After high school Nordhausen spent two years at the New York School of Fine Arts before venturing to Europe in 1922. In Europe he found a number of educational opportunities available to him, and for two and a half years he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Munich with Hugo Von Habermann and Hans Hofmann. Upon returning to the United States, Nordhausen persisted with his vocation in the arts through commercial work and teaching, never forgetting his own academic training. Throughout his career, he continually entered competitions at the National Academy of Design, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and won prizes in many juried exhibitions. After he served in the military during World War II, the GI Bill enabled Nordhausen to receive additional artistic training at the New School for Social Research in New York.

He traveled to Italy, Greece and Scandinavia before finding his way to Columbus, Georgia. For Nordhausen, Georgia became an area where he received many portrait commissions.

Joseph
Dawley An Oil on Canvas Portrait of a Bearded old man, Signed UR “Dawley” (Joseph William Dawley ), Size of canvas 16" X 20". This biography from the Archives of AskART: “A graduate of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, Joseph Dawley became well-known in the 1960s and 70s for his realistic character studies and landscapes. In 1975, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, and his style became much looser, more colorful, and impressionistic. The following, submitted March 2005 from the daughter of the artist: Although raised and educated in Texas, Joe Dawley moved to New Jersey in the early 1960's where he remained. He painted in the traditional Old Masters style until 1982, when the symptoms of Parkinson's - diagnosed in 1975 - necessitated brain surgery. One of his accolades during that period was being commissioned to paint the official portrait of Mother Seton for the canonization in 1976. After the surgery and much recovery time, he found he had lost his fine motor skills needed to paint realism as he had. He taught himself impressionism and was very successful at it. He has appeared on all three major networks - ABC, NBC, and CBS - and was featured in "Life" magazine in June 1993. Today, after about 30 years of deterioration from the Parkinson's, Joe Dawley continues to paint in yet another style, much more abstract and definitely from the heart. He may not always be able to speak, remember names, or even walk, but he seems to always be able to paint. Dawley was invited by the White House to paint a painting for use as the official 1994 Christmas Card. Two paintings were created for this purpose and are both currently in the White House. Also in Washington, D.C., Joe's painting "Snowfall in the Park" is the 1995 Christmas Card for Very Special Arts, which is an international educational affiliate of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts." |

Robert Watson Robert Watson (American 1923 - 2004) Oil on canvas 20" x 12" signed and dated LR "R. Watson 70" also titled on stretcher "Moment Of Truth" in original black frame. Biography by Vincent Price “Robert Watson (1923 - 2004) was born in Martinez, California in a big house overlooking the bay, and with him was born the subject of all his paintings - the loneliness of man in the mysterious world. California provided this subject with a stage of vast space on which to grow and evolve. It wasn't until after High School, odd jobs, a sojourn in the Army and study at Universities of California and Wisconsin that Watson's lonely man, mysterious world became concrete through reality of paint on canvas. This occurred between 1943 and 1947 when he went to New York and later spent eight weeks studying with Frederic Taubes in Wisconsin. Watson's career, a highly successful one, began with his first one-man show in 1947 at Gump's and in 1950 in the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, both in San Francisco. |
