Provenance
Collection privée
Les peintures très réalistes de William Acheff, qui représentent des objets historiques et ethniques du Sud-Ouest, sont empreintes de nostalgie et d'une qualité paisible et méditative. Lorsqu'il a dévoilé son travail lors d'une exposition personnelle en 1978, les qualités d'illusion hautement polies et la perfection réaliste ont immédiatement trouvé un cercle de collectionneurs amoureux de la peinture classique en trompe-l'œil.

Né en 1947 à Anchorage, en Alaska, Acheff est d'origine géorgienne, russe, écossaise, hollandaise et alaskienne-athabascane. Formé de manière classique à San Francisco, il s'est installé à Taos en 1973 et continue à peindre de cette manière distinctive et largement reconnue, mêlant souvent des artefacts et des traditions du passé à des objets et à des décors contemporains.

Tesque Jar évoque une jarre à corps d'argile (olla) du Pueblo de Tesuque, Tesugeh Owingeh ("Village de l'endroit étroit des arbres de coton"), situé dans le nord du Nouveau-Mexique. Leurs terres ancestrales couvrent la totalité de O'gah Po'oge (Santa Fe), et les poteries, dont la plupart datent de la fin du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle, sont très prisées par les collectionneurs.
