- DENHAM CLEMENTS PAINTING "OLD CROW"
DENHAM CLEMENTS PAINTING "OLD CROW" (1998)Denham Clements (b. 1944, American). "Old Crow" acrylic on canvas, 1998. Signed on the lower right. A remarkable, large-scale painting of "Old Crow" by Denham Clements, painstakingly delineated in the artist's impressive photorealist manner. The subject gazes out from the canvas with piercing blue eyes that are graced by flecks of sunlight, as a myriad of wrinkles on his venerable face read like topographical hills and valleys. Feathers crown Old Crow's fanciful silver coiffure which is particularly striking with its central swoop of bangs leading to the series of folds and creases across the bridge of his nose. Finally, marvelous beadwork comprised of multicolored glass, turquoise, wood, and metal adorns his visage. Clements has masterfully captured an incredible range of textures and hues in this portrait, truly bringing Old Crow to life on his canvas. According to Denham Clements, "Like all the faces from the Native Americana series, the image 'Old Crow' began on a solid black canvas, the eyes, nose, mouth, and the subject's expression gradually taking shape as a result of dry-brushing gradations of white onto the black. Skin tones were laid in bit by bit with thin layers of watered-down acrylic pigment until the desired hue became apparent. Hair, feathers and beadwork we carefully painted in to complete the composition as it took shape on the neutral, air-brushed background." A breathtaking homage to this "viejo" on a grand scale by Denham Clements. Size: 45" L x 35" W (114.3 cm x 88.9 cm)
Denham Clements is best known for his photorealistic paintings of the indigenous peoples of the American Southwest. Clements spent over 10 years in Taos, New Mexico where he created a series of portraits of the "viejos" (the old ones) and later relocated to Albuquerque. Clements' artwork has been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis; the Albuquerque Museum; US Ambassador's Residence, Lima, Peru; the Tucson Museum of Art; the National Museum of the Marine Corps; as well as collections throughout the US and abroad. In his words, "These good people, the old cowpoke, the Pueblo Indian, the local Hispanic icon, the wily backwoodsman, were nonetheless just ordinary people; but when rendered with such unflinching realism, their personalities, their life’s experiences seemed stamped on each face as if time had stopped for an instant, frozen. Their personal histories became subtly transparent and prompted a dialogue with the viewer, an uncharacteristic trait known to classic photorealism." Clements has honored his subjects in both black and white as well as color palettes - primarily on a large scale as we see in this example.
