LOUIS S. GLANZMAN (american b. 1922) `PASSING A LEGACY` Signed with initials and signed and dated `© LSG LOUIS S. GLANZMAN `89` lower center right side, oil on canvas 45 x 73 1/2 in. (114.3 x 186.7cm) provenance: Collection of Mrs. Paul`s Kitchen. note: On September 17, 1987 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, America began the five year celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Constitution when Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, Park Superintendent Hobart Cawood and eight children rang the Liberty Bell replica officially commemorating that great day in 1787. On that day in 1987 the heritage of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights was passed from one generation to the next whose responsibility it will be to observe and protect our most important document and all that it represents. The Copernicus Society of America commissioned noted artist Louis Glanzman to capture that moment in time and the final work, `Passing a Legacy`, does it beautifully. Chief Justice Burger and Park Superintendent Cawood symbolically relinquish the responsibility to observe and protect the United State Constitution and the Bill of Rights to the next generation of Americans who are represented by the diverse ethnicity of the eight children who are ringing the Liberty Bell. As a point of interest, artist Louis Glanzman painted himself into the painting even though he was not actually present on September 17, 1987. He is the silver haired gentleman wearing glasses and smoking a cigar on the far right of the painting. We wish to thank Erik Nelson for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
