- Lot Description
Three Dimension Company - A Division of Bell & Howell Comp. Chicago - made in Germany - ca. 1954 to 1960s. A Three Dimension Company (TDC) Stereo Colorist camera with an attractive leather case/cover. TDC was a Chicago based company, but this camera was made by Bodensee Kamerawerke in Uberlngen, Germany for the TDC company. It uses two lenses to capture an image at the same time - recreating the natural separation between human eyes, to take 3D images on film. Most exciting is that this particular camera is from the William Draper collection. Size: case measures 8" W x 4" H (20.3 cm x 10.2 cm)
American artist William Draper's (1912-2003) career spanned seven decades. Draper was a combat artist who served in the US Navy during World War II, a revered portrait painter whose subjects included President John F. Kennedy (Draper was actually the only artist who painted JFK from life), as well as a gifted landscape artist who studied under Henry Hensche in Provincetown. Draper showed at Knoedler, the Graham Gallery, Portraits, Inc., the Far Gallery, The Findlay Galleries (New York, NY) and the Robert C. Vose Galleries (Boston, MA). His work has been included in shows at the National Portrait Gallery and the Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), The National Academy of Design (New York, NY), The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, (Boston, MA) the Fogg Art Museum, (one of the Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA), the National Gallery, (London), Salon de la Marine (Paris) and in museums in Australia. He also taught at the Art Students League of New York, and received a lifetime achievement award from the Portrait Society of America in 1999.
Provenance: The William F. Draper Collection, New York City, USA, acquired via descent from the late William Franklin Draper (1912-2003), an accomplished American artist whose career spanned seven decades. Known as the "Dean of American Portraiture," William Draper was the only artist to paint President John F. Kennedy from life, and his oeuvre includes marvelous landscapes from his world travels, military paintings as he was one of only seventeen Combat Artists in WWII, and portraits of illustrious individuals.
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
