Gerald Peters Gallery: American Art 1850-1950

Gerald Peters Gallery presents American Art 1850-1950, an exhibition tracing the aesthetic development of the fine arts in the United States from the Hudson River School, the first self-conscious artistic movement to crystalize in the United States, through the end of American Modernism, when American art emerged as the leader in the global art world.

Thomas Anschutz, Near Cape May, 1894, watercolor on paper, 10 x 14 3/8 inches
This exhibition includes




John Frederick Kensett’s Lake George,

which gave visual form to the pervasive cultural ideals of Emersonian philosophy, and Albert Bierstadt’s Sunrise on the Platte (Scotts Bluff),
which provided a window onto the frontier as the concept of Manifest Destiny gained traction in the nineteenth century.

William Merritt Chase’s society portraits, represented by





Miss J (Content Aline Johnson),

documented the emergence of the robber barons, many of whom helped send the next generation of artists to Europe.

John Henry Twachtman and his contemporaries returned from abroad to translate the theories and techniques of Europe’s emerging avant garde into a new American idiom. Twachtman’s Barn in Winter and Thomas Wilmer Dewing’s Purple and Green are masterpieces of American Tonalism that introduced a level of abstraction into American art that developed in the twentieth century into several strains of American Modernism.

and Marsden Hartley’s Flowers in a Vase

are just two examples that show the energy, inquisitiveness, and innovation that pervaded American art in the first decades of the twentieth century and that sowed the seeds for the artistic revolution that made the United States the center of art at mid-century.
American Art (1850-1950) is the first historical exhibition that Gavin Spanierman has organized since joining Gerald Peters Gallery, New York, as Managing Director in 2014. It combines Spanierman Fine Art’s rich inventory of Hudson River School and American Impressionist works with Gerald Peters Gallery’s holdings of American Modernism. The exhibition draws on Gavin Spanierman’s vast knowledge of American art and his fierce commitment to promoting those works by the paragons of American Art history that continue to define our cultural and artistic heritage, and to fostering interest in works by lesser-known, but no less talented, artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
American Paintings 1850-1950 can be seen at Gerald Peters Gallery, 24 East 78th Street, New York, NY 10075, from October 10 through November 21, Monday through Friday, 10am-5pm, or Saturday noon to 5pm. A catalogue of the exhibition will be available for purchase at the gallery.

FREDERIC EDWIN CHURCH at AUCTION

Biography Frederic Edwin Church was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on May 4, 1826, the only son of a wealthy businessman. Although his father hoped he would become a physician or enter the world of business, Church persisted in his early desire to be a painter. In 1842-1843 he studied in Hartford with Alexander H. Emmons (1816-1879), a local landscape and portrait painter, and Benjamin H. Coe (1799-after 1883), a well-known drawing instructor. In 1844 Church's father, at last resigned to his son's choice of a career, arranged through his friend, the art patron Daniel Wadsworth, two years of study with Thomas Cole. Church was thus the first pupil accepted by America's leading landscape painter, a distinction that immediately gave him an advantage over other aspiring painters of his generation. From the first, Church showed a remarkable talent for drawing and a strong inclination to paint in a crisp, tightly focused style. In 1845 he made his...

Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude

23 October 2014 – 18 January 2015 The Courtauld Gallery is presenting the first major museum exhibition in over 20 years of one of the 20 th Century’s most exceptional artists, Egon Schiele (1890- 1918). A central figure of Viennese art in the turbulent years around the First World War, Schiele rose to prominence alongside his avant-garde contemporaries, such as Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka. He produced some of the most radical depictions of the human figure created in modern times, reinventing the subject for the 20 th Century. The exhibition charts Schiele’s short but transformative career  through one of his most important subjects – his extraordinary drawings and watercolours of male and female nudes. Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude concentrates on the artist’s drawings and watercolours. It brings together an outstanding selection of works that highlight Schiele’s technical virtuosity, highly original vision and uncompromising depiction of the naked figure. This sharply focu...
