WESTON, EDWARD (1886-1958)/MATHER, MARGRETHE (1885-1952)
"The Marion Morgan Dancers." Platinum-palladium print, 6 3/4x9 1/2 inches (17.1x24.1 cm.), with the title and signatures of the photographers, in pencil, on mount recto. Circa 1921
In 1915, dancer Marion Morgan established her own ballet troupe, which featured six young women who had studied with her in California. The dancers were known for performing Isadora Duncan-style, in togas and bare feet.
This artfully rendered composition, highlighting the elegant lines of the dancers'' bodies, reflects the perfect marriage between Weston''s early Pictoralist style and Mather''s sensitive eye. Weston referred to Mather as "the first important person in my life."
Weston''s well thought-out studies of nudes, shells, household items, and vegetables reveal him to be a photographer devoted to detail and distinctly in touch with the world around him. Here, the nude figures are like a still-life, positioned to create a perfect scene, but still clearly possessing that sense of humanity found throughout Weston''s imagery. The photographs produced at the outset of Weston''s career demonstrate an eye for formal composition as well as an ability to make visible the essential grace and beauty of objects before his lens.
Beth Gates Warren, author of the landmark publication, "Margrethe Mather & Edward Weston: A Passionate Collaboration," writes that in 1921, Weston and Mather co-produced approximately 12 images. The mounts were signed by them both. Interestingly, this was the only time in Weston''s career that he co-signed prints with another photographer.
With regard to this object, however, Warren believes that by this year, given the intimacy of Weston and Mather''s relationship, the couple were so professionally in sync they either adopted a similar writing style or the artists agreed to have the artwork signed by a single hand.

18th C. Neoclassical Shell Carving: Northern Europe, Neoclassical period, ca. 18th to early 19th century CE. A stunning, intricately carved shell of a creamy white hue depicting a classical relief of 2 hooded women and 2 nude men. Boasting a classically idealized body and curly tufts of hair, a disinterested male figure leans back in the foreground, bending his left elbow to balance his head in his hand and face away from the hooded woman who kneels at his sandaled foot. His other arm lazily falls towards his lap, with the genuflecting woman holding his right hand to her weeping face, perhaps to kiss it, as she holds her other palm open just below his bent leg. Behind them, the other classically idealized nude male and hooded woman stand and chat; the man's cloak falls behind him as he faces right and bends his right elbow to place his hand up to his mouth with his index finger on his face, as if thinking or whispering, while the veiled woman faces him and stands in the same pose, appearing pensive and concerned. The pose of the seated male, as well as the bow and arrow strap that crosses his chest, indicate that he may be Apollo. Size of shell: 1. 5" W x 1. 875" H (3. 8 cm x 4. 8 cm);Size of box: 1. 4" W x 1. 875" H (3. 6 cm x 4. 8 cm). .

Very Fine Jamacoaque Pottery Seated Shaman w/ Bowl: Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Jamacoaque culture (also Jama Coaque), ca. 500 CE. A masterfully hand-built, skillfully modeled, and beautifully painted shaman figure who sits upon a stool or drum and holds a mortar and pestle. Note that the shaman is highly decorated; while his body is nude save a loincloth, he dons a headdress adorned with a prominent ornament - perhaps a shell or horn, large earspools, a crescent-shaped nose ornament, a 'beaded' necklace, as well as matching 'beaded' bracelets (one on each wrist), leglets, and anklets. Also note that considerable remains of original blue-green pigment applied to his jewelry after firing have survived the tests of time. These were probably intended to represent coveted jade, turquoise, or even emerald. Size: 6. 875" H (17. 5 cm). . Dress and ornament were identifiers of clans and ethnic groups as well as markers of rank among many ancient American peoples. Information encoded in elements of clothing and jewelry would have been understood by the members of those groups. This gentleman was most certainly an important individual given his elaborately decorated state. .
