Harwell Hamilton Harris / Hawk House
The Edwin (Stan) Hawk House by Harwell Hamilton Harris (1939) is for sale.
Back in 2011 I posted about Stan Hawk's house being the actual Hawk House, of California iron fame. It was nice to actually see inside. Unfortunately none of the iron was left.
So I brought my own.
There is a bedroom under the deck seen in the photo above. Those windows are sliders, which open up for a nice breeze. However, it would be quite a drop if you stumbled out of bed in the wrong direction.
The Japanese influence is seen throughout the house.
It is Silver Lake but I thought the boho furniture for the staging was a little much.
Originally, it was a little more subdued. What's with that tree brach?

Richard Saar Ceramics / AMOCA
Discovering Saar Ceramics Curated by Jo Lauria, AMOCA Adjunct Curator
Richard Saar (1924 – 2004)
To be honest, although I know I've seen Saar's work around, it never really registered with me. The only Saar I was familiar with was his ex-wife Betye Saar. They were married from 1952-70.
After serving in the Coast Guard in World War II, Richard moved to Los Angeles to finish his arts education. In 1949 he started a ceramics business will his brother William. It operated until 1962. This exhibition includes an overview of his work.

Early studio production.
Most of the output by Saar Ceramics consisted of production slipware from molds, cast from handmade originals.
The ephemera wall
I know you saw that lantern hanging back there. In the late 1940's Richard went to school with Malcolm Leland at Jepson Art Institute in Los Angeles.
Richard was also associated with The Ackermans.
The exhibition runs until September 16th
