Pipe Paintings?
troy heuvelmans
for two paintings for my library. I would love to have prints that show
pipe smoking. If anyone knows of any prints like these would you please
relay the title and artist? Again I thank you in advance for any help
you may provide.

I have a small print of nine pipes arranged in a square with elegant
handwriting under each pipe describing it. The matting has that red leather
look, and it has a dark wood frame. I picked it up at the Home Depot in
Atlanta of all places.

If you go to the Iwan Ries web site(http://www.iwanries.com/) and go to
the Ser Jacopo pipe section, they have all the Picta Series with the Van
Gogh paintings (and titles)that inspired them. At least it's a start.
I'll check my "collection" and see if any of the "Dogs Playing Poker"
are pipesmokers and let you know. ;)

In the copy I have, three of the seven figures have pipes (a prince,
kibbitzing; a banded (Kildare?) billiard, playing; a Peterson(?) bent
kibbitzing). The "caller" does not show anything; the "called" has a
cigarette on the edge of the table (four aces?). Another on-looker has a
cigar. An artist is not mentioned -- "The Picture Library", San Francisco
is credited. (Artist's mark shows -- perhaps C M Coolidge -- stylized, on
old German lettering.)

Great suggestions on Van Gogh, Magritte, and Rockwell, guys.
Here is another "must":
William Michael Harnett, 1848-1892, was a still-life painter of
the "trompe l'oeil" style. His favourite subjects were still-life
assemblages of "men's bric-a-brac" -- hunting and fishing items,
and PIPES!
Trust me, Harnett's works are among the most beautiful pipe-
related art you will find. Go to the library, and find this book
(no, the author's name isn't a joke):
Frankenstein, Alfred Victor, 1969.
After the Hunt: William Harnett and other American still life
painters, 1870-1900. Berkeley: University of California Press.
I don't know about finding lithographs of Harnett's work -- it
would definitely be worth speaking with an art dealer, or the
director of a nearby art institute. I do have a short biography
on Harnett, which I can either post or e-mail to those who are
interested. (I only wish I had a scanner to post some an examples
of his work)!
Enjoy!

The obvious is Van Gogh and Rockwell. Also try Dali, he painted alot of
pipes in his early paintings of his father. Also try to obtain lithographs of
the wood cuts from Strand Magazine of the Holmes stories. Or if all else
fails, scan and blow up Steve Smith's sig.!

-A portrait of the pipe smoker as a young man-
"taking up a glowing cinder with the tongs and lighting with it the
long cherry-wood pipe which was wont to replace his clay when he was
in a disputatious rather than a meditative mood" -- Dr. John H. Watson

I think if he did use it, you could interpret it as getting it royally.

Coolidge, best known for his paintings of dogs playing poker. You'll notice
many a pooch puffing away at the card table.
Coolidge is not to be confused with Arthur Sarnoff, who did his own series of
dogs playing various gentlemens' games sometime around the 50's... but some of
his dogs are also smoking pipes.
