  • Bucolic Landscape by Bohemian Club Member
    By Rene Weaver
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    This oil painting depicts a country scene in the hills. It is by Rene Weaver (1897-1984). Based on where Rene Weaver worked and lived during his life, this painting was probably done plein air in California, Oregon or Idaho. (It looks very much like Pescadero CA). Weaver worked in both watercolor and oil paint. This painting is composed of oil on rough canvas or burlap. It measures 24 x 30 inches (28 x 34 inches framed). It is signed in the lower left. The painting is in very good condition. The vintage frame is painted a dull gold and is in good condition, with one small chip in the lower right inside corner and a few tiny areas where the dull gold finish has worn to brown. Rene Weaver was born in Pocatello, Idaho. After graduating from the University of Idaho, he studied figure and landscape painting with Emil Jacques in Portland, OR. Weaver moved to San Francisco in 1936 and worked and worked for Thompson Advertising Agency for 24 years. He had a painting studio at Sansome and Market streets in the Flatiron Building, and he taught classes in Asilomar and Pescadero, CA for young artists. He was a close friend of Maurice Logan and often accompanied him on painting excursions. Weaver was a member of numerous artists’ organizations including; Bohemian Club...

    By William Langson Lathrop
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    Signed lower right. Complemented by a period frame. William L. Lathrop (1859-1938) Deemed “Father of the New Hope Art Colony”, William Langson Lathrop was born in Warren, Illinois. He was largely self-taught, having only studied briefly with William Merritt Chase in 1887, at the Art Students League. Lathrop first moved east in the early 1880s, and took a job at the Photoengraving Company in New York City. While there, he befriended a fellow employee, Henry B. Snell. The two men became lifelong friends and ultimately, both would be considered central figures among the New Hope Art Colony. Lathrop's early years as an artist were ones of continuing struggle. His efforts to break through in the New York art scene seemed futile, so he scraped enough money together to travel to Europe with Henry Snell in1888. There he met and married an English girl, Annie Burt. Upon returning to New York, he tried his hand at etching, making tools from old saw blades...
