Birney Quick was born in 1912, in Proctor, MN. The family moved to Duluth and he graduated from Denfeld High School in 1931. Quick spent the early 1930s in the East, attending the Vesper George School of Art in Boston (1931-1934) and studying at several Massachusetts and New York art colonies, particularly the Barn Studio in Andover, Massachusetts, and in Woodstock, New York. In 1936 and 1937 he was awarded the prestigious Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation fellowship and spent the summers studying at the Tiffany estate on Long Island. In 1937 he returned to Duluth, shared a studio with fellow artist Kunte Heldner, opened a gallery, and was employed as sculpture and art instructor at the College of St. Scholastica (1938-1940). Quick joined the Army Air Corps in 1943, spending part of his tour painting murals at the Keesler Base, Biloxi, MS. In 1946 he joined the faculty of the Minneapolis School of Art, now the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the college in 1951, was promoted to associate professor in 1964 and to professor in 1973, and also taught in the school's evening program. In 1973 he received an honorary Master of Fine Arts degree from MCAD and at his December, 1977, retirement was named the school's first professor emeritus. In 1947 Quick and Byron Bradley of the Kilbride-Bradley Gallery, Minneapolis, began the Grand Marais Outdoor School of Painting as part of the Minneapolis School of Art's summer program. During 1949-1951 the classes were held in Red Wing and Minneapolis, but the program was moved back to Grand Marais in 1952 and was rechristened the Town Hall Art Colony. In 1956 the art school terminated its sponsorship of the colony, and Quick and Bradley became its sole owners. They renamed it the Grand Marais Art Colony. During his career Quick’s work was shown in numerous one-man and group exhibitions in such galleries as Duluth's Art Institute and the Tweed Museum of Art; Minneapolis's Harriet Hanley Gallery, Walker Art Center, Kilbride-Bradley Gallery, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Martin Gallery, and MCAD; and the Art Institute of Chicago. Quick had works in American Federation of Art and United States Information Service traveling exhibits, and produced watercolor illustrations for Ford Times magazine (1950s-1970). His highly acclaimed murals can be seen in buildings in Coleraine, Grand Marais, Duluth, and St. Paul, all in Minnesota. In 1975 he was named an Outstanding Educator of America.

Robert Luedtke (Duluth, MN / Bisbee, AZ) Untitled (backs of row houses) watercolor on paper, 8 x 10” $100.00

“I paint in both oils and watercolors - much of my work is landscape. The human figure and still life are also subject matter I enjoy painting. Most of my work is done on location. I would consider myself a plein air painter. Art has always been an important part of my life. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. Over the years I have worked in the areas of sculpture, ceramics and jewelry. Now, painting has become my main endeavor. Before I retired, I taught Art in the Duluth Minnesota School System. I live and work in Duluth, Minnesota during the summer and in Bisbee, Arizona during the winter. The contrast of Northern Minnesota and Southern Arizona offers great challenges for painting the landscape. “ - -Robert Luedtke

Maude Goodman (British, 1860-1938) Songs of Love, 1889 chromolithograph on paper, 13 x 17” $80.00

Goodman was born in Manchester but moved to London where she became a pupil of Edward Poynter. She married Arthur Scanes in 1882 but continued to use her maiden name. She exhibited 54 works during the years 1874-1901 at the Royal Academy. She also showed works at the Chicago World Exposition in 1893. Her painting Hush was included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.[4] She was mentioned by Dorothy L. Sayers in The Wimsey Papers VI as an overly cloying painter of idealised children in Arcadian settings; In the case of this print titled “Songs of Love,” the subject appears to be more cynical than cloying, if you look at the attitudes of the audience.

Godey's Lady's Book, alternatively known as Godey's Magazine and Lady's Book, was a United States women's magazine that was published in Philadelphia from 1830–1878. The most widely circulated magazine in the period before the Civil War, its circulation rose from 70,000 in the 1840s to 150,000 in 1860. In the 1860s Godey intended to take advantage of the popularity of gift books, many of which were marketed specifically to women. Each issue contained poetry, articles, and engravings created by prominent writers and other artists of the time. Sarah Josepha Hale (author of "Mary Had a Little Lamb") was its editor from 1837 until 1877 and only published original, American manuscripts. Although the magazine was read and contained work by both men and women, Hale published three special issues that only included work done by women.

Sven August Knut Heldner is one of the most well-known artists to have emerged from northern Minnesota in the early 20th century. He was born in Verderlsov, Smoland, Sweden in 1877 and emigrated to the United States in 1902. He began his artistic training in Sweden at the National Royal Academy of Stockholm and Karlskrona Technical School after returning from duty in the Swedish navy. While in the navy he was able to view great paintings throughout Europe, which influenced his intentions of becoming an artist. When he arrived in the United States at 23 he began working as a cobbler, miner, and lumberjack in Duluth, MN before becoming an artist full time. In Minnesota Heldner studied at the Minnesota School of Fine Art (today’s Minnesota College of Art and Design) and won a gold medal at the Minnesota State Fair in 1915. While gaining recognition for ruggedly painted scenes of miners, loggers, and landscapes, he continued to study art at the Chicago Art Institute, the Arts Students League in New York, and the Academy of Scandinavian Art in Paris. Heldner married one of his students in Duluth in 1923 -- Colette Pope Heldner soon became a recognized artist in her own right. The Heldners spent winters in Louisiana and summers in Duluth during the 1920’s, before moving permanently to New Orleans. He had several important exhibitions in New York, Chicago, New Orleans, Paris and Stockholm, before dying in New Orleans in 1952. Heldner’s work is represented in many museum collections, including the LSU Museum of Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Tweed Museum of Art University of Minnesota Duluth, the New Orleans Art Museum, and Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Feodor von Luerzer (American b. Austria, 1851-1913) Untitled (forest landscape, probably western U.S.) oil on canvas, ca. 1895-1920s, oil on canvas, 20 x 30” $2200.00

Von Luerzer was born in 1851in Salzburg Province, Austria, the third of eleven children of Count Matthias von Luerzer. Feodor was in line to succeed to his father's title. The count was chief forester of the district and it was his wish that his elder son would take over this position. von Luerzer trained to become an army officer and in 1872 was commissioned a captain. Records at the Vienna Art Academy indicate that von Luerzer was registered as a student in 1884-1885. Today he is well known for landscapes featuring forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife, inspired by his time in northern Minnesota, Idaho, northern California, and Washington state.

Von Luerzer arrived in the U.S. in 1886 and found work in Milwaukee, where the commercial production of immense panoramic paintings by teams of artists was at that time a local industry. The paintings generally depicted Civil War battles or religious subjects and were for the most part the work of German artists who had been brought to the United States for the purpose. That same year von Luerzer was in Cleveland, where he applied for U.S. citizenship on May 6, 1887. In the spring of 1889 von Luerzer moved to Duluth, where he established himself as a professional artist with a studio in the Ingalls Block. In Duluth he became interested in amateur theatrical performances and was an enthusiastic member of a local Turnverein, a gymnastics organization with a liberal and somewhat anticlerical bent. One of von Luerzer's friends in Duluth was Carl Thiel, a photographer and former actor who had a studio in the same building. Another friend was John Fery (1859-1934), a fellow Austrian whose career as a landscape artist was in many respects similar to van Luerzer's. The two artists collaborated on wall paintings commissioned by a local brewery as decorations for a tap roam. The paintings can now be seen in the Fitger’s Brewery and Pickwick Restaurant buildings in Duluth. On November 25, 1897 von Leurzer he married Ella Brautigam, whose German immigrant parents owned a picnic ground on the Lake Superior shore.

In the spring of 1904 von Luerzer and his wife left for California. The Duluth Herald reported in June that he intended to paint at the Calaveras Grove, a stand of giant sequoia trees owned by the Duluth timber magnate Robert Whiteside, who commissioned some paintings of the trees. In 1907 his wife's brothers purchased property on Lake Coeur d'Alene in western Idaho. Von Luerzer and his wife visited the place the following summer. He built a cabin on the property and in the summer of 1909 closed his Duluth studio and moved with his wife and son to Coeur d'Alene. His arrival in Coeur d'Alene was reported by a local newspaper on August 21, 1909. He intended to spend the coming winter in Spokane, and the von Leurzers’ arrival was noted by the Spokane Evening Chronicle on November 9, 1909. Spokane provided von Luerzer with a proper studio, which was located in the Auditorium Building at the northwest comer of Post and Main. For the rest of his life von Luerzer and his family divided their time between Coeur d'Alene and Spokane. Von Luerzer died in Spokane on August 14, 1913.

William Henry Chandler, or from his studio (American, 1854-1928) Untitled (American Indian campsite by lake) pastel on heavy paper, 14 x 27” $150.00

William Henry Chandler (1854 – February 26, 1928) was an American pastel artist. His works include landscapes, winter landscapes, marine and seascapes, still life and fowl. Chandler was born in New York City and raised by deeply religious Christian parents. Chandler's first job was in Chicago as a carver of cameos. While in Chicago, he married and he and his wife had three daughters. His wife and youngest daughter died early in his marriage. Upon their deaths, Chandler moved to New Jersey, so that his sister could help care for his two surviving daughters. After moving to New Jersey in 1887, Chandler and his brother started the William Henry Chandler Company in New York City. It was at this company that Chandler would produce his artworks that he is known for today. His brother was put in charge of the framing, packing and selling of the works. His art was sold through stores nationwide, including Marshall Fields and The May Company. He worked in pastels, imported from France. At his company, he employed 20 other artists, who also worked on pastel paintings. His work was exhibited at the International Exposition in Paris in 1900–1901. He was greatly influenced by the Hudson River School of Art. In turn, it is said that his work influenced other artists, such as Maxfield Parrish. Chandler was a popular artist in his own time. His style was frequently copied by other artists of the era. His original works were mass-produced as prints and lithographs by such publishing houses as Taber-Prang, Hallen and Weiner (NY), Joseph Hoover (Philadelphia), and Mueller and Lucksinger Co. (NY). Chandler died in 1928 and is buried at the Rosedale Cemetery in Orange, New Jersey.

Marion Kavanaugh Wachtel (American 1873 - 1954) The Oaks printed reproduction after an original work, 24 x 32” $165.00

Marion Kavanaugh Wachtel (1876-1954) was born in Milwaukee, WI. She studied with John Vanderpoel at the Chicago Art Institute and with William Merritt Chase in New York City. For two years, she taught art at the Chicago Art Institute and then in 1903 traveled to Northern California. She continued her studies there with William Keith and began exhibiting watercolors in the San Francisco Art Association exhibitions. By 1904, she was living in Southern California and was married to artist Elmer Wachtel. Their home was in an art community near the Arroyo in Pasadena, a favorite location for landscape painters of that era. There were beautiful oak, sycamore, and eucalyptus trees lining the valley, and a clear view of the Sierra Madre Mountains. These local scenes became the subjects for many of her watercolors. Both of the Wachtels were pursuing careers as full-time fine art painters so they were able to take extended painting trips to remote areas of California. Often they camped out and explored areas near the coast and inland valleys, seeking out California's beautiful landscape and unique natural light. The works they produced on these excursions were sold at art galleries in Los Angeles. By the 1920s, she had developed a personal style of watercolor painting and mastered a technique of slowly building transparent washes of color. After the paint dried, she went back into the work with pastels to blend shapes, soften edges and add highlights. This was to be the height of her career and at this time she was one of the premier watercolorists in Southern California. When the California Water Color Society formed in 1921, she was a founding member. Her works were often singled out for special mention in reviews of the period, particularly those published in the Los Angeles Times. When her husband died in 1929, she stopped exhibiting for several years, then began showing oil paintings and watercolors after the mid1930s. She continued to produce watercolors and teach painting into the early 1950s.

Born in 1901 in Hamburg, Germany, Richard Lindner became a fine-art painter of hard-edge abstract figures, a fashion illustrator and art educator. His signature figural works reflect his perception of the un-fulfillment of pop culture and are shown in surreal settings with garish bright colors, flat forms and faces with severe expressions. Among them are streetwalkers, military personnel, mannequins and circus performers---all looking mechanical and unhappy. Lindner spent his childhood in Nuremberg and studied there at the Kunstgewerbeschule. From 1924 to 1927 he lived in Munich where he studied from 1925 at the Kunstakademie. He moved to Berlin and stayed there until 1928 and then returned to Munich to become art director of a publishing firm. He remained there until 1933 when he was forced to flee to Paris, where he became politically engaged, sought contact with French artists and earned his living as a commercial artist. Lindner was interred when the war broke out in 1939 and later served in the French army. In 1941 he went to America where he worked in New York as an illustrator of books and magazines and made contact with New York artists and German emigrants. In 1948 he became an American citizen. From 1952 to 1967, Lindner taught at the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, and from 1967 at Yale University School of Art and Architecture, New Haven. In 1965 he became Guest Professor at the Akademie für Bildende Künste, Hamburg. His paintings at this time used the sexual symbolism of advertising and investigated definitions of gender roles in the media. Lindner died in 1978.

John L. Peyton was born in Proctor, MN in 1907. As he grew up, he traveled the lakes and rivers of the back country on his own or in the company of loggers, trappers or Native Americans. After graduating from Central High School in Duluth, he attended Philips Exeter Academy and went on to Yale where he majored in Latin and History. He attended the Art Students League of New York, where he studied with Charles Burchfield, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and George Grosz. He later studied painting under Duluth artists David Ericson and Knute Heldner. He worked as a banker, but his first loves were painting and nature. John worked in watercolor, oils, pastel and acrylic and in the final years of his life he became very excited about computer-generated art. His painting and illustrations reflected a love and respect for the environment and an appreciation of northern Minnesota history and its indigenous people. In 1970, he opened the Lake Superior Art Gallery in Duluth and gave art lessons, held exhibits, and sold art. He took an active part in efforts to extend National Forest boundaries in the Wild Rivers program against development and pollution. He organized the "Stop the Freeway" movement in the 1970s, thereby helping to give Duluth its beautiful lakewalk along I-35, enjoyed by residents and tourists alike. Peyton had articles and illustrations published in Outdoor Life, Country Gentleman, Blue Book, Successful Farming and many juvenile publications. He wrote and illustrated five books. His first book, The Stone Canoe retells legends of the Ojibiwe and won the 1991 Minnesota Book Award for fiction. Voices from the Ice, a childrens' book of an Ojibwe family's trip to the sugarbush was published in 1991. Faces in the Firelight, a novel, was published in 1992. Peyton’s autobiography Bright Beat the Water came in 1992.
