Morris Broderson Drawing - Infant & Toy Cat (1990)
Est: $600 - $900
**Originally Listed At $400** Morris Gaylord Broderson (American, 1928-2011). Untitled graphite on paper, 1990. Signed and dated at lower left. Morris Broderson was an artist who worked in a variety of media, including oil, watercolor, pastel, and graphite as we see in this example depicting a baby and a toy stuffed kitty cat propped on a petite wooden chair with a woven rattan seat. In Broderson's early works, he engaged with allegorical themes such as the Crucifixion. What's more he was inspired by poet Garcia Lorca and Kabuki legends. Later works represent both common and relatively exotic subjects, flowers, textiles, vases, and portraiture. His images border on fantasy, conjuring layered associations and references. Size (sight view): 13.4" L x 10" W (34 cm x 25.4 cm) Size (frame): 20.5" L x 16.625" W (52.1 cm x 42.2 cm) This drawing is accompanied by two Morris Broderson exhibition pamphlets. One includes an essay written by John Canaday in October of 1978. Canaday opens with the following, "Somewhere within any concept of art since the Renaissance is the idea of personal communication between artist and observer, an idea that takes on special importance in the case of Morris Broderson. His first appearance in New York was in the Whitney's "Young America - 1960" " Canaday goes on to speak of Broderson as standing out for his figural work during a period when Abstract Expressionism and the New York School were favored. He wrote, "Morris Broderson has remained an isolated figure, communicating in a pictorial language that is never modish, never eccentric, yet unmistakably individual. Denied from birth the primary form of communication through hearing and speaking, Broderson responds to the visual world with a reverence and intensity that may be, in turn, denied to the rest of us" More about the artist: Born deaf, Broderson attended the Berkeley School for the Deaf in Berkeley, California. When he was 14 years old, his aunt Joan Ankrum, a gallery owner, recognized his artistic talent and introduced him to Francis DeErdeley, the Director of the Pasadena Art Institute. DeErdeley was impressed and agreed to mentor the young Broderson, eventually encouraging him to leave junior high school in order to attend the University of Southern California, Los Angeles where DeErdeley taught art. Broderson's honors included New Talent USA from "Art in America" and First Prize and Purchase at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His work has been exhibited at the M.H. De Young Museum, San Francisco, and the University of Arizona, Tucson. His work has also been collected by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, and the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C., among others.

Est: $1,500 - $2,000
Morris Gaylord Broderson (American, 1928-2011), "Pieta" oil painting, 1960. Signed and dated on the lower left by the artist. Morris Broderson was an artist who worked in a variety of media, including watercolor, pastel, and oil. In his early works, Broderson engaged with allegorical themes such as the Crucifixion and the Pieta as we see in this example - note how Crosses serve as daggers piercing Mary's heart as she carries her Son in the bleak landscape of grey, black, and white hues. Morrison was also inspired by poet Garcia Lorca and Kabuki legends. Later works represent both common and relatively exotic subjects, flowers, textiles, vases, and portraiture. Broderson's images conjure layered associations and references, and his religious compositions also resonate with humankind's emotive response to the world. Size: 49.875" L x 36" W (126.7 cm x 91.4 cm); 50.625" L x 36.75" W (128.6 cm x 93.3 cm) framed Born deaf, Broderson attended the Berkeley School for the Deaf in Berkeley, California. When he was 14 years old, his aunt Joan Ankrum, a gallery owner, noticed his artistic talent and introduced him to Francis DeErdeley, the Director of the Pasadena Art Institute. DeErdeley recognized the young Broderson's immense talent, agreed to mentor him, and eventually encouraged him to leave junior high school in order to attend the University of Southern California, Los Angeles where DeErdeley taught art. Broderson's honors included New Talent USA from "Art in America" and First Prize and Purchase at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His work has been exhibited at the M.H. De Young Museum, San Francisco, and the University of Arizona, Tucson. His work has also been collected by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, and the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C., among others.
