Description
An account of the resource
Motoichi "Roy" Kadowaki was a Japanese-American artist; four of his paintings are at the New Deal Gallery, Mt. Morris. What we know of him is that his vocation always had to be supported by a variety of service jobs deemed appropriate for Japanese in the early 20th century: cook, waiter, servant. Aside from his extant paintings there are glimpses of a creative, even whimsical vision. This drawing dates to 1926, when Kadowaki filed a patent for "Lighting Apparatus" using a presumably translucent celluloid cockatoo.
The description for Patent Application #1,616,579 reads: "In lighting apparatus, the combination of an electric lamp socket support and a lamp enclosing member consisting of a hollow translucent celluloid body of elongated form having a slit adjacent to one end and a hole communicating with said slit for engaging said socket support, and a weight positioned inside one end of said body."
