Mr. Cawdell

View With Hands For Scale

"With over 180 entries from around the world, choosing just one Best in Show, two Merit Awards and five honorable mentions was a daunting task. In working with the Starr Collection of Portrait Miniatures at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, I have always been struck by the level of detail and expression that can be captured in miniature painting, but I was truly impressed to see this collection of entries, and the range of subjects and media they represent. … Above all, Mr. Cawdell encapsulates the best in show of both technical skill and artistic expression. In the tradition of portrait miniatures, this work combines the accuracy of a photographic memento with expressive artistry. The penetrating gaze of the sitter, the fine detailing of the barn wood, crumpled shirt and vibrant blue of the overalls all contribute to a work that not only provides a telling portrait but activates all the senses of the viewer. One can almost sense the heat, smell and sounds of Mr. Cawdell's environment."

In the Permanent Collection of the Woolaroc Museum in Bartlesville, OK

On January 2nd, 1914, A contract was signed between miniaturist A. J. Rowell and collector "Diamond" Jim Brady for a collection of Presidential portrait miniatures. Apparently, Rowell worked on several sets of these portrait miniatures during his lifetime. Only two collections were completed to the present day by subsequent miniaturists. The Siegrists' paintings are in one of these complete collections housed at the Woolaroc Museum. The Woolaroc's founder, Frank Phillips, purchased the museum's collection in 1936 and was sent the original contract between the artist and Mr. Brady by A.J. Rowell.
