# William Bowie (sculptor)

William Bowie (1926-1994) was a sculpture artist based in New York City from 1954 to 1994. He is best known for his works using welded gold leaf steel nails. As a contemporary of Harry Bertoia, Curtis Jere, and William and Bruce Friedle, Bowie can be considered a founding figure in the mid-century American metal sculpture genre. His effort to find artistic beauty and meaning in powerful arrangements of industrial materials associates him with the mid-century Brutalism movement.
Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Bowie attended Bethany College and Youngstown University. He moved to New York City in 1954 and opened his first studio in 1958 at 342 East 56th Street. Initially, he worked with mosaics and stained glass, and his early mosaics were made of leather and dyed cellulose sponges. In 1958, he switched to metal work. In 1962, he opened a second studio, called “The Sculpture Studio,” at 202 East 77th Street.
Bowie won multiple awards including the 1965 Purchase Prize from the Sculpture Exhibit of the Butler Institute of American Art at Purdue University and the Symposium ’66 Good Design Award of Outstanding Merit in Craftsmanship from Artist-Craftsman of New York. Bowie exhibited a 12-foot sculpture at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Bowie received numerous commissions from collectors and institutions, including the Society for Savings, New York Bank for Savings, the Americana Hotel in Miami, the Playboy Club in New Orleans, LA., Temple Beth El in St. Petersburg, FL, Hotel San Juan in Puerto Rico and The Center Club in Baltimore.
Bowie died on January 18, 1994, in New York City.

This hostility with the Pratiharas and the devastation of the empire eventually caused the empire to break into smaller dynasties like Paramaras of Malwa and Chauhans of Ajmer and Chaulukyas of Gujarat.
He made matrimonial alliances with the Huns by marrying a Huna princess Hariyadevi. According to R. Somāni, his reign was fairly prosperous and glorious.

# William M. Nash House

The William M. Nash House is a historic house on River Road in Cherryfield, Maine. It is a multiply-altered and renovated structure, now presented as an elaborately decorated 1888 Second Empire house. This design was one of Cherryfield native William A. Allen's most imaginative designs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and is a contributing property to the Cherryfield Historic District. The property is owned by Gordon and Cynthia Kelley.

## Description and history

The Nash House is set at the junction of River Road and School Street on the west side of the Narraguagus River, opposite the central portion of Cherryfield village. It is a large and rambling 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a mansard roof providing a full third floor. Its front facade is three bays wide, with a three-story hip-roofed tower projecting from the center. A single-story porch extends across the front, with turned posts and a modillioned entablature. A balcony projects from the front of the tower on the second level.
The earliest date of construction of surviving portions of this house are not known. It was originally a 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house, which was converted by James Moore into a Greek Revival structure with a classical temple front. Moore son-in-law, William Nash, inherited that house, and retained local architect William Allen to update it in 1888 to the Second Empire style. It is not known if any portion of the original Cape survived both transformations of the house. Of Allen's works (which are predominantly to be seen elsewhere in Cherryfield), it is the most elaborate known.
