Silent Auction Lot 5: Malm, Norman (1928-2011) Swedish paddle/plaque, woodcarving, signed on back, good condition, size: 18.5 x 7 5 x .75. Norman Gene Herman Malm was born 28 October 1928 to Reinhold and Marie Johnson Malm. Both of his great-grandfathers emigrated from Sweden in the late 1800's. Norman was entirely self-taught. There was much talent in his family, as his great uncle G.N. Malm and daughter Alba were well known painters- but Norman did not study art or carving, it just came naturally. Norman began painting in the early 50's. Upon his marriage to Rosemary Pearson in 1952, his father in law, Anton Pearson encouraged him to delve deeper into woodcarving. He gave Norman some pointers and the talented Norman took off on his own. His carving style was uniquely his own. It has been said that Norman didn't begin carving or drawing until his relationship with Anton. That is untrue. Norman also was a prolific cartoonist with a wicked sense of humor and loved to take jabs at social and environmental injustices amongst other things. Always in touch with his Swedish heritage, he could be found painting Swedish kurbits as well as painting and carving those mythical little helpers, the Tomtes. Norman's son Jim carries on his dad's tradition of carving the crafty little Swedish guys, The Malm Tomtes.

Silent Auction Lot 6: Malm, Norman (1928-2011) Old man in top hat, woodcarving, signed on right side, good condition, size: 6.25 x 1.75 x 1.75 inches. Norman Gene Herman Malm was born 28 October 1928 to Reinhold and Marie Johnson Malm. Both of his great-grandfathers emigrated from Sweden in the late 1800's. Norman was entirely self-taught. There was much talent in his family, as his great uncle G.N. Malm and daughter Alba were well known painters- but Norman did not study art or carving, it just came naturally. Norman began painting in the early 50's. Upon his marriage to Rosemary Pearson in 1952, his father in law, Anton Pearson encouraged him to delve deeper into woodcarving. He gave Norman some pointers and the talented Norman took off on his own. His carving style was uniquely his own. It has been said that Norman didn't begin carving or drawing until his relationship with Anton. That is untrue. Norman also was a prolific cartoonist with a wicked sense of humor and loved to take jabs at social and environmental injustices amongst other things.

Silent Auction Lot 18: Kahmeyer, Ray (1930-2007) small brown cup, stoneware, Kahmeyer stamp at base. good condition, no chips or cracks, size: 3 x 3.25 x 3.25 inches. Ray Kaymeyer was a graduate of Kansas State University with a BFA and MFA. He also attended Alfred University in New York. He was a Professor of Art, teaching ceramics, at Bethany College, Lindsborg, KS. He also served as department head, retiring as the Mary J. Mingen back Distinguished Professor of Art. Kaymeyer belonged to the Kansas Craftsman Assoc. National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and American Craftsman Council. Ray Kahmeyer (1930-2007) was born on September 10, 1930, in Nashville, Kansas. Kahmeyer taught ceramics for 25 years at Bethany College (1967-92), heading the art department after his first two years and then earning the endowed position of the Mary J. Mingenback Distinguished Professor of Art in 1973. Kahmeyer graduated from Pratt High School in 1948, and for some years worked as a butcher and did renovation projects for homes in the Pratt and Great Bend area along with woodworking with his father. After a stint in the US Navy during the Korean War, Ray returned home and decided to use the G.I. Bill and his construction skills to become an architect. Settling in Manhattan at Kansas State University, Kahmeyer discovered his life work by chance, taking a ceramics course as an art elective and immediately “got bit” by the clay bug, as his sister Joy Davis described in 2016. Kahmeyer earned both his bachelor’s degree and Master of Arts from K-State, finishing a thesis on the raku method of ceramic firing and glazing to graduate in 1967. The bulk of Kahmeyer’s work is wheel-thrown, high-fired stoneware, suitable for domestic use. His friendships with important American ceramists Warren MacKenzie (1924- 2018) and Paul Soldner (1921-2011), with their own crucial influences of England’s Bernard Leach (1887-1979) and Japan’s Shoji Hamada (1894- 1978), continued to inform his work in functional pottery throughout his career. Kahmeyer exhibited his pots widely throughout his career, showing in a variety of regional exhibitions each year and occasionally sending work further afield to other states across the country. He earned numerous purchase awards and his work appears in a host of museum and private collections. The professor was also invited often to other colleges and high schools to present lectures, demonstrations, and workshops. Kahmeyer taught ceramics at Bethany for two and a half decades, imparting hard science lessons in the chemistry of glaze mixing and the physics of materials under forces of motion and heat, but gave all his students much more than a typical college education. The ceramics professor retired in 1992 but continued to work in his home studio – a re-constructed chicken barn rebuilt with salvaged materials, including a plethora of old windows that provided good lighting. Kahmeyer and a few other Lindsborg artists began inviting people in to view and purchase work, inadvertently establishing Lindsborg’s annual Artist Studio Open House that continues today.

The professor was also invited often to other colleges and high schools to present lectures, demonstrations, and workshops. Kahmeyer taught ceramics at Bethany for two and a half decades, imparting hard science lessons in the chemistry of glaze mixing and the physics of materials under forces of motion and heat, but gave all his students much more than a typical college education. The ceramics professor retired in 1992 but continued to work in his home studio – a re-constructed chicken barn rebuilt with salvaged materials, including a plethora of old windows that provided good lighting. Kahmeyer and a few other Lindsborg artists began inviting people in to view and purchase work, inadvertently establishing Lindsborg’s annual Artist Studio Open House that continues today.

Ray Kaymeyer was a graduate of Kansas State University with a BFA and MFA. He also attended Alfred University in New York. He was a Professor of Art, teaching ceramics, at Bethany College, Lindsborg, KS. He also served as department head, retiring as the Mary J. Mingen back Distinguished Professor of Art. Kaymeyer belonged to the Kansas Craftsman Assoc. National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and American Craftsman Council. Ray Kahmeyer (1930-2007) was born on September 10, 1930, in Nashville, Kansas. Kahmeyer taught ceramics for 25 years at Bethany College (1967-92), heading the art department after his first two years and then earning the endowed position of the Mary J. Mingenback Distinguished Professor of Art in 1973. Kahmeyer graduated from Pratt High School in 1948, and for some years worked as a butcher and did renovation projects for homes in the Pratt and Great Bend area along with woodworking with his father. After a stint in the US Navy during the Korean War, Ray returned home and decided to use the G.I. Bill and his construction skills to become an architect. Settling in Manhattan at Kansas State University, Kahmeyer discovered his life work by chance, taking a ceramics course as an art elective and immediately “got bit” by the clay bug, as his sister Joy Davis described in 2016. Kahmeyer earned both his bachelor’s degree and Master of Arts from K-State, finishing a thesis on the raku method of ceramic firing and glazing to graduate in 1967. The bulk of Kahmeyer’s work is wheel-thrown, high-fired stoneware, suitable for domestic use. His friendships with important American ceramists Warren MacKenzie (1924- 2018) and Paul Soldner (1921-2011), with their own crucial influences of England’s Bernard Leach (1887-1979) and Japan’s Shoji Hamada (1894- 1978), continued to inform his work in functional pottery throughout his career.

His friendships with important American ceramists Warren MacKenzie (1924- 2018) and Paul Soldner (1921-2011), with their own crucial influences of England’s Bernard Leach (1887-1979) and Japan’s Shoji Hamada (1894- 1978), continued to inform his work in functional pottery throughout his career. Kahmeyer exhibited his pots widely throughout his career, showing in a variety of regional exhibitions each year and occasionally sending work further afield to other states across the country. He earned numerous purchase awards and his work appears in a host of museum and private collections. The professor was also invited often to other colleges and high schools to present lectures, demonstrations, and workshops. Kahmeyer taught ceramics at Bethany for two and a half decades, imparting hard science lessons in the chemistry of glaze mixing and the physics of materials under forces of motion and heat, but gave all his students much more than a typical college education. The ceramics professor retired in 1992 but continued to work in his home studio – a re-constructed chicken barn rebuilt with salvaged materials, including a plethora of old windows that provided good lighting. Kahmeyer and a few other Lindsborg artists began inviting people in to view and purchase work, inadvertently establishing Lindsborg’s annual Artist Studio Open House that continues today.

Ray Kaymeyer was a graduate of Kansas State University with a BFA and MFA. He also attended Alfred University in New York. He was a Professor of Art, teaching ceramics, at Bethany College, Lindsborg, KS. He also served as department head, retiring as the Mary J. Mingen back Distinguished Professor of Art. Kaymeyer belonged to the Kansas Craftsman Assoc. National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and American Craftsman Council. Ray Kahmeyer (1930-2007) was born on September 10, 1930, in Nashville, Kansas. Kahmeyer taught ceramics for 25 years at Bethany College (1967-92), heading the art department after his first two years and then earning the endowed position of the Mary J. Mingenback Distinguished Professor of Art in 1973. Kahmeyer graduated from Pratt High School in 1948, and for some years worked as a butcher and did renovation projects for homes in the Pratt and Great Bend area along with woodworking with his father. After a stint in the US Navy during the Korean War, Ray returned home and decided to use the G.I. Bill and his construction skills to become an architect. Settling in Manhattan at Kansas State University, Kahmeyer discovered his life work by chance, taking a ceramics course as an art elective and immediately “got bit” by the clay bug, as his sister Joy Davis described in 2016.

His friendships with important American ceramists Warren MacKenzie (1924- 2018) and Paul Soldner (1921-2011), with their own crucial influences of England’s Bernard Leach (1887-1979) and Japan’s Shoji Hamada (1894- 1978), continued to inform his work in functional pottery throughout his career. Kahmeyer exhibited his pots widely throughout his career, showing in a variety of regional exhibitions each year and occasionally sending work further afield to other states across the country. He earned numerous purchase awards and his work appears in a host of museum and private collections. The professor was also invited often to other colleges and high schools to present lectures, demonstrations, and workshops. Kahmeyer taught ceramics at Bethany for two and a half decades, imparting hard science lessons in the chemistry of glaze mixing and the physics of materials under forces of motion and heat, but gave all his students much more than a typical college education. The ceramics professor retired in 1992 but continued to work in his home studio – a re-constructed chicken barn rebuilt with salvaged materials, including a plethora of old windows that provided good lighting. Kahmeyer and a few other Lindsborg artists began inviting people in to view and purchase work, inadvertently establishing Lindsborg’s annual Artist Studio Open House that continues today.

Ray Kaymeyer was a graduate of Kansas State University with a BFA and MFA. He also attended Alfred University in New York. He was a Professor of Art, teaching ceramics, at Bethany College, Lindsborg, KS. He also served as department head, retiring as the Mary J. Mingen back Distinguished Professor of Art. Kaymeyer belonged to the Kansas Craftsman Assoc. National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and American Craftsman Council. Ray Kahmeyer (1930-2007) was born on September 10, 1930, in Nashville, Kansas. Kahmeyer taught ceramics for 25 years at Bethany College (1967-92), heading the art department after his first two years and then earning the endowed position of the Mary J. Mingenback Distinguished Professor of Art in 1973. Kahmeyer graduated from Pratt High School in 1948, and for some years worked as a butcher and did renovation projects for homes in the Pratt and Great Bend area along with woodworking with his father. After a stint in the US Navy during the Korean War, Ray returned home and decided to use the G.I. Bill and his construction skills to become an architect. Settling in Manhattan at Kansas State University, Kahmeyer discovered his life work by chance, taking a ceramics course as an art elective and immediately “got bit” by the clay bug, as his sister Joy Davis described in 2016.

Silent Auction Lot 23: Raymer, Lester (1907-1991) Hyllningfest brochure cover, 1985 print, pencil signed in lower right. Lester Raymer, born in 1907, grew up on a farm just southwest of Alva, Oklahoma. Raymer worked with a variety of art forms beginning in his early grade school years and continuing throughout his artistic career. He received his bachelor's degree in art from the Art Institute of Chicago. From 1936 to 1945 Raymer lived on his family farm again and continued to develop his artwork. Raymer met Ramona Weddle, his future wife, at the Art Institute. Raymer's art was influenced by a number of factors. The circus came to Alva often during Raymer's childhood. He worked for a poultry business where he did drawings and paintings in his spare time. The "Bible" was a source of imagery beginning in his childhood. Raymer's painting professor at the Chicago Art Institute was Boris Anisfeld from Russia, and his art history professor was Helen Gardner, author of "Art Through the Ages", long-time used as a textbook of American art. Raymer talked often of the great influence his trips to Mexico had on his artwork and of his desire to remodel his studio in the style of a Mexican home. Raymer won major awards and international recognition with his religious art work and liturgical commissions. He taught one year at Bethany College in the art department and then made his living from the sale of his artwork. He utilized a variety of materials to produce a diverse body of artwork. Lamps, candleholders, furniture, and many of the sculptures in the studio were made for the studio use, not to sell. His paintings were most significant to him. Raymer was a studio artist in Lindsborg, Kansas until his death in 1991.
