| dbo:abstract | Herndon Davis (1901 - 7 de novembre de 1962) va ser un artista, periodista, il·lustrador i pintor nord-americà. Va treballar al National War College de Washington DC, creant mapes de la Xina i el Japó. Davis va ser il·lustrador dels diaris de Nova York, Washington DC i Denver. També va rebre l'encàrrec de fer pintures i murals. Es va traslladar a Denver el 1936, on les seves pintures van capturar persones notables i punts de referència de Denver i l'oest. "En alguns casos, Davis proporciona l'única imatge existent de determinades persones i llocs. En centenars de pintures i dibuixos de colors afegeix de manera impressionant a la nostra galeria de retrats", segons James X. Kroll, gerent del Departament d'Història i Genealogia de l'Oest de la Biblioteca Pública de Denver, on s'exposen moltes de les obres de Davis. Els seus temes van des de prostitutes notòries, com Ella "Cattle Kate" Watson, fins al governador Ralph Lawrence Carr. Davis va fer pintures de cases i mansions, com la propietat de William Byers. També va capturar la majestuosa Tabor Grand Opera House i edificis que havien canviat significativament amb el temps. Davis va crear una pintura d'una galeria d'art que abans era un prostíbul i un altre d'un edifici d'apartaments "en mal estat" que ha estat un hotel elegant. Va pintar The Face on the Barroom Floor, representant la seva dona, al pis del bar de Teller House a Central City. (ca) Herndon Davis (1901-1962) was an American artist, journalist, illustrator, and painter. He worked at the National War College in Washington, D.C. creating maps of China and Japan. Davis was an illustrator for New York, Washington, D.C. and Denver newspapers. He was also commissioned to make paintings and murals. He moved to Denver in 1936, where his paintings captured notable people and landmarks of Denver and the west. "In some cases Davis provides the only extant image of certain people and places. In hundreds of colorful paintings and drawings he adds impressively to our portrait gallery," according to James X. Kroll, Manager, Western History and Genealogy Department of the Denver Public Library, where many of Davis works are exhibited. His subjects ranged from notorious prostitutes, like Ella "Cattle Kate" Watson, to Governor Ralph Lawrence Carr. Davis made paintings of houses and mansions, like that owned by William Byers. He also captured the stately Tabor Grand Opera House and buildings that had significantly changed over time. Davis created a painting of an art gallery that used to be a brothel and another of a "shabby" apartment building that has been an elegant hotel. He painted The Face on the Barroom Floor, depicting his wife, on the bar room floor of Teller House in Central City. (en) |
