Description: For sale is a collectible piece of Americana, an original Chromolithograph entitled “The Scout”, Pencil Signed by renowned Artist Cyrus Edwin Dallin. Dallin is regarded as one of the most important sculptors in American Art History. This vivid Chromolithograph was produced by Reinthal & Newman, New York, (American Publishers, 1906-1928). Some of their most famous artists included Maxfield Parrish, Howard Chandler Christy, Harrison Fisher, Jesse Wilcox Smith and Phillip Boileau to name a few. Reinthal & Newman utilized a lithographic technology so accurate that Maxfield Parrish entrusted his paintings to be reproduced to match the rich colors and tones in his pieces. Although one can find relatively inexpensive Dallin prints for sale, it is rare to find a piece that is actually signed by the Artist such as this one. Purchased at an Art Estate Sale, this gorgeous Cyrus Edwin Dallin piece is in lovely Antique condition with the expected wear for its age including a small tear in the paper at the top center of the yellow background just above the indian's head. We have not removed the piece from the frame to examine it further, but it appears to be, otherwise, intact and to have maintained its vibrant colors over the years as had been framed to protect it from the elements. At the time of purchase, we were advised that the piece dates back to around 1920 (making it 100 years old), and had, at some point in time, been custom matted and framed using only acid free products. The piece measures 15" by 18" tall, including the frame. Please examine all photos prior to purchase. The piece will be professionally packed and shipped. About this piece: “The Scout” This fantastic piece is a signed lithograph depiction of an Indian Scout which was also a famous statue of the same name (The Scout) by Dallin in Kansas City, Missouri. The Statue, which stands more than 10 feet tall, and depicts a Sioux Indian on horseback surveying the landscape was conceived by Dallin in 1910, and exhibited at the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, where it won a gold medal. The statue was dedicated in 1922 as a permanent memorial to local Indian tribes and is currently situated east in Penn Valley Park, south of downtown Kansas City. A one-third-size bronze version is in Seville, Spain; a 1992 gift from Seville's sister-city, Kansas City, Missouri. Smaller highly collectible Cast Bronzes replica’s of Dallin’s larger statues continue to be sold in Art Galleries and Auction Houses commanding sums of $5,000 to $12,000. About the Artist: Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) Cyrus Edwin Dallin (see attached photo) was born on November 22, 1861 in Springville, Utah. His sculpting and artistic talent was recognized at an early age, and he was sent to Boston at 19 to study with T.H. Bartlett. Today he is regarded as one of the most important sculptors in American art. Dallin found the road to success rocky, but his perseverance and dedication are revealed in his efforts to complete whatever he started. A telling testament to Dallin’s tenacity is his 58-year trial to get an equestrian statue of Paul Revere funded and fabricated. After seven versions, Dallin’s statue was erected in 1940 in Boston’s historic North End. In 1891, Dallin married the writer, Vittoria Colonna Murray. The couple raised three sons. During this time, Dallin actively pursued commissions, exhibited, and won many prizes. Stable income to support his family came from teaching appointments, chiefly at the Massachusetts Normal Art School (Massachusetts College of Art and Design), from 1900-1941. Dallin gained the respect of other famous artists of his day, including Augustus St. Gaudens and John Singer Sargent, who became a close friend. (Sargent’s sketch of Dallin’s Portico is a treasured item in the Museum’s collection.) Dallin’s art was reproduced and collected on a broad scale. Among his most beloved works are his monuments of Native Americans, which changed the face of public art in America. In 1900, at the age of 39, Dallin moved to Arlington, Massachusetts, where he lived and worked for the rest of his life. As a result, Arlington is now the home for many of his works. Dallin died at his own home on November 14, 1944, a week shy of his 83rd birthday. Dallin is an icon of American Art with a museum devoted to his works, the Jefferson Cutter in Arlington, Massachusetts, and a local elementary school is named in his honor. In addition, more than 30 examples of his work are on display at the Springville Museum of Art in his birthplace of Springville, Utah and his papers are housed at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, and The Dallin House at 253 S. 300 East in Springville, Utah is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its association with Dallin.(Adapted from the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum)
