, LA. Note: Robert Remsen Vickrey was a leading figure of the magic realism school who mastered the difficult technique of egg tempera painting while a student at Yale. In the 1950s and 60s, Vickrey was a prominent artist, exhibiting in the Whitney Museum’s annual exhibitions showcasing contemporary art. During this time, he also received dozens of portrait commissions for the cover of Time magazine. Not only did Vickrey excel at the technicality of the egg tempera medium, he became an expert on it, writing two books on the subject. Vickrey’s paintings combine realism and surrealism in city scenes, often depicting children, with his own as models. In the obituary of the artist, the NY Times specifically mentions the painting offered here, "Comma," dating to 1960, as an example of his technical skill since he painstakingly painted 4,000 individual bricks in the wall in the background. The composition shows a young boy seated on a wooden crate holding an American flag, his back to the viewer. The title refers to the comma painted on the brick wall in the background.

Ted Ellis (American/New Orleans, b. 1963) , "High in that Cotton", oil on canvas board, signed lower right, signed and printed artist's biography en verso, 10 in. x 8 in., framed. Note: Growing up in the Lower Ninth Ward, a young Ted Ellis would frequent the French Quarter to observe and interact with the various local artists who populated the streets. “I spent a lot of weekends in the French Quarter bugging the artists. I was the kid with a thousand questions.” While art and art education was always his main passion, he opted for a more traditional education and studied chemistry in college. He spent several years as an environmental chemist before quitting his job in 1996 to dedicate his full attention to art. From then on his craft flourished, and he found a following. In 2009 he was commissioned to paint a portrait of President Barack Obama for the Black Chamber of Commerce and the National Newspaper Publishers Foundation Inaugural Gala in Washington, D.C. A self-described “Creative Historian,” Ellis uses his work to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of African-American history. His style is bold and colorful with impressionistic brushstrokes. In the lot presented here, a man is caught mid-motion in the fields picking cotton. The composition is close-cropped, exemplifying the captured energy of the vibrant subject-matter. Ref.: Kahn, K. Pica. “Creative Historian.” Coast Monthly 8.3 (2015), 78-81.

Curtis of Charleston SC", sitter identified and inscribed "Intendant of the town of Camden S.C. from April 1866 to April 1868" and "Newman Galleries , Philadelphia" labels en verso, 30 in. x 25 in., framed. Provenance: Descended in the family of the sitter. Note: Robert J. Curtis, known for his portraiture in Charleston and the surrounding areas, was trained in Philadelphia under John Neagle (1796-1865). In the early 1830s, Curtis began advertising in the Charleston Courier and by the late 1830s had received critical acclaim from the same publication. His 1838 portrait of the Seminole Indian Osceola was widely praised and reproduced in lithograph form by William Keenan (b. 1810). William J. Gerald, a merchant in Camden, SC, married Eliza Jane Clarkson in 1833; the couple had nine children. After his wife’s death and the end of the Civil War, Gerald acted as Intendant (a past term for mayor) of Camden for two years following his efforts, along with residents of Augusta, GA, and Newberry, SC, to provide goods for the citizens of Columbia, SC. The city of Columbia had been looted and burned by some of General Sherman’s troops in the aftermath of the war. Ref.: Charleston Courier. Charleston, SC. Feb. 21 and Apr. 26, 1838; The Daily Phoenix. Columbia, SC. Apr. 22, 1865.
