- Lot Description
Tom Hewlett (American, 20th century). A bronze eland with verdigris patina raised on a travertine pedestal, signed and dated 71 on base; oah. 8.25, pedestal ht. 1, lg. 12, wd. 6 in.
Thomas H. Hewlett was born in Philadelphia of British parents in 1898, and died in 1981. He served in the Navy duirng World War I and earned a BA in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania in 1920. He first worked as a designer for Antonio diNardo in Philadelphia before moving to Detroit and establishing himself as a partner in the firm Hewlett & Lukenbach (which he eventually presided), becoming responsible for all of the design. The firm grew to be the sixth largest architectural firm in Michigan, and their best known work was the Ford Auditorium built in 1956. Hewlett also served on the Board of Directors of the Detroit Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. In 1940, he married Freda Pepper, who was the Director of Children's House, a children's art center sponsored by Mrs. Edsel Ford. They had two children. In his spare time, Hewlett was an avid sportsman: a sailor, hot air balloonist, horseback rider, and member of the Bloomfield Open Hunt Club. He retired from the firm in 1973 and developed a strong interest in bronze sculpture, producing mostly small equestrian stautes. He was mentored by his friend Marshall Fredericks, the internationally renowned sculptor, and taught himself other crafts, such as woord turning and furniture making. Some of his silver trimmed wooden bowls were displayed at the Detroit Art Institute.
Property from the Estates of Thomas H., Freda P., and Christie Ann Hewlett, Birmingham, Michigan
