PARRISH

Lot 190

Circle of MAXFIELD PARRISH (American 1870-1966)

Robin Hood and His Merry Men – a mural

Oil on canvas

Possibly initialed lower right with camouflaged “MP”

32" x 168" (unframed)

Estimate $7,000-$10,000

 

Provenance: Private collection, Davenport, Iowa

In 1906 the Robin Hood Flour Mill was erected in the city of Davenport Iowa. Their mascot-a spry but beardless Robin Hood-was a fixture on their marketing and advertising materials, stylistically changing every decade or so. It is possible that the offered lot once hung in the Davenport offices of Robin Hood Flour Mill and that it may have been rescued or salvaged from the building when it was destroyed by fire in 1974.

There are certainly stylistic similarities in the offered lot to early works by Parrish. Regardless of who the author of this mural is, the connection to the Brandywine School (the school in which Parrish attended) would seem undeniable.

Estimate $2,000-$3,000

 

Savage is perhaps one of the most influential artists and teachers of the Harlem Renaissance. Her journey, like so many African American artists was fraught with hardship and rejection. Her artistic skill combined with her iron will enabled her to eventually study in Paris. Upon her return she opened a studio and later became the first director of WPA-funded Harlem Community Art Center, which played a critical role in developing many young black artists such as William Artis, Jacob Lawrence and Norman Lewis. No one is quite sure just how much of Savages work has survived. For economic reasons most of her work was cast in plaster, which does not always endure the rigors of time, as do more traditional materials such as bronze. Some have been speculated that towards the end of her life she herself destroyed many reaming examples of her works. Furthermore, there is at present scant information regarding her exact production methods or quantities. Additionally, it is known that at various times during (and most likely soon after) her life additional casts of certain subject were produced therefore making it more difficult to accurately ascribe dates to surviving examples of her work.
