Me Singing Strawberry Roan

After a couple of minutes of Bach, the song, Strawberry Roan is sung as an introduction to these Unusual Texas Tales. This is a collection of unusual stories from Texas that I put together in 1979 when I was in Austin.

William Pyron, 1849-1862, Killed As A 13 Year Old By Lincoln's Army
William Pyron, 1849-1862. Killed As A 13 Year Old By An Invading Federal Army
Recently I posted something on the April 13, 2017 broadcast by Michael Savage on Abraham Lincoln as a dictator. Many families who have been in this country since the Revolutionary War and before and had relatives or ancestors living in the South at the time of the 1861-65 war retain memories of civilian family members being shot and killed by soldiers of Lincoln's invading armies. A day or two ago I thought of an account from one Pyron family history about a boy being shot and killed by some of Lincoln's soldiers when they invaded a state of the South, I think Mississippi.
On page 61 of the Dowdle-Pyron Book, by Mabel Smith Sykes,, she lists the children of Michael Pyron, born 1817, and Tabitha Taylor Pyron, born 1821. Child number 6 is William Pyron, born in 1849 and died in 1862 -"Killed by Yankees on steep hill to grist mill - 13 years old."
This 13 year old,William, Pyron, was the great-grandson of John, born in 1762, who was the first cousin of my ancestor William, born 1757, so he is a distant cousin, but a relative nevertheless.
Michael B. Pyron, 1817-1890, was the father of William Pyron, born 1849. Michael B. Pyron;s father was Allen Pyron, 1791-1835, and Allen Pyron was the son of John Pyron,, born 1762.
Apparently John,Pyron, born 1762 and ,William Pyron, born 1757, were first cousins. William Pyron, born 1757 was the grandfather of my great-grandfather Andrew Jackson Pyron. ,1814-1859, who died at Berwick, LA. Andrew Jackson Pyron, born 1814, was the son of William C. Pyron and Nancy Pyron. Andrew Jackson Pyron was the father of Eugenia Pyron; Aurelius Milton Pyron 1846-1932,, Annie Pyron and Angeline Pyron. Aurelius Milton Pyron was my grandfather and Blake B. Pyron, 1889-1964, my father.

Erasing the Line Separating the Arts from Crafts,
https://craftcouncil.org/post/ "Rose Slivka's groundbreaking article on ceramics, published in 1961 shortly after she became editor of Craft Horizons, highlighted the movement of clay artists toward the abstract. Peter Voulkos and others, like Paul Soldner and John Mason, used the medium to create very challenging work. Colors, shapes, textures, and size were juxtaposed in sculptural work against classical functional forms. The marriage of these Abstract Expressionist ideas and clay resulted in big change, and Slivka's article cemented this movement in the greater art world. There was a lot of praise for the work, and a lot of outrage." "Rose Slivka in 1961 wrote that "The current pull of potters into sculpture - in every material and method, including welded metals, cast bronze, plaster, wood, plastic, etc - is a phenomenon of the last five years. So great a catalyst has been American painting that the odyssey from surface to form has been made through its power." "As a fusion between the two dimensional and the three dimensional, American pottery is realizing itself as a distinct art form. It is like a barometer of our esthetic situation." It may be that the editors of Artforum in 1964 were aware of Rose Slivika's 1961 article on the American ceramic sculpture movement becoming an art form. This awareness may be a big reason they published an article by an unknown professor at a Wisconsin State College, called the Tao and Dada of Recent American Ceramic Art,.I knew who Rose Slivika was as he editor of Crafts Horizon, but I do not remember reading her 1961 article on the new ceramic presence. Slivka, Rose. "Erasing the Line Separating the Arts from Crafts," Smithsonian, March, 1978. pp. 86-93. Pyron, Bernard. "The Tao and Dada of Recent American Ceramic Art," Artforum, March, 1964. pp. 41-43. I began my 1964 article in Artforum by writing about clay as a medium. "As a material of artistic communication clay has an old and deep meaning for man. Not only did he use clay, along with wood,stone and straw for his first tools and utensils, but clay sculpture preceded stone sculpture in some cultures and the knowledge of firing processes was necessary for the development of bronze casting." I mentioned the tendency of people "to separate "fine art" from "minor art," or mere crafts, And I say that "Once one has gotten the feeling of the clay, preconceived notions of "good" or traditional form can get in the way of spontaneous creation, of letting the material itself, and the potter's ideas of form arising partly unconsciously, during the act of throwing, determine the final form." Many American potters "wanted to express process even more than the Japanese." "A large sculptural piece by Peter Voulkos (Fig 10) is expressive of the throwing process, the slab-building process, the process pf modeling with the hands or tools and the process of simply picking up bits of scrap clay and sticking them on." The article title, "The Tao and Dada of Recent American Ceramic Art" is about the influence of Chinese Tang and Sung dynasty pottery and the Taoism which was behind this pottery on many American potters of the fifties and sixties. The Dada art movement went on briefly right before it turned into Surrealism, which was a major influence upon New York Abstract Expressionist painting on American ceramic sculpture that Rose Slivica wrote about in her 1961 Crafts Horizon article. http://www.chicagoreader.com/… American Studio Ceramics: Innovation and Identity, 1940 To 1979, Martha Dexter Lynn. On page 364, footnote number 32, Lynn quotes Cecile Whiting Common Ground: Ceramics In Southern California, 1945- 1975,, 2012, saying that "The art critic Bernard Pyron tartly noted three years after Slivika's article that even the fine art world was aware of the ferment in ceramics." |
