DUNBAR CONSOLE TABLE BY EDWARD WORMLEY American, ca 1940-1950. A console table designed by Edward Wormley (American 1907-1997) for Dunbar, of pine with a frieze of carved rinceau on three sides of the top which is supported by a carved scallop shell resting on rectangular plinth with slopping sides; ht. 29.5, wd. 32.25, dp. 11.75 in. Edward Wormley, born in Illinois in 1907, attended the Art Institute of Chicago where he learned cabinetmaking. Without graduating because of finances, Wormley was hired at Marshall Field & Co, Chicago, and later, Berkey & Gay Furniture Manufacturers, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Wormley traveled to Paris, France, met designer Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann, who he said changed his vision of furniture design. In the 1930s, Dunbar Furniture Corporation, Berne, Indiana, hired Wormley to "breathe new life in the company?s lower end furniture". Wormley combined historic designs with modern comfort and merged ideas from European furniture designers such as Jean-Michel Frank of France and Richard Riemerschmid of Germany. At Wormley?s urging, Dunbar agreed to manufacture modern reproductions of these designers? historical pieces. Those pieces borrowed from the past to move forward, and were made comfortable by his understanding of what Americans valued in their furniture. Though he began at Dunbar restyling a furniture line that people bought with soap coupons, Wormley created inexpensive high style lines and was one of the most successful furniture designers in America, and a major influence on American modern design.

Will Howe Foote, Connecticut, New York, Florida, Michigan / France, (1874 - 1965) West Indian, oil on panel signed lower right. Biography from the Archives of askART: Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Will Howe Foote was an Impressionist* painter whose style was much influenced by the atmospherics of Tonalism* and then Impressionism of the Old Lyme, Connecticut painters with whom he associated. He was one of that Colony's earliest artists, first arriving to paint in the summer of 1901, and, dying in 1965, he was the last surviving member of the original Colony members. However, much of his painting subject matter came from other locations, as he was not very fond of the dominance of the color green in the Old Lyme environs. He was the nephew of artist William Henry Howe, and in 1901 accompanied this uncle to Old Lyme whose beauties had been touted to the young Foote by Clark Voorhees, whom he had met in France. Both Will Howe Foote and his uncle were raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan where his father held an executive position in a prominent furniture company. The father encouraged his son's obvious art talent, and in 1894, young Foote began his art study at the Art Institute of Chicago*. There he became close friends with Frederick Frieseke, with whom he also attended the Art Students League in New York City. In 1897, they went to Paris, and he attended the Julian Academy* under Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. He exhibited twice at the Paris Salon*, and in 1900 returned to the United States and exhibited frequently at the National Academy of Design.* Foote's primary residence became Old Lyme, Connecticut. In 1902, he became Frank DuMond's assistant at the Old Lyme Summer School, sponsored by the Art Students League of New York, and in 1903, he first went as a visitor to Cos Cob, Connecticut. In 1907, he married Helen Kirtland Freeman, a painter at the Old Lyme, and on Sill Lane, they built a house, which was completed in 1909. He and his wife traveled frequently, and in the winters, seeking warmer climates, he painted in Bermuda, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Southwest. One existing work from that period is Late Afternoon, Arizona, dated 1927. In the 1920s, the sale of his work fell off considerably, but Foote was able to survive financially because he had family money. He did not accept invitations for exhibiting his works, feeling it was not worth the effort and expense to do the shipping. After 1933, his only exhibition venue was the Lyme Art Association*, and he destroyed much of his artwork except that which he judged to be the best.
