- Lot Description
This is an outstanding, large, award winning, original oil on stretched canvas painting by Robert Lee Dickens (1931-2022). In 1982, the painting received the Grumbacher Award with newspaper documentation, and it was previously listed in The Art Institute of Chicago. This painting includes the original Grumbacher Art Award that was awarded for this painting at the Wind River Valley Artist's Guild, 34th National Art Exhibition. As well as a framed newspaper article with a full page write up on Dickens with the main photo being of him and this painting. The painting is of Robert Dickens's wife wearing an articulated crane hat from Kwakwaka'wakw artist, Don Lelooska. The crane hat is crafted of cedar and shows a polychrome coloration of red, black, and blue in traditional Kwakwaka'wakw geometric patterns to the wings and face of the crane. The head of the crane moves from sided to side with a string that is strung through the neck and the wings and the mouth opens and closes with a string that runs through the bottom of the hat. Robert's wife looks over her shoulder towards the viewer with a stoic look on her face. She is pulling on a sting from the hat, opening the mouth of the bird. She is also wearing a large fur scarf around her neck with colors of brown and rust orange. The bottom of the painting reads, "Mamook Hehe Kalakaka TumTum Klootchman" in orange paint. In the bottom right hand corner of the painting is the artist's signature reading, "Dickens '82". In the bottom middle slipped between the painting and the frame is a gold colored plaque reading, "Laughing Bird Spirit Lady". The award plaque reads, "The Grumbacher Art Award / Wind River Valley Artists' Guild 34th National Art Exhibition 1982 / Presented to Robert Dickens" on the silver colored plate. The award sits in gorgeous hardwood case against a blue felt background. The newspaper article is framed and tells about Robert Dickens' life and his heritage, featuring photos of him, his artwork and a photo he took. The artwork and frame show good condition with some slight wear to the frame from use over the years, but no signs of obvious damage are noted. The back of the painting has the original exhibition tag still attached on the back which is marked, “Eightyith Exhibition by Artists of Chicago and Vicinity.
