Farm life was all I knew for the first 20 years of my life In painting these canvases I felt again the vastness of endless skies experienced again the penetrating cold of Nebraska winters lived again as farmers live in spirit I am very much a farmer Dale nichols Dale nichols was born in rural David City nebraska in 1904 His early life had a profound influence on his paintings which centered on the recreations of farm life He stated i feel that an artist paints best what he has been exposed to during his youth i think my memory paintings of my home state may be my only creations that i sign with full confidence The search for pure american art was growing and the public was interested in scenes of american life nichols emerged as an artist when regionalism and rural regionalism were growing as a collecting genre His paintings are classified as a succession from grant Wood Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry nichols studied in Chicago at the academy of fine arts and the art institute with Carl Wentz He became a successful illustrator watercolorist designer writer lecturer block printer and painter in the 1930s and 40s he created artwork for direct mail industrial advertising from 1942 1948 he succeeded grant Wood as art editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica During his career he had eighteen solo exhibitions and exhibited in more that eighty regional and national exhibitions in T hrough the C louds offered here nichols depicts a dramatic sky that seems to be ripping open to let light shine through a lone farmer stands admiring the view from the path between his house and his barn The sense of eeriness and quiet in T hrough the C louds is characteristic of nichols work it gives the painting a sense of otherworldliness barns and rolling hills dominate the landscape rather than skyscrapers and pavement nichols distinctive style has attracted collectors since the 1930s american collectors at that time looked to buy rural regionalist art to capture the disappearing idyllic agricultural lifestyle nichols work has been avidly collected in numerous public and private collections throughout the country including the metropolitan museum of art and the Smithsonian american art museum 26

William mason Brown is a second generation Hudson river School artist Early on in his career he did some portrait painting but mainly became known for his Hudson river landscapes after 1869 he became famous for his highly detailed still life paintings His still lifes reached a large audience through chromolithographic prints Brown was born in Troy new York in 1828 in upstate new York he studied with Thomas grinnell and portrait artist abel B moore in 1852 he moved with moore to newark new Jersey to complete an apprenticeship as a portraitist He was inspired by Thomas Cole and the artists of the Hudson river School it was around this time in the 1850s that Brown painted landscapes it was also around this time that Brown settled in Brooklyn new York in Brooklyn Brown studied with local artists and set up his own studio most of Brown s contemporaries living in Brooklyn were pre raphaelites This group of artists painted exacting landscapes with microscopic detail Brown applied this technique to his Hudson river landscapes This approach to painting easily transitioned into an aptitude for still lifes The present lot flowers and fruits of Summer is a masterwork by Brown The composition is filled with the fruits of summer cherries currants roses petunias and other delicate flowers and foliage The still life rests in a naturalistic background as if the overfilled basket had just been placed on the forest floor Everything is painted with rich detail under magnification the viewer can see the seeds and the veins in each small golden currant in the 1860s and 1870s Brown s still lifes were widely reproduced as chromolithographs These highly colored and often hand detailed prints were commonly hung in dining rooms during this period They were published by a variety of publishers who purchased image rights Currier and ives are among the most famous publishers who reproduced Brown s still lifes During his lifetime Brown exhibited at the national academy of Design for thirty one years Today his work is widely collected in public and private collections across the united States museums that hold examples of his work include The Corcoran gallery of art The Brooklyn museum of art The Cleveland museum of art and the pennsylvania academy of fine arts 52

Bradley Tomlin was born 1899 in Syracuse new York He died in 1953 in new York City abruptly culminating a career and a lifespan concurrent with the abstract Expressionist movement in the united States after graduating with a degree in painting from Syracuse university Tomlin moved to new York City There he worked as a magazine and commercial illustrator in 1923 he went to paris on a fellowship to study at the academie Colarossi and the academie de la grande Chaumiere in 1926 he had his first solo exhibition and in 1929 he sold a painting to the pennsylvania academy of fine arts his first sale to a museum During the depression from 1932 1941 Tomlin taught painting at Sarah lawrence College and other preparatory schools in new York During this period he was primarily painting in a cubist style moma s 1936 exhibition fantastic art Dada and Surrealism had a profound effect on Tomlin as it did on many other artists of the day Tomlin s work after this show became increasingly abstract and surrealist in 1945 Tomlin met adolph gottlieb and through him some of the leading abstract Expressionists including robert motherwell phillip guston and Jackson pollock at this point in Tomlin s career his work became assertively distinctive He stopped teaching in order to focus on his own painting He began to experiment with automatism using themes like calligraphy and typographic shapes in the 1940s and 50s his work was abstract but focused on geometry and order The present work number 2 was created in 1952 at a time when Tomlin had found his own artistic voice a year before his untimely death This work on wallpaper was probably a special commission for a patron at the Dalton School where Tomlin taught during the 1930s preserved intact and signed this work demonstrates Tomlin s interest in automatism repetition and abstraction in 2016 the Samuel Dorsky museum of art at SunY new paltz together with the Everson museum of art Syracuse new York organized the first retrospective and catalog of Tomlin s work since 1975 a review of the exhibition noted it is largely because Tomlin avoided the automatic action packed swagger of his compatriots that he s often denied true abstract Expressionist honors Others see through the unobtrusive quiet gracious demeanor of a gay man from the 1940s an artist who found it necessary to shun all bravado Some cite his early death and paucity of extant Expressionist works as reasons why he may never have fully realized his vision However setting these asides aside this retrospective provides a fresh view of Tomlin as an artist whose keen understanding of the structure of a new aesthetic enabled him to distill its visual and psychic energy He did this fully knowing himself acknowledging his voice and expressing it authentically in irrepressibly original ways 1 1 Joyce Beckenstein Bradley Walker Tomlin a retrospective in T he Brooklyn Rail Oct 4 2016 http brooklynrail org 2016 10 artseen bradley walker tomlin a retrospective 56

Early in his career William glackens was attracted to crowds at the seashore in numerous variations these beach scenes constitute a theme that absorbed him until the end of his life glackens first beach scenes are of Coney island an easy train ride from his home and studio in new York City in 1911 in Bellport long island the artist began to explore the subject in depth He spent the succeeding five summers there and from 1918 to 1919 and 1936 on the new England coast This body of work is acknowledged to be among his most distinctive achievements in 1919 the glackens family spent the summer at Eastern point in gloucester massachusetts and it is here that Bathers was painted The vibrant animation of glackens figures caught in informal poses is carried over directly from his drawings We know the mother combing her daughter s wet hair it might be our friends chatting under the umbrella near the water Their movements walking swimming stretching are specific gestures The figures are rapidly yet surely painted firmly fixed in space Their graceful contours give rhythm to the painting and are strengthened by the structural elements of the composition The curves of the shore are echoed in the curves of the umbrellas and the curved lines in the patterned fabric of the seated figure in the foreground These devices help move the viewer s eye across the scene This is further developed by glackens sophisticated use of color the dark blue bathing garments acknowledging his interest in the cool palette of manet root the foreground and then carefully accent the mid ground to define further the spatial composition glackens personal feeling for color and light has now becomes a fusion of the impressionism he knew by the example of his fellow americans Ernest lawson and maurice prendergast and the fauvism which he had seen in paris in the work of both alfred maurer and Henri matisse Broad brush strokes in the foreground become the smoother yet bold shapes and warmer tones of the rocks and finally the thinly brushed soft hues of the sky William glackens contributes his own sense of shapes and crisp sparkle to Bathers He focuses on the essential immediacy of his subject its incidental details and its humanity with a sophisticated gentleness and joyousness The viewer truly feels a part of the moment as albert C Barnes commented on these beach scenes He shows with detachment the essential picturesqueness and humanity of the events represented and his only comment upon life is that it is pleasant to live in a beautiful world 1 1albert C Barnes The art in painting merion pa The Barnes foundation press 1925 p 297 64

alfred Thompson Bricher was born in portsmouth new Hampshire and grew up in newburyport massachusetts During his 50 year career as an artist he became known for his luminist new England coastal seascapes He was highly successful during his lifetime and exhibited regularly at galleries and venues including the Boston athenaeum the Brooklyn art association the World s Columbian Exposition in Chicago and the american Watercolor Society at 21 years old and primarily self taught Bricher opened his first studio in newburyport after opening his studio and beginning his serious pursuit of an artistic career Bricher began to take sketching tours in new England By 1860 he had moved to Boston and opened a new studio there He visited mt Desert island maine with William Stanley Haseltine and traveled to long island new York the Catskills the White mountains and the Hudson river Bricher specialized in landscapes featuring placid inland bodies of water and picturesque scenes of the new England seaboard as a luminist painter he was predominantly interested in the pictorial effects of light and translucency it is always possible to ascertain specifics such as the time of day weather conditions and geography in his work yet his paintings manifest a spiritual quality that was an important component of Hudson river School Today Bricher is widely appreciated by art historians for his mastery of luminist realism The present canvas Figures by a V alley Stream A W inter Scene dates to an early period in Bricher s career in this work light is the primary subject The sun setting behind the mountains creates shadows on the snow and reflections on the ice Bricher successfully created a suffused warm glow in the sky and the atmosphere surrounding the scene in 1879 Bricher was elected an associate member of the national academy of Design His work was seen regularly in the annual exhibitions of both the academy and the american Watercolor Society Bricher also exhibited at the art institute of Chicago the Boston art Club and the gallery of James gill in Springfield massachusetts Today works by Bricher can found in the permanent collections of many of america s most prominent museums the metropolitan museum of art the Brooklyn museum of art the Smithsonian american art museum the White House The Wadsworth athenaeum and the pennsylvania academy of fine arts By the time he died in 1908 Bricher s career had spanned a period of momentous evolution in american art indeed from the era of the Hudson river School to the imminent appearance of color abstraction it is little wonder then that when Bricher died at new Dorp on September 30 1908 his obituary commented Bricher did not receive the notice in the press that the artist s ability and reputation deserved 70

James fairman was born in glasgow Scotland in 1826 at six years old his father died and his mother emigrated with her two sons to new York City James and his older brother both started drawing at an early age although James later went on to train as a craftsman at eighteen he started working as a bookbinder but he was still eager to become an artist He enrolled in evening courses at the american academy of Design in 1851 fairman traveled to England to visit the great Exhibition at the Crystal palace He was profoundly impressed by the English painting he saw there and later said it was a revelation to him for the next ten years fairman pursued a political career He started with active participation in the abolitionist movement and through that discovered his talent for public speaking He continued studies in latin and greek and pursued a political agenda driven by his religious morals as a politician he was successful in new York City defeating a coalition of anti Catholic and protestant groups that were trying to influence the school board He then tried to run for congress in his district but lost the election During the Civil War fairman quickly became a Colonel in the army a position he probably acquired through his political connections and prior militia experience after the war fairman turned his attentions to painting full time He set up a studio in new York City in 1863 and regularly exhibited at the national academy of Design and Society of painters in Watercolor He soon developed a reputation for being acerbic His works were often withdrawn from the academy possibly over disputes about how they were hung He argued against the academy in 1869 and suggested forming a new association By late 1871 he had left new York City in pursuit of commissions in Jerusalem and Europe for the next decade he spent time at a studio in Dusseldorf and studying painting in london and paris He regularly made return trips to new York City to exhibit and sell recent work fairman succeeded where other late 19th century artists struggled Towards the end of the 19th century the realist landscapes religious historical paintings and panoramic landscapes were considered out of style fairman toured new York and visited collectors of his work in the midwest giving lectures about his paintings and art in general He successfully created a market for his paintings where he sold directly to collectors who would not generally go to the academy unfortunately he never mended his ties with the academy and he fell out of favor in new York City His work was principally collected by amateur collectors in the united States and he did not receive serious critical attention until after his death He died in 1904 in Chicago Today his works are in numerous museums and private collections including the Hudson river museum and the Washington County museum of fine arts 1 1 gerald m ackerman american Orientalists paris aCr Edition 1994 pp 76 79 80

Shannon s is pleased to present for sale the following recently rediscovered painting by William Tolman Carlton This fresh to the market painting provides new insights into Carlton s work and 19th century american genre painting William Tolman Carlton was born in Boston and he grew up in Dorchester massachusetts There is little information known about his early life and education There are no records for his formal artistic training either although it is known that before 1840 he spent several years studying in italy germany and france By 1836 when he was just 20 years old he began exhibiting his paintings at the Boston athenaeum in Boston he also worked as a portrait painter and private art teacher Carlton spent some time in albany working as a portrait painter and returned to Boston in 1850 He worked with george Hollingsworth at the lowell institute teaching students to draw from living models Both artists Hollingsworth and Carlton taught at the school until it closed in 1878 The courses were free and provided some students their first lessons in art notable alums include alfred Thompson Bricher and Willard leroy metcalf in the 1850s Carlton exhibited several paintings at the free gallery of the new England art union in Boston a painting titled T he Y ankee Peddler was exhibited twice priced at 400 There are two known versions of this painting including the present newly discovered example and a smaller unsigned version at the Harvard art museums 1895 664 There is also a known pen and ink sketch at the mfa in Boston The peddler s Cart 66 498 Theodore Stebbins noted art historian and Curator of american art Emeritus of the Harvard art museums commented now knowing of your signed and dated picture lot 114 i would guess that yours is the art union work in the drawing as in the present lot the young woman shopping from the cart looks directly at the viewer in the Harvard painting she is instead looking down There are other more subtle differences between the two compositions in the present lot the lower right corner is much brighter the two figures are in sunlight instead of shadow and the central figure of the young girl is painted with more detail The artist changed the color of her shawl from pink to yellow and added golden embroidered details to her skirt likewise the silver wares appear to be painted with more detail as well The window frames of the cottage were changed to a white wash color making the crimson tapestry held by the woman at the door stand out against the plain background of the house These differences suggest that Carlton was working out the composition possibly using the drawing as an intermediary between the two paintings The subject T he Y ankee Peddler was a common theme for genre paintings in the mid nineteenth century Other artists notably asher B Durand and francis W Edmonds exhibited paintings of this topic at the national academy of Design in 1836 and 1844 respectively Viewers particularly wealthy new York businessmen would have recognized the characters and gestures from literature and anecdotes The two advertisements on the side of the cart Sands Sasaparilla and Dr Brandereth s Obstetrical pills refer to known medicinal scams of the period and at the window the viewer can read The Boston post as the farmer reaches for it from the child s hands 1 1 Hannah Blunt William Tolman Carlton in american paintings at Harvard Vol i edited by Theodore E Stebbins pp 113 115 90
