Matted. Unsigned. REW would often take his students from John Herron Art Institute to sketch during rehearsals of the Butler University Ballet (Indianapolis, IN). This work, although a study, has great depth because of its composition observing reflections in the dance studio mirrors to set the principal dancers forward. #331A Estate stamped. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1753636794846-EJOY1RAAIKBPSKJD0EQH/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Windjammer" (Ward Stauth) 1975 Pastel on illustration board. 41.5 x 28.5 inches, created in Indianapolis, IN In the mid-1970s Robert Edward Weaver became involved with the Windjammers Unlimited, a circus music historical organization. One of the early members and champions of the organization was Ward Stauth from Corydon, IN. Stauth is the principal figure in the composition of this work. Weaver also was becoming interested in doing fantasy works, adapting nostalgic subjects into his creative process. Reflections of clowns, circus patrons, and other images reminiscent of the circus can be seen in the sousaphone bell to the left. #55 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1428952962293-BKVRA7SYKTCJ40VXE2TF/_DSC9323.jpg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Aerialists Waiting" c. 1980* Prisma Color on illustration board. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1428952983278-98XIWJ873HWTDCLJNBR7/_DSC9339.jpg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Pole Wagon" c. 1985 Lithographic print, hand colored by the artist using Pismacolor, and pastels.

Risley is a posture where the base person is lying supine, supporting one or more flyers with hands, feet and/or other parts of the body; spinning a person or object using only one's feet. The act is named after Richard Risley Carlisle (1814–1874) who developed this kind of act in the United States.

Graphite pencil and pastel on illustration board. 45.5 x 29.625 inches, created in Mexico, IN. Pirouette concentrates on the muscular aspects of the circus flier in the act of performance. It is a freeze frame of the athleticism that is required to perform the “pirouette” a full twist in the air with no attachment to earth other than gravity. It is a dramatic representation of athletics and skill that only a few are able to attain. The subject is a Mexican flier that performed with the Carson and Barns Circus in the mid-seventies just prior to Weaver’s move to Indianapolis. #21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1429454369704-R1DZM08JY18PHO4AHF0V/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Another Opening, Another Show" Graphite pencil, Prismacolor, on board. c. 1980. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1429454596518-K6N4XVPTH8HD4POZJ99B/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Classic Forms" c. 1985 Graphite pencil, india ink, gesso, on panel. In the artists words: “A play between light and heavy moods, using the juxtaposition of objects both classic and frivolous.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1432398860310-5G248ZKHYAY4SBQXESXN/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Twins" c. 1984* Graphite pencil, and Prisma Color. This is just one in a series of twins. REW enjoyed observing people, and illustrating them in a whimsical manor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1754048976705-GIGBL4V564Y5D9NZ06ON/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Equestrians Awaiting Their Cue" 1985 Graphite pencil and Prismacolor on paper. 19 x 14 inches, created in New Bern, NC The anticipation of entering the “Big Top” was a subject that Robert Edward Weaver found compelling. This theme occurred often in his work. Weaver considered it the moment of truth for the performers. He was fascinated by what performers may be thinking during that quiet moment just before entering the arena or tent. Costuming was always something Weaver considered an important element in the performance. The flashier the better, remarking in letters to home how great the wardrobe was when he would go to the circus at Madison Square Garden during his time living in New York City. The dappled draft horse was a favorite of Weaver, and this small work features the breed prominently.

Harkening back to his 1956 painting "Circus Poster," now in the collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, REW was fascinated with the look of worn circus posters on buildings, reflections of the passing summers when the circus visited town.

Exhibited at the 42nd Annual Exhibition of the Indiana Artists Club, October, 1974. "Blue Danube" by REW is a study in the human condition of circus life. Roustabouts were worked very hard on the traveling circus, so rest was wherever and whenever you could get it. The title of this work alludes to not just the color palette used in the composition, but to the music a tired roustabout (in this case with the Clyde Beatty – Cole Bros. Circus) is hearing from within the tent. In this case that of Johann Strauss, Jr. (collection of the International Circus Hall of Fame) #W18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1753989368845-4VHNTWGTZLNACRHS8CZR/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Wheel of Fortune" 1975 Prismacolor on illustration board. 51 x 21.75 inches, created in Indianapolis, IN This beautifully executed piece of draftsmanship and coloration was typical of Robert Edward Weaver’s nostalgic look at the craftsmanship and artistry of the circus wagon builders - most notably Sullivan and Eagle - and the wheelwright’s that he grew up with in his home town of Peru, Indiana. This work is a tribute to the lost artistry of the folk art craft that added to the visual spectacle that was so important to the overall experience of the circus coming to town. #49 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1726757949161-608M83228T88XOUW52QK/93D3266B-1D18-4B6C-BB7B-CEC2EEA919E0_1_201_a.jpeg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "My Sister Nio" 1971 Graphite pencil, and acrylic paint on gesso panel. Winner of the Mrs. Donald Mattison Merit Award at the 1971 Indiana Artists Club Exhibition. Like many during the late 1960's into 1970's REW was influenced by the the technological blossoming of the space age, and magazines such as OMNI. His works took on a much more symmetrical and techno style developing into what he referred to as "Circus Immaculate." "My Sister Nio" is just such a work. The Nio Nito Sisters did an amazing wire act at that time. So convincing and flawless was their performance that REW imagined that they must have gyroscopes in their heads, hence his fantastic illustration of the duo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1656070978641-GRJU09SFW13FT2AUIL3D/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - Butterfly Ladies, c. 1977 Pastel and Prisma color on board. This work was featured first in the exhibition “Two Centuries of CIRCUS ART - Center Ring: The Artist” at the Milwaukee Art Museum, May 7 - June 28, 1981. The exhibit of art on circus themes that included works by Picasso, Matisse, Chagall and Calder, as well as contemporary Wisconsin and American artists including REW, plus a healthy swath of posters, banners and circus memorabilia. The exhibition toured to Columbus, Ohio; Albany, N.Y.; and Washington, DC. It was first shown at the artist’s solo exhibition Indiana State Museum from September 25, 1977 through January 15, 1978. Because of the exhibition's tremendous reception, and attendance, it was held over at the ISM until February 15, 1978.

Among the many performers he got to know was the famed Riding Hanneford family. He was particularly impressed by Gracie Hanneford daughter of the great Edwin "Poodles" Hanneford. This massive work is his homage to the performer. It is a strong work that demonstrates the artist’s strengths, great draftsmanship in his figural, and equine subjects, and colorations carefully chosen and executed, giving his works of this period great depth. #W86 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1684320459298-BYQEQ8ADSBQN47HEOYKJ/image-asset.jpeg Paintings | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "The Butchering" 1947* Oil on panel. 30 x 40 inches. REW’s midwestern equivalent to The Gross Clinic by artist Thomas Eakins. Accepted by the National Academy of Design for its 123rd Annual Exhibition in 1949. Also shown at the 24th Annual Hoosier Salon. Indianapolis, Indiana, and L. S. Ayres & Company, "75th Anniversary Art Exhibition," November 1947 (Second Prize, $750, Edward Hopper, juror). #W28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1465168529685-J4U5YWAJROCUSOTCP079/DSC_0163.jpg Paintings | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Pink Lady" 1949 Oil paint on canvas. 57 x 36 inches. The title of this work is derived not from the principal figure in the painting, but from the performer high in the rigging. During the L.S. Ayres and Co., 75th Anniversary Competition where this work was shown, the Indianapolis Star newspaper commented on jurists, Edward Hopper, Sidney Laufman, and Hobart Nichols debate of the two entries by REW. "…the jury argued that the circus subject didn’t represent Indiana, they did not know that for many years one of the leading American circus companies has had winter quarters in Peru, and Robert Weaver of Peru has painted circus subjects ever since he entered Herron School, several years before the war…" (collection of the Miami County Museum, Peru, IN) #W163 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1669557329724-HMGGOERQHHJK6MCUBNHW/image-asset.jpeg Paintings | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - Untitled, c. 1950 Oil on gesso panel, 31.25” x 23.375” signed R. Weaver lower right. This recently resurfaced work by REW is typical of his style post WWII and just before his “Gothic” style. The subjects on horseback are most likely Edwin “Poodles” Hanneford and his daughter Gracie. REW was very good friends with the Hanneford family, who he depicted many times. He considered them one of the greatest bare-back riding families of all time. The composition perfectly illustrated his youthful enthusiasm for the illustrating the circus of the 1930s and early 40s.

Signed R. Weaver lower right. A work in REW’s “Gothic Style” of the 1950s. The subject, Franz Furtner (1907-1994) who adopted the stage name Unus, was perhaps the mid-twentieth century’s most famous hand balancer. Unus performed his illusionary one finger ball balance with Ringling Bros., Barnum and Bailey Circus, and later internationally. (collection of Mark E.

Probably the greatest big cat trainer of his time, Clyde Beatty was a celebrity of epic proportions. REW was quite intent in his composition The Big Cage to illustrate the performer as the consummate professional. His white safari dress serves as a contrast to the lighting of his cats in the arena. REW was a personal friend of the Beatty family. (Collection of the Peru Circus City Festival Inc.

Another portrait of the clown/aerialist John Cadaro was exhibited at the Grand Central Galleries in New York in the 1950's. Cadaro traveled as a member of the Walter Guice Troupe with Ringling Bros.

Exhibited at the 26th Annual Hoosier Salon. The work was in the private collection of Dr. Ralph and Helen Barnett of Peru, Indiana. (Mark E. Weaver collection) #W117 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1429627828589-RYUID8LQ1IRSJZPMP42S/image-asset.jpeg Paintings | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Lost Parade" 1966 Acrylic on panel. 39 x 31 inches. This is a very important work in that it was the beginning of a new direction for REW. It was one of his first forays into using acrylic paints vs. oils. The medium became Weaver’s favorite to work in because of its fast drying nature without losing the rich coloration that he was known for. The subject of wagons of the American Circus Corporation being piled-up and burned, or left to rot in fields outside of his hometown of Peru, IN, in the 1930's struck a chord with the artist. It would inform his works from then on. Awarded Best In Show at the 1966 Indiana State Fair exhibiton. #W130 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1429557648222-B98ZH1M0ND23SL8F75R7/image-asset.jpeg Paintings | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Hillcrest Gate" 1976 Oil on panel. 53.5 x 53.5 inches.

This small painting by REW is probably one of his first dealing with the subject of auto racing in the midwestern United States. It depicts the high banked dirt track at Winchester, IN. REW was probably still in his teens when he painted this action packed image. #475 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1429379445936-O1K8AP6MEB6PXYDLTSFD/image-asset.jpeg Paintings | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Daniel" 1952 Oil on panel. 57.5 x 31.25 inches.

A later work by REW. Performers anticipating their entrance into the arena was a fascinating thing to REW. He wondered what they may have been thinking in preparation for their performance. This work is akin to James Abbott McNeill Whistler's, Symphony in White No. 1: The White Girl. #W250 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1684320529560-IV7L334UVPSI3L7JKINS/image-asset.jpeg Paintings | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "No Bananas" 1952 Oil on gessoed masonite 49.25” x 22.25”. Framed and signed R. Weaver lower right. Perhaps a memory of his transit of the Atlantic from France in the Fall of 1939 aboard the merchant vessel Fort Richepanse, or of banana stalks hanging in his father’s general store. No Bananas was a work of whimsy and always a conversation piece for visitors to the artist’s home. Denuded banana stalks hang posing the question.

This image by REW depicts the arrival, and set-up of the great Sells Floto Circus tent in stormy weather. No matter what, the show had to go on, and on time. The traveling circus of the age was a symphony of man and beast. #119 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55247a10e4b0c0931a667156/1429378888140-83ADFWQC8XTW3IZU6XN1/image-asset.jpeg Paintings | Artwork | Robert Edward Weaver, Artist - "Gavioli's Dream" 1978* Acrylic on panel. 53.325 x 37.5 inches.

In artist designed frame, and signed R. Weaver lower right. Also referred to as “Take Me to the Water.” A rural southern baptism is illustrated here. Inspired by the artist's travel in the southern states, in particular Louisiana, during his spring recesses from teaching at the Herron School of Art and Design. REW was intrigued by the folklore of the south, developing a special interest in the African American tradition of river and bayou baptisms. This work harkens back to the artist’s so-called “Gothic Style” from over a decade before.

The noted New York art dealer and impresario Ira Spanierman (while looking at REW's work) stated that he was really a great "illustrator." That was pretty much spot on. REW told stories with his work. In this case, the demise of the great circus wagons. These wagons were works of folk art. Wood carvings by immigrant artisans gave each wagon a personality. Capturing the end of their era was a mission that REW took on beginning in the 1966 with his award winning work "Lost Parade," and continued until his passing in 1991.
