Rockwell Kent<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Rockwell Kent<\/strong> was born in Tarrytown, New York, the same year as fellow American artists George Bellows and Edward Hopper. Kent was of English descent. He lived much of his early life in and around New York City, where he attended the Horace Mann School. In his mid-40s he moved to an Adirondack farmstead that he called Asgaard<\/em> where he lived and painted until his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Kent died of a heart attack in 1971, The New York Times<\/em> described him as \"... a thoughtful, troublesome, profoundly independent, odd and kind man who made an imperishable contribution to the art of bookmaking in the United States. \"Retrospectives of the artist's paintings and drawings have been mounted, most recently by The Rooms in St. John's, Newfoundland, where the exhibition Pointed North: Rockwell Kent in Newfoundland and Labrador<\/em> was curated by Caroline Stone in the summer of 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other exhibitions include the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery and Owen D. Young Library at St. Lawrence University (Canton, New York) in the autumn of 2012; the Farnsworth Art Museum (Rockland, Maine) during the spring through autumn of 2012; the Bennington Museum in Vermont during the summer of 2012; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art<\/a> in the spring through summer of 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An exhibition marking the centennial of Kent's time in Winona, Minnesota, took place there in 2013. Kent's pen-and-ink drawings from Moby Dick<\/em> appear on a U.S. postage stamp issued as part of the 2001 commemorative panel celebrating such American illustrators as Maxfield Parrish<\/a>, Frederic Remington, and Norman Rockwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[justified_image_grid ng_gallery=155 load_more=click load_more_limit=15]\n","post_title":"Rockwell Kent Paintings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"rockwell-kent-paintings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-30 23:39:22","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-31 07:39:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/new.nocloo.com\/?p=52652","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52646,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-06-10 02:30:18","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-10 09:30:18","post_content":"\n
Andr\u00e9 Brasilier<\/strong> is a French painter and printmaker whose work is typified by a breezy lyricism, wherein real-life subjects are transposed into dreamlike settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brasilier\u2019s images portray a peaceful world, with delicate compositional and color harmonies bathed in soft, cool light. He takes significant aesthetic and philosophical inspiration from Japanese prints, with his paintings often featuring pastoral scenes, musical instruments, the sea, women, and horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born on October 29, 1929 in Saumur, France to an artistic family where both of his parents were painters, Brasilier attended the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts at the age of 20. He has had major retrospectives at both the State Hermitage Museum<\/a> in St. Petersburg and the Museum Haus Ludwig f\u00fcr Kunstausstellungen Saarlois in Germany. Brasilier continues to live in Paris, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[justified_image_grid ng_gallery=7 load_more=click load_more_limit=15]\n","post_title":"Andr\u00e9 Brasilier Paintings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"andre-brasilier-paintings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-30 23:39:39","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-31 07:39:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/new.nocloo.com\/?p=52646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52640,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-06-10 02:22:19","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-10 09:22:19","post_content":"\n
Julian Onderdonk was born in San Antonio, Texas, to Robert Jenkins Onderdonk, a painter, and Emily Gould Onderdonk. He was raised in South Texas and was an enthusiastic sketcher and painter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a teenager Onderdonk was influenced and received some training from the prominent Texas artist Verner Moore White who also lived in San Antonio at the time. He attended the West Texas Military Academy, now the Episcopal School of Texas, graduating in 1900. His grandfather Henry Onderdonk was the Headmaster of Saint James School in Maryland, from which Julian's father Robert graduated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 19, with the help of a generous neighbor, Julian left Texas in order to study with the renowned American Impressionist William Merritt Chase. Julian's father, Robert, had also once studied with Chase. Julian spent the summer of 1901 on Long Island at Chase's Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art. He studied with Chase for a couple of years and then moved to New York City to attempt to make a living as an en plein air artist. While in New York he met and married Gertrude Shipman and they soon had a son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Onderdonk returned to San Antonio in 1909, where he produced his best work. His most popular subjects were bluebonnet landscapes. Onderdonk died on October 27, 1922 in San Antonio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President George W. Bush decorated the Oval Office with three of Onderdonk's paintings. The Dallas Museum of Art<\/a> has several rooms dedicated exclusively to Onderdonk's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His art studio currently resides on the grounds of the Witte Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[justified_image_grid ng_gallery=92 load_more=click load_more_limit=15]\n","post_title":"Julian Onderdonk Paintings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"julian-onderdonk-paintings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-30 23:35:36","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-31 07:35:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/new.nocloo.com\/?p=52640","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
