EDITORS COMMENTS
Decorative Turkeys" is an exquisite painting by Heywood Sumner (1853-1940), a renowned painter, illustrator, and craftsman who was an integral part of the Arts and Crafts movement. This work of art, dated 1889, showcases a charming scene of turkeys in their natural habitat, surrounded by the beauty of nature. To the left of the painting, a cunning fox lurks in the shadows, its eyes fixed intently on the unsuspecting turkeys. The fox's sleek form and alert posture convey a sense of stealth and determination, as it plans to pounce on its unsuspecting prey. On the right side of the painting, a man can be seen sharpening a knife, perhaps preparing for a hunt or ensuring that his tools are ready for the upcoming season. The man's focused expression and the intricate details of the knife suggest a deep connection to the land and a respect for the natural world. Sumner's use of Art Nouveau style is evident in the flowing lines and organic forms of the turkeys and the fox. The rich colors and textures of the painting bring the scene to life, transporting viewers to a simpler time when the connection between humans and nature was more profound. This decorative work of art is a testament to Sumner's skill as a painter and his dedication to the Arts and Crafts movement. It invites us to appreciate the beauty of nature and the intricacies of the natural world, while also reminding us of the delicate balance between predator and prey. Heywood Sumner's "Decorative Turkeys" is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate details, rich colors, and thoughtful composition. This painting is a must-have for any art lover or collector, and a beautiful addition to any home or office decor.
