About the Item
A quintessential New England snow scene in the impressionist style. Snow scenes by this artist were considered to be some of his finest works. Framed in a valuable and high quality French gold leaf frame of age, the piece has lovely presence in a room. Snow scenes by this artist were often worked on for over 10 years before being finished. A native New Englander, he would often paint these when the snow was outside his studio window.
The painting itself inside the frame measures 17.5 x 21 inches and is done on masonite which is sort of board and this was the artist's preferred material. It is dated twice near the signature on the front.
Self-taught, Purdy was influenced by many artists, including the Barbizon School, French Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, and American 19th Century Painters. No particular artistic influence was evident during his childhood. After high school, he enlisted in the army air force and entered Germany as a foot soldier with the 9th army. After the war, Purdy pursued a degree in Psychology, graduating in 1949 from the University of Connecticut and from Boston University with his Master’s in Psychology in 1950. While in Boston, Purdy worked in an art gallery, performing tasks such as framing pictures. It was here that he first became art-conscious and was surprised to learn that individuals actually chose art as a profession.
Purdy lived and painted most of his life in New England. He exhibited extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe, including: The Britain Museum, Connecticut; The Butler Institute, Columbus, Ohio; Colby College, Maine; The University of Kansas; The Chrysler Collection; and Bernheim-Jeune Galleries, Paris. In addition, he has been honored with numerous awards including a Gold Medal from the Allied Artists. He was a teacher of painting at the Silvermine Academy of Art in Connecticut and is listed in Who’s Who in American Art.
