I don’t see a lot of (art) posted on Mantel yet… But I’ll keep trying! Without getting too political, I feel like this is a great representation of where we are as a society. This beautiful, but simple, origami dove with his tail on fire is so simple yet symbolic. I love how the artist (Opie) used live flame, a technique called fumage, to better capture the smoke rising from the tail of this dove.

Amazing original art (not a print or copy) by noted automotive artist Jay Koka showing a Bugatti car

Amazing original vintage art piece by noted illustrator Arthur E Sudler

Arthur Emory Sudler Jr. (1905 – 1968) was an American commercial artist and advertising executive, best known as co-founder of the influential agency Sudler & Hennessey, which helped define the look of mid-20th-century pharmaceutical advertising.

He trained at the Maryland Institute and studied under notable painters such as John Sloan and Robert Henri, before moving into graphic and advertising work during the Depression.
