The Rabut Collection

Paul Rabut began collecting African and Native American art in the mid-1940s. As anillustrator and artist he was attracted to the aesthetic qualities of these artifacts and began alife-long study of the people who created them. He was fortunate to know and work withmany of the important collectors of the time. Most of his collection was acquired throughthe traditional channels of other collectors, dealers, and auctions. One of the highlights ofhis life was a painting trip he took to British Columbia in the late 1940s. After illustratingseveral magazine stories about the timber industry, he accepted an invitation from one ofthe logging companies to witness and sketch the logging operations in person. Anopportunity to visit several ethnographic sites while in the area furthered his appreciationof the native culture. The Rabut Collection represented choices made through the artist’seye. Rabut appreciated and felt a connection with the mostly anonymous carvers andartisans who created these remarkable pieces.
