Hard-to-find Vintage Prints Available

Just in time for Christmas, a little piece of history to add to the nostalgia of the season. We have found a small collection of prints from the Kansas Prairie Print Makers group that flourished in the 1930s, along with prints from one of their contemporaries and from one of their forbearers.

The Kansas-based Prairie Print Makers group formed on December 28, 1930, in the Lindsborg, Kansas, studio of Swedish-born Birger Sandzen. Instead of portraying the mythical Midwest, the Prairie Print Makers show us an un-nostalgic view of everyday life.

The group eventually had more than 100 members throughout North America. Many members were professional artists, such as Charles B. Rogers (“Edge of the Field” left top), an instructor at Bethany College in Lindsborg and William Dickerson (“Country Grain Elevator” left second), Director of the Wichita Art Association.
Print Making Background in the US


Print Making Background in the US


In 1910 The Chicago Society of Etchers, (Charles B. Keeler “Ronda, the Impregnable” third left) was the first American printing group to begin issuing editions of prints, and Percival Rosseau (“Partners” bottom), best known for his hunting dong portraiture, lived just a generation before the Prairie Print Makers. In the United States, prints have long been considered to be an ideal art form because of their affordability. So please stop in to see us and all of the available work here in the gallery.
 

"Prints are intimate things and are meant to be handled and examined at close range, as is a rare book, a choice gem or a bit of old lace." --Coy Avon Seward Community Arts and Crafts Monthly - 1929


In addition to the lithographs mentioned above, we have more prints and 2 beautiful oil paintings from Charles B. Rogers.

We invite you to stop in to SouthWind Art Gallery to see the beautiful art available. But for your convienance, you can also see all of these pieces mentioned, online on our website at Prairie Print Makers and More.

Statewide Kansas-150 Art Competition and Call For Entries

SouthWind Gallery is proud to announce the Call for Entries for the Kansas-150 Art Competition.

In 2011, Kansas will celebrate 150 years of statehood. Communities, individuals and state agencies throughout Kansas are planning events to commemorate the 150-year milestone. Through our involvement with Savor Kansas, a new grassroots effort that includes numerous organizations coming together to celebrate and showcase Kansas' arts and culture, SouthWind Gallery has established the Kansas-150 Art Competition. Savor Kansas will take place in Topeka, from June 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011, and will feature events involving visual arts, performing arts and culinary arts.

Kansas-150 Art Competition: Awards & Book Publication

The Kansas-150 Art Competition is a juried competition in which jurors will select 150 works for exhibition and sale by SouthWind Gallery. Three artists will be awarded monetary prizes for their artwork. These awards are:

        1st Place, $1,000
        2nd Place, $750
        3rd Place, $500

In addition, a number of Purchase Awards, funded by corporate and individual patrons, will be given to artists whose works are selected from the 150 entries. SouthWind Gallery will host an awards ceremony and sale of the Top 150 artworks at a Gala in June 2011, and will exhibit the art in its gallery from June 3, 2011-July 15, 2011.

SouthWind Gallery also will publish an art book that showcases all 150 pieces of art, and includes information about each of the artists whose work is selected. This is the second art book published by the gallery. In 2008, SouthWind Gallery, in cooperation with the KU Alumni Association, published “A Spring Day on the Hill: Art Inspired by the University of Kansas, which featured the work of 68 artists. 


The SouthWind Gallery Kansas-150 Art Competition is open to all artists over the age of 18, working in two-dimensional media, who presently reside in, or have previously resided in Kansas, or have ties to the state.

The submitted artwork must draw its inspiration from the state of Kansas. That inspiration may include, but is not limited to depictions of rural landscapes, cityscapes, people, animals, city life, rural life, state landmarks and monuments, state or city parks and recreational areas. Paintings of historical Kansas events and indigenous plant or animal paintings are also acceptable.

We are very excited to also work with two nationally recognized visual art professionals Neil Patterson, OPAM, President, Oil Painters of America; and Kristen Hoerth, Editor in Chief, Southwest Art Magazine who will head the panel of jurors.

We are asking all of our friends to help spread the word for this new and exciting celebration of the arts in Kansas. If you would like more information about entering this competition, please visit our website at www.SouthWindArtGallery.com/callforentries.php

We are certainly looking forward to seeing all of the wonderful art Kansas has to offer.

Big Sky Prairie: Featuring New Paintings by Judith Mackey and Deb Schroer Opens at SouthWind Gallery


SouthWind Gallery, 3074 SW 29th, Topeka, premiers Big Sky Prairie, a two-person exhibit featuring new works by renowned Flint Hills artist Judith Mackey and rising-star Kansas artist Deb Schroer, on Friday, October 1, 2010, in conjunction with Topeka’s First Friday Art Walk. An Artists’ Reception will take place in the evening at SouthWind Gallery from 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. The Big Sky Prairie exhibit runs through November 15, 2010.

In her 40-year career as a professional artist, Judith Mackey has established herself as one of the leading plein air painters in the United States. She is best known for her impressionist oil paintings of the Flints Hills and has devoted much of her life to visually documenting the history and rare beauty of this landscape where she lives and works. Her efforts have culminated in an extraordinary body of work.

Artist Deb Schroer has spent most of her life in Strong City, Kansas--population 584, located in the heart of the Flint Hills. She has put down deep roots in this beautiful and unique land, but also is making a name for herself in the art world as a gifted plein air painter. Her work captures the natural beauty of the Flint Hills landscape, the excitement of the American rodeo, and poignant moments in the everyday lives of people and animals. With her broad understanding of color, she produces an incredibly rich pallet that gives her work immense depth and feeling.

Showing concurrently with the Big Sky Prairie exhibit are bronze works by award winning sculptor Catherine Hale Robins, of Lawrence, Kansas.

Also showing at SouthWind Gallery is an art display of unique floral arrangements by members of the Floral Art Club of Topeka. Seven original floral designs will be exhibited in conjunction with the Big Sky Prairie art exhibit opening. The Floral Art Club of Topeka is a non-professional group dedicated to the study of the art of floral design, and maintains membership in the Kansas Assoc. of Garden Clubs and the National Garden Club. The club’s floral artists have created designs to complement the Big Sky Prairie art exhibit and feature the natural beauty of the Kansas Flint Hills. Floral artists include Trella Anderson, Jayne Cafer, Anita Dreiling, Deesie Jackson, Carolyn Litwin, and Maggie Warren.

Book Signing with Cheryl Unruh Author of "Flyover People"

It's a Book Signing with Cheryl Unruh
Author of
Flyover People: Life on the Ground in a Rectangular State
with special guests, Artists Stan Herd and Louis Copt

Wednesday, September 15, 2010
3:00 p.m - 6:00 p.m.

Kansas author Cheryl Unruh, a writer for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Emporia Gazette, will be at SouthWind Gallery on Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010 from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. to sign copies of her newly-published book, Flyover People: Life on the Ground in a Rectangular State.

Joining Cheryl for the book signing are Stan Herd and Louis Copt, well-known Kansas artists who are the subjects of one of her essays included in the book.

Excerpt from Flyover People: Life on the Ground in a Rectangular State (Hangin' with Louis and Stan, p. 35) "These are not just any two guys throwing paint on the building at Sixth and Merchant, but two of the finest artists Kansas has produced...They had been working on the mural off and on for several weeks when I met them. I spent an hour or so hanging out with these painters as they shaped and shaded the underbelly of storm clouds on their Flint Hills scene."

Cheryl began writing her weekly Flyover People column for the Emporia Gazette in 2003. Eighty of her Flyover People columns are included in the 197-page, softcover book. Cheryl's writing has received awards from the Kansas Press Association, the Kansas Association of Broadcasters and the Kansas Sampler Foundation. Her commentaries have aired on Kansas Public Radio in Lawrence and KTWU public television in Topeka.

If you are a Kansan, you will love this book, and if you have only flown over this state on your way to someplace else, you will love this book. Cheryl's writing style is lyrical, entertaining and true to the soul of Kansas and its people. You won't want to put the book down until you've read each and every beautifully written story!

Please us join at SouthWind Gallery to meet and greet Cheryl Unruh. Copies of her book will be available for purchase or you can buy them online on our website.

Zak Barnes - Featured in "The New Impressionsts"

Born and raised in Kansas, Zak Barnes feels a deep connection to the prairie landscape and to the people of the land. This sentiment is the base and anchor of his work and sets the emotional tone for any narrative that plays itself out in his paintings. Influenced by his surroundings, life experience and self-interpretation whether working in the studio or en plein aire he finds the rhythm of life that is reflected in his work.

In the studio, Zak creates dreamlike narratives that are drawn from memory and the landscape becomes a backdrop for human interaction. Folk art, surrealism and contemporary composition create ambiguity in both period and environment. Natural and man made elements are placed in concert, creating the freedom of a magical story for the viewer to imagine. To Zak it is the movement and emotional space created that is important.

Debra Clemente - Featured in "The New Impressionists"

Debra Clemente earned a B.F.A. in Visual Communications at University of Kansas. After graduation she worked as a graphics designer and illustrator. Later Clemente returned to oil painting, but she traded her paintbrushes for a pallet knife. She uses bold colors and boldly applies layers of paint to her canvas. With her style of painting, Clemente is able to achieve a new reality for her subject matter—whether it’s a field of flowers or a rolling landscape. Her paintings are full of high energy and vibrant colors.

Debra’s work has found homes in private and corporate collections across the country. She is especially honored to have one of her sunflower field paintings, “Sunshine Grows in Kansas”, hanging in the Kansas Capitol building above the Governor’s private desk as part of the Kansas Governor’s office permanent art collection.
