makeitpersonalized store Art Deco Chandelier-Owned by Bob Graham a.imagelink {color:#c0844c;} a:hover.imagelink {color:#c0844c;} a:visited.imagelink {color:#591e0f;} a.imagelink img.auctionimage { border: 2px solid #c0844c; } a:visited.imagelink img.auctionimage { border: 2px solid #591e0f; } This stunning art deco chandelier is originally believed to have hung int the Star Theater in Carrollton, Missouri between 1900 and 1910. Years after the theater closed its doors a young, talented artist by the name of Robert M. Graham, Jr., (aka Bob Graham, 1919-1999), was enchanted by it, bought it, and took it to his studio/home in Kansas City, Missouri. where it was prominently displayed. Bob Graham went on to become an art instructor at the University of Texas in Austin from 1951 to 1955 and from 1958 to 1975, was the Director of the Art Department at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. He established himself in the American Art Community by producing hundreds of paintings, the earlier ones of which were in the “American Regionalist” style similar to his close associate and mentor, Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975). Benton mentored Bob Graham as one of his students at the Kansas City Art Institute. Benton also mentored two other well known American artists, Jackson Pollock and Jackson Lee Nesbitt via the Art Student’s League of New York. Benton is best known for his works at the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri and controversial paintings hanging at Indiana University. Since Bob Graham’s death in 1999 his paintings have been auctioned at nationally known galleries to include Sotheby’s. Several of his much sought after paintings have been sold to such celebrities as the actor Ken Kercheval, who played the character of Cliff Barnes in all 357 episodes of the series “Dallas” during its airing from 1978 to 1991. This is a beautiful chandelier - very rare and in pristine condition. If you are a collector you will appreciate this piece.
