A bronze bear by Sheridan Oman. 6.25 inches tall. $800 TUCSON
Printmaker, painter, and sculptor Sheridan Winslow Oman (1926-1997)
Oman studied art under George Grosz and Kenneth Hayes Miller at the Art Students League in New York City, and for two years he worked at the Bronx Zoo as a staff artist. In the early 1970s he remarried and moved to Tucson, Arizona with his second wife, Pearl, herself a painter.
A gifted printer, painter and sculptor (both clay and bronze) he worked for eleven years as a keeper in the bird section of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and then, at the Bronx Zoo as a staff artist, creating a variety of works in different mediums that featured local wildlife. He also illustrated wildlife guides, including Animal Kitabu (1968, Elek Books, Jean-Pierre Hallet); The Easy Field Guide to Common Desert Mammals of Arizona (1976, Tecolote Press, Dick and Sharon Nelson); and Birds at a Glance (1984, Van Nostrand Reinhold, Blachly, Jenks, Oman).
In 2013 an extensive exhibition of his work, including paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures, was held by the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM) at its Art Institute,with a catalogue of his works titled In Search of Sheridan Oman: The Art of a Desert Recluse. Of his work, the director of the museum, Craig Ivanyi, noted: "...Sheridan Oman's...medium was art, but [his] language was nature. He demonstrated not only a deep understanding of the natural world, but also a longing to present this to others so they could come to know it as he had."
This bear was cast as an unnumbered edition by the foundry Desert Crucible about 1990 when this very reclusive artist began to sign his work “D Winslow” so that “people would stop asking me for works”.
