About the Item

William A. Berry (American, 1933-2010) was an accomplished artist and renowned illustrator who left thousands of drawings, paintings, photographs, and mixed media works, a multitude of published illustrations, and a legacy as an art educator. His seminal textbook, Drawing the Human Form, remains a staple in studio classrooms. Berry was born in Jacksonville, Texas. He studied at the University of Texas – Austin, where he earned his BFA in 1955, followed by the University of Southern California, where he completed his MFA in 1957. After a two year period of military service in Germany, he embarked on his career as an artist and illustrator in New York City. His work appeared in such publications as Newsweek, The Reporter, Esquire, Harpers Magazine, The NewYork Times, and Sports Illustrated. An art professorship brought him in 1978 to Columbia, Missouri, where he lived for the rest of his life. He retired from the University of Missouri in 1999 as a Curators’ Professor of Art Emeritus.

Louis Osman FRIBA Pavilion architectural design
By Louis Osman
Located in London, GB
Louis Osman was an English artist, architect, goldsmith, silversmith and medallist. He is notable for the gold coronet he designed and made for the investiture in 1969 of Charles, Prince of Wales.

This is likely a portfolio piece from his time studying at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and is as such a piece of architectural history as well as a beautiful Osman design. Osman was awarded a First Class degree and the Donaldson Medal of the RIBA (for the best result in his year group) by the Bartlett, and then went on to the Slade School of Art. He subsequently trained with Sir Albert Richardson – we also have several Richardson works in our collection. After the war, Osman busied himself as an architect. His work included contributions to Westminster Abbey, and Lincoln, Exeter, Ely, and Lichfield Cathedrals, Staunton Harold Church in Ashby de la Zouch for the National Trust, and of course his folly: the Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house, Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire, now a National Trust property. At Canons Ashby he established a workshop and had a team of silversmiths and goldsmiths working for him. In 1976 he made the gold enamelled coffin...
