Noel Sickles
African Tribal Celebration: Alex Haley Roots for Readers Digest

circa 1970s

About the Item

Complex and detailed epic scale history painting of an African tribal celebration with an on looking king. The work has an abundant amount of detail from the style and character of the people to the magnificent umbrellas each with its own beautiful abstract artwork and animals atop each one. The work is masterfully composed with over a hundred figural studies all in traditional African costumes. This is a celebration and not a depiction of everyday life. Done on assignment for Readers Digest. Matted but not framed. ( a frame is available but it's not an attractive frame).

  • American Portrait of the Artist's Wife by Herman Hyneman
    By Herman Hyneman
    Located in Larchmont, NY
    Herman Hyneman (1849-1907) Portrait of the Artist's Wife, c. late 19th century Oil on canvas 21 1/2 x 29 1/2 in. Framed: 27 1/2 x 35 1/4 in. The following is from Peter Jung who credits "a friend named Jeff Gold on Long Island." Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) was born in 1849 to one of the most prominent Jewish families in Philadelphia. Unlike most Jewish families of the time, his embraced and encouraged his artistic talent. In 1874, Hyneman followed his first cousin Moses Ezekiel, National Academy member, to Europe to study. They first went to Germany and then to France where Hyneman began eight years of study with Leon Bonnat, the French Master. In Paris, the twenty-five year old Hyneman resided in a studio building at 75 Boulevard Clichy, with expatriates Frederic Arthur Bridgeman, Charles Sprague Pearce, Milne Ramsey, and Edwin Blashfield. Hyneman was clearly exposed to the works of these more experienced artists, as well as that of Walter Gay. In 1879, one of Hyneman's genre paintings, entitled "Desdemona", was accepted into the Paris Salon. That painting received favorable reviews both in Europe, and later in Philadlephia where it was exhibited alongside the works of other Philadelphia Artists exhibiting at the Salon that included Thomas Eakins, Pearce, Edward May...
