WILLIAM PURCELL MCDONALD OIL PAINTING-ROOKWOOD POTTERY ARTIST + FAMILY PHOTOS- $238

I have had in storage for quite some time, a sizeable archive composed of paintings, documents, family photograph albums, sketches, books and other things. I was in the right place at the right time when William Purcell McDonald’s grandson decided to dispose of the archive, which he too had had in storage. 

 

Since we are downsizing, I knew the McDonald’s family archive would have to go, but I’ve been putting it off. Sorting it, I knew would be quite a task.  I guess the good news, from my point of view, is that I had the good sense to have all the small oil paintings and sketches cleaned prior to storing them properly.
I’ve put a brief bio at the end of this listing, but everyone knows of William Purcell McDonald anyway.


 

I started sorting it all out yesterday, and after only a few hours of moving things from one stack to another, then changing my mind and reshuffling again, my dear spouse, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, to whom I’ve been married for somewhere around 140 years, shouted from the doorway, “Enough! Move out of the way.” I moved out of her way as she grabbed this little oil off the top of one of my stacks, flipped through about a hundred photos, and handed me the painting with four photos she’d picked.
“Here,” she said. “Take these in that room you call an office, photograph them and list them on eBay. You can play a little more tomorrow.” With that, she threw a white sheet over all my stacks, pointed at my office door and said, “Now git.”

 

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio McDonald never ventured far from his birth place throughout his career. McDonald trained at the Cincinnati Art Academy under Frank Duveneck (1848 – 1919), a highly accomplished academic painter. McDonald is best known as a painter and sculptor for Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati where he became head of the architectural department in 1904 until his death in 1931. McDonald was also a member of the Cincinnati Art Club.
  Examples of McDonald’s work for Rookwood are held in most major museums throughout the United States, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It was not until the 1980’s that McDonald became recognized as an accomplished painter by the art establishment.
