- Lot Description
Arthur Singer (1917 - 1990) "Mockingbird and Apple Blossom" Signed lower right. Watercolor on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the 20c Arkansas: Mockingbird and Apple Blossom stamp issued on April 14, 1982.
Mockingbird - Indians, by way of admiration, call the Mockingbird Cencontlatolly, or "four-hundred tongues." A bit more cautious, science named the mocker Mimus polyglottos, "many-tongued mimic." Besides imitating the songs of other birds, this star performer also sings at great length in phrases that are pure Mockingbird. He repeats each theme rapidly up to half a dozen times or more. The distinctive call note is an emphatic tchack or tchair. "Out of the Mockingbird's throat, the musical shuttle," came the song that awakened the poet in Walt Whitman. Indeed, the song of the Mockingbird is a welcome sound to any poet's ear, for this bird has a passion for singing and a beautiful, liquid voice. Apple Blossom - Most of the earliest apple trees in the northern part of Arkansas owed their existence to John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed. From Pennsylvania, where Chapman had sold or given saplings and apple seeds to families migrating westward, he traveled to present day Ohio, sowing apple seeds as he went. Many of his original apple seeds are reported to have been planted in Arkansas. The Apple Blossom is deep pink in the bud stage, and the open flowers are white, faintly streaked with pink. The blossoms are grouped on short twigs that grow along the ends of branches. In most parts of the United States, the month of May is welcomed by everyone as the Apple Blossom month.
