Sun Catchers: Art or Kitsch?

My newest acquisition is this lovely sun catcher. I picked it up at The Trove in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Serendipity led me to its discovery as I almost overlooked it. While checking out of the store, I finally looked up and there it was, hanging in the window. I was told it was made by a late, local artisan. If you recognize the work, please let me know who made it.

The Owl and the Pussycat I had never been attracted to sun catchers until my sister sent this one to my young children back in the 1980s. We spent many a morning reciting the beginning of Edward Lear's poem (The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat...) I had thought of sun catchers as Disney memorabilia or holiday decor, a stained glass Santa Claus or a Thanksgiving Turkey.

The above was made by Glassmasters based in Macomb Township, Michigan and is dated 1980.

I should have known better. I was schooled in stained glass by my tenth grade history teacher when we studied art from the middle ages. But I saw those beautiful windows as art and sun catchers as kitsch.

And then, when I was getting married in 1975, my dear friend and boss Fred R. Siegle (The Profile Press) and his wife Else offered me a choice of a wedding gift between two objects. One was a piece of stone carving from a lintel or doorway and the other was the roundel above. I took the roundel. I was surprised when I visited The Cloisters to see similar roundels displayed in the windows.

New York Cloisters 33 010 Glass Gallery - Roundel Window, Turkish Soldier and Wild Man, Justice, Descent of the Damned

And finally, my garden ornament that hangs in my bedroom window.

None of these are offered for sale in my shop but I am looking for more and will add them to my inventory when and if I find more.

Profile Press Ephemera

In a previous post, I mentioned my former boss and friend Fred R. Siegle. He and his wife Else are pictured above. Fred ran a print shop called Profile Press. It was on 25th Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan, in a building that housed printers and binderies and type houses. The upper 20s was filled with the printing industry and then a bit farther north began the garment district.

Profile Press was my first real job out of college in 1972. I did have a short run with another designer, doing paste-ups of really schlocky packaging where the environment was toxic, and my co-worker was sexually harassing and blackmailing the boss. Getting the job with Fred was a life-saver.

In reality, Fred was a printing broker and a designer. His clients included many of the finest art galleries—Betty Parsons, OK Harris, Marlborough, and more.— along with small publishers and a variety of interesting people in the arts.

Each year, Fred self-published a charming keepsake book for his clients and delivered them during the holidays. Fred learned design during the 20's and 30's and his style reflected that.

I have been buying them whenever I see them available on used bookstore sites. Here are some examples, some which are available on Amazon or Oak Knoll Books.
