Est: $500 - $700
Two bound artist sketchbooks with various sketches and finished works depicting Taos Indian subjects, Taos Chapel, Taos landscapes, European studies and many figural works, most works in charcoal and graphite and some heightened with colored pencil, at least 50 studies per book; together with the artist's Pomona College scrapbook containing many photographs of the artist with friends and family, notes from friends and suitors, fliers and cards from various college events, circa 1916-18, 3 books, est: $500/700. Note: Anna Katharine Skeele's sketchbooks and college scrapbook offer a once in a lifetime opportunity to explore the artist's life and artistic process in detail. Skeele's time at Pomona College in the late teens is presented through interesting and amusing entries in her scrapbook. Photographs of Skeele dressed as a buccaneer for Halloween and many party invitations from both friends and suitors paint a colorful and fun loving life as a college student. The sketchbooks are full of detailed studies and finished scenes, many focused on Taos Indian ceremonies and landscapes. An extended 1949 trip to Europe is also documented beginning with scenes from the ship (including a study of an inebriated passenger asleep on a deck chair) and continuing through Scandinavia and down to Toledo, Spain. At least two Taos scenes in the books are studies for works sold through auction in recent years as well as a number of figure studies relating to 'Child of Taos'.

''Pueblo Life, Taos'', signed lower right: A.K. Skeele, titled on the stretcher, unframed oil on canvas, 42'' H x 38'' W, est: $10,000/15,000. Note: Local Monrovia artist Anna Katharine Skeele spent many summers working and living among the Taos Indians at the Taos Pueblo. The present work is an important example from these extended trips. Skeele focuses on women working, placing the monumental figures directly at the foreground of the scene. One woman assists a young child on a horse while it waters and a second woman bends to fill a clay pot in the same stream. Painted in a stylized modernist style, Skeele keeps detail to a minimum on the ground and in the background hills in order to focus all of the viewer's attention on life in the Pueblo. Skeele moved to California in 1912 and attended Pomona College. Extensive art studies continued after graduation, first at the California School of Fine Arts in 1920 then in Monterey under Armin Hansen, at the Art Students League in New York under Charles Hawthorne, and finally in Paris and Florence. After her travels, Skeele returned to Monrovia where she would remain permanently and was an art teacher at Monrovia High School for many years. Summers spent in Taos enabled Skeele to explore the Native culture that would be the most important subject of her artistic career. The present work, as well as a number of additional works throughout this auction catalogue by Skeele, her husband Frode Dann, and her niece's husband Paul Coze all come out of Coze's estate and as a collection offer an incredible variety of fresh estate pieces featuring many of the most meaningful subjects to each of the three artists.
