Robert Stark Jr. Oil on Canvas “Red Sail”
Robert Stark Jr. (1933-2014) Oil on Canvas “Red Sail”, with Brant Point Light in the distance, signed lower left R. Stark.
11 in. x 14 in. Overall 19 ½ in. x 16 ½ in.
Robert Stark Jr.’s legacy is a modernist approach to American Luminist paintings. Working principally in oil on canvas or panel, he is best known for coastal scenes that feature an iconic, red sailed catboat. Stark’s work is characterized by the use of aerial perspective and a concealment of visible brushstrokes. Through effective use of of light in landscape, his paintings evoke tranquility and calm, inferring poetic intimacy.
Stark attended Nantucket schools and after graduating from high school, served in the US Navy during the Korean War. He was the founder and director of Nantucket’s oldest gallery, the Stark Gallery on Old North Wharf.
His work has been presented in fine galleries in New England and NYC, and is represented in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the US, Canada, Ireland, Great Britain, Germany, France and China. ~ Carolyn Walsh

Chinese Han Blackware Amphora, Bronze Bosses – TL & XRF
East Asia, China, Western Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 9 CE. An impressive, twin-handled, burnished blackware amphora of a globular form with bold, arching handles that join rim (in a flush manner) to shoulder, adorned with 22 well-patinated circular bronze bosses whose protruding centers are surrounded by beaded borders. Embellishing the vessel even more are delineated ridges running from the points of the flared neck to the body, boldly modeled swirls surrounding the larger bosses on the body, incised flaring leaf-like and nested arch motifs and concave depressions on the handles, as well as an incised register adorned with three bands of vertical frets around the neck. Truly one of the most exquisite ancient Chinese vessels we have ever handled! Size: 11.5″ L x 12.75″ W x 13″ H (29.2 cm x 32.4 cm x 33 cm)
This type of double-handled amphora was made in western Sichuan province, in central China, and is known as “Lifan” after the area where vessels like it are found. The style is fascinating, very different from others created during the Han period, and seems to be an artistic callback to the elegant forms of the Chinese Neolithic era. These vessels are found mainly within rock-cut tombs and cist burials, with a few examples known from the more classically Han chambered brick tombs. This suggests that these vessels were made by immigrants or members of non-dominant ethnic groups within Han China, probably people who lived a nomadic lifestyle centered on husbandry while their Chinese contemporaries led more sedentary, agricultural-based lifestyles.
