Original Art, Prints and Posters

Currently in our Fairfield Store we have 2 permanent collections - that of John Schlecter Duvall, the Indonesian visionary painter who lived and taught in Ottumwa, our nearest city, and the work of Becca Ferry who owned Crest Jewel for many years and is now traveling the world doing her Art. For March and April we are featuring Boston native, David Kupferman, who moved to Fairfield and set up his studio here three years ago.

The essence of Shiva. Crest Jewel's own Becca Ferry is getting known for her "essence paintings". Each is a transmission painted in silence in a setting inspiring her to come close to the true nature of the subject she is portraying.  Click here to see more examples of her creations. Giclee prints unframed.
 

Indian Paintings on Rupee notes $175.00
These magnificent miniature paintings exemplify the skilled work of a master craftsman who uses rare, antique India currency as his canvases. These banknotes from the 1800's are collectible in their own right. Each painting is an original, and there are more of each design from which to choose. All pieces are available unframed. The banknote size is 8 1/2" by 13 1/2".

art/Vishnu_poster Early 20th Century Posters from India
We have a small collection of posters from India printed in the early 1900's. We have an assortment. No two are alike. Call the store for details. Each framed in the original frame from India. Prices vary.
 

art/CrestJewelPoster Crest Jewel Poster
The original poster was commissioned by Crest Jewel's owners in the early 1980's. Painted in the style of Maxfield Parish the merchant offering his wares bore a distinct resemblance to one of the owners at the time. Though the original is owned by a previous member of the Crest Jewel Family and still resides in Fairfield, we are offering the posters that were made from the painting.
 

Last year we collected many pieces with a "flavor of India". We decided to continue with the deity paintings on rupee notes. We wonder if our economy would improve with divine miniature paintings on our paper money. Our collection of old Indian posters from the beginning of the 20th century offered in their original frames with fresh backing paper is still here with us. We will put them on display this year and consider parting with some after this year's show. We are having difficulty finding more.
