A historical museum was tragically blown up in Ivankiv (Kyiv) and 25 works by Ukranian folk artist, Maria Prymachenko was lost.
The folksy art style of painter Peter Hunt is my latest obsession. His story is a rags to riches tale, and it happened in my own back yard on Cape Cod. Peter moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts with his parents in the late 1920s. Peter followed in his artist father's footsteps, and began painting as a hobby. He painted old furniture and household items found at thrift shops, decorating them with colorful folk art patterns he called peasant style. His patterns called to mind Pennsylvania German and French Provincial folk art. Hearts, flowers, birds, fish, angels, maidens and suitors were all depicted in his happy colorful designs. Peter sometimes would add French phrases to the designs, and this became his signature style as well as a way of identifying his pieces. The year the item was painted would be noted this way, "Anno Domini '43" to indicate it was painted in the year 1943. His artistic journey began after he painted a chest for a small girl with scenes from her life. His reputation spread and soon he found his items selling to the wealthy summer patrons of Cape Cod. They loved his fun and cheerful pieces of furniture, perfect for their summer homes. He became so well known, that Dupont sponsored him with their paint line and produced a book on how to paint decorative furniture. New York's cosmetic giant Helena Rubenstein was a famous patron. Peter was quite a charmer and a colorful character, known for his good looks, wit and outrageous story telling. His reputation was quite bright in the 1930s and 1940s, due to his popularity with the jet set and their promotions of his peasant painted designs. New York department stores clamored to carry his furniture, so Peter hired local teenagers and taught them how to paint in the Peter Hunt style. Macy's and Gimbels carried his wares. Peter also came out with decals for those who were artistically challenged so housewives could decorate in the Peter Hunt style. He wrote the Peter Hunt Workbook, and Peter Hunt's How to Do It, encouraging women to redo furniture during the challenging depression era and World War 2. This charming simple painting style captured many hearts. There is a Peter Hunt bench sitting in a country club in Hyannis. Life magazine, House Beautiful, Vogue, National Geographic, Country Living and McCall's magazine all have featured Peter's art. Peter Hunt even landed the cover of TIME magazine! He was asked to create the Cape Cod room in the Drake Hotel of Chicago. He painted sea murals on the walls, and the room was adorned with Cape Cod style items, such as copper chowder pots hanging from the beams. His painted pieces were quite desirable then and now can be spotted at auction these days bringing thousands of dollars, like this mirror currently on 1st Dibs for $3800. His charming style has inspired me to try this style of "peasant" style painting. His popular painting style waned in the 1950s. By then he had moved to another town on the Cape, Orleans, and opened a shop called Peacock Alley. He lived there until he died of a heart attack at home, almost penniless. His story fascinated me. A man who had no formal training, but painted from the heart and followed his passion to find popularity and success for most of his adult life. His cookbook and his workbook are on their way to me now, as I have hunted them down on eBay. Its been a joy to research him, and see his painted pieces. Peter influenced and taught many other artists, such as Nancy Whorf, who started her own art career painting in the Peter Hunt style also in Provincetown and eventually shifted to fine arts painting. This is one of Nancy's pieces, and the Peter Hunt charm is evident in her brushstrokes. Her former home, still decorated with many folk art details she painted, is available for rent on Airbnb. She is a celebrated artist in her own right, but began her journey under the tutelage of Peter Hunt. Stepping back in time to uncover the life and times of this major folk artist was such a highlight, and I hope you enjoyed learning about Peter Hunt.
About The Artwork The title Fran refers to a dog I had years ago named Francisco. The dog, a whippet breed, lived with me for many years until it got sick and died. Dogs are faithful and inseparable friends. When my first daughter was born, Francisco was already among us. She lived with him until she grew up. This artwork is a tribute to the kind personality of this animal that brought so much joy to my home at that time.

“It appears that some part of Slothrop ran into the AWOL Džabajev one night in the heart of downtown Niederschaumdorf. (Some believe that fragments of Slothrop have grown into consistent personae of their own. If so, there’s no telling which of the Zone’s present-day population are offshoots of his original scattering. There’s supposed to be a last photograph of him on the only record album ever put out by The Fool, an English rock group—seven musicians posed, in the arrogant style of the early Stones, near an old rocket-bomb site, out in the East End, or South of the River. It is spring, and French thyme blossoms in amazing white lacework across the cape of green that now hides and softens the true shape of the old rubble. There is no way to tell which of the faces is Slothrop’s: the only printed credit that might apply to him is “Harmonica, kazoo—a friend.” But knowing his Tarot, we would expect to look among the Humility, among the gray and preterite souls, to look for him adrift in the hostile light of the sky, the darkness of the sea…)” ― Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s...
