Artist Susan Oliver was born in Birmingham and has lived and traveled extensively throughout Europe, particularly in France, Italy and Austria. While in Vienna, Oliver began to paint in earnest, consulting the professors of the Hundertwasser class of Vienna Academy of Painting. She was greatly influenced by the bold usage of color of the German expressionists during her years in Austria. Susan Oliver's works hang in corporate and private collections in Europe and throughout the United States.

"3 Graces"

$1575

37" x 26"
Three separate etchings
Artist proofs
By Nall: 50% of proceeds from this item will benefit the Nall Hollis Foundation.

""Three Graces is a series of three 1984 etchings done in Vence, France; one of the last and certainly the largest etchings I did. Each passed through the press one time, tea splattered and hand inked with 3 or 4 different colored inks by me on hand-made paper. "Trilogy", the largest artist proofs, is fertility gods that I used as models. They were 35,000 years old. I borrowed the plaster replicas from the Louvre Museum in Paris and drew the Vallee des Merveilles, an archeological site in itself, as a backdrop behind these 3 separate etching plates--T Venus of Willendorf, La Polichinelle, Venus of Lespuges"--Nall, the artist

Lithograph, 39.5x27
By Steve Skidmore
50% of proceeds from this item will benefit the Nall Hollis Foundation.

Skidmore and I worked closely together as he was my guest in my home in France where I taught him etching.--Nall

As told by Steve Skidmore before his death at 50 years of age in 1999:

"Until recently my father, Dave Skidmore, had a sign shop in Birmingham, Alabama. He studied lettering from an early age and worked as a sign painter all his working life. His influence, the influence of Frank Fleming--an artist in Birmingham I met in 1973, and the influence of Nall Hollis-- an artist from Alabama, I met around the same time through Tom Miller, an art historian retired from working at the Cloisters Museum in New York State. Because they were the earliest influences on me, in some ways must be considered the strongest, because it was in the world of their work and their expectations that I began to form my first judgments about my own work.

"Mose T"

32.5" x 24.5"
By Mose Tolliver: 50% of proceeds from this item will benefit the Nall Hollis Foundation.

Mose Tolliver, one of the elder statesmen of folk art, was born July 4, 1915 (to 1920 - the exact date and year are in question) in Pike Road community near Pintala, Alabama. Mose T, as he has become known, moved to Montgomery as a teenager soon after his father died and worked there for many years as a gardener, farmer, and house painter before an accident in the late 1960's left him with crushed legs and precipitated a period of drunken depression. Encouraged by a former employer to take up painting, Mose T picked up a paintbrush, found his calling and the world of folk art was forever enriched. A self-taught artist, Mose began to paint in his trademark palette of house paint, compulsively creating his own unique paintings of birds, snakes, flowers and tree forms - later adding people and other animals. Since the early 1980's his works have been widely exhibited in many folk art galleries and museums and have been increasingly collected over the years. Mose Tolliver is recognized today as one of the most important folk artists in the nation.

Mose Tolliver is part of numerous permanent folk art collections including:
Birmingham Museum of Art
Akron Art Museum
Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art

Many folk art exhibitions show Mose Tolliver works including:
Retrospective, American Folk Art Museum, New York, NY
Passionate Visions of the American South, New Orleans, LA

By Jean-Claude Novaro: 50% of proceeds from this item will benefit the Nall Hollis Foundation.

Donated from the private collection of internationally acclaimed, Southern American artist Nall.

Jean-Claude Novaro (French/Antibes, d. 2014) , "Novaro Perfume Bottle", blown glass bottle

Jean-Claude Novaro was a French artist considered one of the greatest glass makers of the 20th century. Novaro's lamps, bottles, and vases utilized Art Deco-inspired shapes to create swirling, colorful forms.

He pioneered techniques which included adding and layering unique materials directly into molten glass, such as metal oxides, precious stones, and luminescent powders which glow in the dark. In recognition of his ambition with his medium,

Novaro is included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the maker of the largest hand-blown glass work ever created. Born on October 18, 1943 in Antibes, France, he began studying glassmaking at age 14 under Eloi Monod in Biot before founding his own studio there in 1977. The artist died on December 30, 2014 in Monaco at the age of 72.

Alan Davis has been active on the Huntsville art scene since 1980. He has been included in group shows throughout the southeast and has had solo shows at The Huntsville Museum of Art and a variety of commercial and educational venues.

Davis states "I just try to make the pictures come alive. I am inspired by all kinds of things: modern art, folk art, primitive artifacts, kids art, and found images of all kinds. My theory is that if I am delighted or amazed when I am working on the paintings, then maybe someone will be delighted and amazed when they look at them."
