Don V (Donald) Crowley Indian Pencil Drawing
Est: $2,500 - $3,500
Title is Carmen M. 22" by 26" unframed, 23 3/8" by 27 3/8" framed. Provenance: Exhibited at the Tucson Museum of Art Rica and Harvey Spivack Collection Don V. (Donald) Crowley (1926 - 2019) was active/lived in Arizona, New York, California. Don Crowley is known for Historical-Indian genre and animal painting, illustration. Known for his realistic depiction of Indian figures, Donald Crowley was born in Redlands and raised in Santa Ana, California from the time he was ten years old. He showed art talent from childhood. Of his personal feelings about art expression, he said: "Art is like sex. It's something that you do; not something that you talk about." As a young man, he was a close friend and painting companion with Mervin Corning, who became an accomplished watercolorist. Crowley was heavily influenced towards subjects and technique by Frederic Remington's book, Done in the Open, and also by a book of English painters, titled World Famous Paintings, edited by Rockwell Kent. He spent four years in the U.S. Navy and Merchant Marines, and then used the G.I. Bill to finance his way through the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. Of this educational opportunity, he said that the GI Bill "was the greatest thing the government ever did." He married Betty Jayne, a fellow art student, and the couple headed East where he spent twenty-one years in New York as a commercial illustrator with the Charles E. Cooper Studio. He was prolific, and his illustrations from that era appeared in many publications including Reader's Digest, Dorothy Sayers' mysteries, and children's books. Looking back, he described that period of his life as being among "unbearably pretentious" people, and living a life of "tinsel". He said that in those days opportunities for gallery representation for artists was minimal, but having observed his friend James Bama have a successful one-man show in Wyoming, and tired of commercial art, he and his family moved West in the late 1960s. In 1974, they moved to Tucson where Sam Wisnom, former schoolmate, had arranged for Crowley to show his work. Crowley found Arizona a happy contrast to his east-coast existence. Spending time on reservations with members of the Paiute and Apache tribes, he began his ongoing focus of painting Indian figures and portraits. Moving from commercial to fine art had a loosening effect on his style, and his work got more colorful. He met the Martineaus, a Paiute family on the San Carlos Reservation, and for years has used them regularly as models. He is fascinated by the inner dignity the Indians have when they are dressed in their finery. As a special thank you to these new friends, he gave the San Carlos Apaches the proceeds of 40 artist proofs of his 1981 Greenwich Workshop lithographs. In 1994, Don Crowley was elected to membership in the Cowboy Artists of America*, and he won numerous awards exhibiting with that organization including Artist's Choice, 1999; and Oil Painting, 1996, 1999 and 2006. In 1998, he was named Artist of the Year by the Friends of Western Art, an affiliate group of the Phoenix Art Museum.

DON CROWLEY "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST" LTD. ED. PRINT
Est: -
Don Crowley "Beauty And The Beast" Limited Edition Print. Signed and numbered 424/1500 by the artist in the lower margins. Comes in original portfolio. Born in Redlands, California, Don Crowley got started in the world of art at such an early age that he couldn’t remember a time when he wasn’t drawing. During his school years in Santa Ana, he read everything he could about art and spent every spare moment developing his skill. Service in the Merchant Marines and the Navy enabled Crowley to enroll in the Art Center School of Design in Los Angeles under the G.I. Bill. Five years later, he moved to New York and began a successful career in commercial illustration. After more than twenty years in the Northeast, Crowley felt restricted by the narrow range of his commercial work and began to work more extensively in fine art. In 1973, he accepted an invitation to exhibit his paintings at a gallery in Arizona. He was so taken by the area that he decided to continue his career there. With his family, Crowley settled in the Southwest, where he began forging a relationship with a group of Native Americans. Although he is recognized and respected for many different kinds of paintings, he is best known for his sensitive and skilled portraits of these Apache and Paiute women and children. Crowley visits the San Carlos Reservation annually to continue chronicling the lives of his subjects. “I hope that my work expresses the beauty and dignity of these very special people,” he says. Through Crowley’s work, his collectors have watched his subjects grow over the years. Occasionally you’ll see a rare Don Crowley image of a cowboy or a cattle drive, but what he is best known for are handsome, clear portraits of Native American women and children, not to mention their colorful Pendleton blankets. In fact, long-time collectors of his work may see the same subject as both a girl and woman, wearing the colorful, geometric-patterned blanket that was handed down from generation to generation. In 1995, he was elected to the Cowboy Artists of America and, in his first year, won the CA Gold Medal for Drawing. The following year he was awarded four awards: a Gold Medal for Oil, Silver Medal for Drawing, the CA Award and the Kieckhefer Best in Show Award. With customary dry humor, Crowley termed this accomplishment very encouraging.
