MABEL DWIGHT 


Biography

Mabel Dwight was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. She received her formal art education at the Hopkins School of Art in San Francisco. Although initially trained as a painter, she learned lithography while in Paris in 1927, and the balance of her career was devoted to printmaking. During the late 1930s, Dwight participated in the Federal Arts Project in New York City. Throughout her career she exhibited regularly, and her prints were actively collected by public art museums and private collectors.

Commonplace activities or views of daily life often provide the subject matter for Dwight's prints. A characteristic example is the lithograph Farm Yard, which dates from 1947, late in her career. It is a modest scene, showing a woman feeding ducks, geese, and chickens in the farmyard. The buildings have the quality of doll houses; tightly packed, they provide a backdrop for the woman and her flock. This quiet domestic scene is rendered with soft strokes of the lithographic crayon, in a style similar to that of regionalist artists such as Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, and John Steuart Curry. Dwight's other works often display a humorous or satirical approach, about which she wrote an essay, "Satire in Art," published in 1936.

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...

THOMAS HART BENTON at Auction III - Christie's, Doyle, Bonhams

Biography - Questroyal Fine Art, LLC, New York, New York By Amy Spencer Benton’s paintings were widely loved for their reassuring images of the American heartland during two World Wars and the Great Depression. I. Biography  Thomas Hart Benton is best known for his patriotic murals that heroically depict American life during the first half of the 20th century. Born into a prominent Mid-western family of politicians, Benton grew up moving between rural Missouri and the political arena of Washington D.C.. Rejecting his grooming as a future politician, Benton developed an interest in art at an early age. Despite this rebellion, over the course of Benton’s painting career, his outspoken comments, nationalistic views, and socially charged images, marked him as a politician’s son. At the peak of his career in the 1930s, Benton was a key member of the Regionalist movement along with fellow Midwestern artists, Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry. Thomas Hart Benton was born in ...
