I have a fabulous Mid Century Chic Handcrafted Chased Relief Copper Art Wall Hanging Picture, depicting the famous American Blues Singer Trixie Smith (1895 - 1943), Trixie was a recording artist, vaudeville entertainer, and also an actress. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, she moved to New York City at the age of twenty and worked in different cafés and theatres in Harlem and Philadelphia. Best remembered for "Railroad Blues" which was one of her most invigorated vocal performances recorded, and "The World Is Jazz Crazy And So Am I". (Louis Armstrong played the cornet on both songs.) Trixie also appeared in Mae West's 1931 short-lived Broadway play, "The Constant Sinner." Two years later, Smith was promoted to the stage of the Theatre Guild for its production of "Louisiana." By the late 1930s Trixie girlish voice had become more full-bodied, and her performance style more direct and sexual. This inspired many rhythm-and-blues soul singers that have since adopted her seductive style.
This has been named "Trixie" and signed by the artist "Fredly Sisimia" on the right-hand side. This has been mounted on a black painted board, and the copper edges stapled firmly to the board, with string stapled on the back for hanging. This copper wall art is a handmade piece made by hammering or pressing with tools on a copper sheet into an image to recreate the image on the copper. The image is made in reverse and upon completion, it is turned over, then attached to a backing panel before adding the finishing work. This artist is indeed very talented and skilled as is seen in the work on this piece, it is crafted in a stencil style and it is absolutely striking, with the natural copper highlighted by the black background, with loads of intricate detailing in Trixies Curly hair, enhances and makes her face stand out.
This is perfect for adding a touch of classic copper glow to any room! It is shining and has a wonderful rustic aged patina and will make an excellent addition to add to your Jazz and Blues Decor or your personal art collection.
Copper has an antibacterial effect, studies show that copper alloy surfaces kill 99.9% of E. coli microbes after just 1–2 hours. However, when stainless steel surfaces were tested, the microbes can survive for weeks.
COPPER HISTORY: Copper is an essential metal mined and used by man from prehistoric times to the 21st century. Metallic copper surfaces kill bacteria and microbes on contact, decimating their populations, "This means that usually no live microorganisms can be recovered from copper surfaces after exposure" In fact, Antimicrobial Copper and its alloys (e.g. brass and bronze) are registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as being able to kill greater than 99.9% of infection-causing bacteria within two hours of exposure. No wonder many Civilizations use copper to make Money, Weapons, Religious objects, Utensils, Artworks, Jewelry, Machinery, Scientific and Musical Instruments. It is the base ingredient used in the production of other metals such as Brass and Bronze. Most of the copper used today is recycled. Pure copper has a reddish-orange colour and is one of the few metals found in nature in usable soft, malleable metallic form, ductile metal with very high electrical & thermal conductivity. Copper is also an essential trace element that is vital to the health of all living things.
