Harry A Vincent"Menton" - Landscape, Impressionism, France Landscape, Cape Ann School Artist
About the Item
Harry A. Vincent (1861-1931) was a self-taught American artist celebrated for his contributions to the world of plein air landscape painting. Born in Chicago, his journey as an artist began in an unexpected place - as a scenic painter for theaters. His early career involved creating intricate backdrops for the stage, but it was his transition to capturing the natural world that marked his artistic legacy.
Vincent's signature style centered on portraying serene marine scenes, often bathed in the soft light of dawn or dusk. His favored subjects included boats and the bustling fishing activities of New England, particularly the picturesque Cape Ann, and the coastal landscapes of France, with a focus on Menton.
In his works, Vincent skillfully harnessed the interplay of water, sky, light, and color, aligning his oeuvre with the tenets of American Impressionism. His proficiency extended beyond oil painting, as he demonstrated equal mastery in watercolor and charcoal drawing.
As his career advanced, Vincent transitioned from the bustling theater scene in Chicago to the vibrant New York City art community in the late 1890s. There, his talent gained increasing recognition, earning him several prestigious awards, including the Shaw Prize, Turnbull Prize, Porter Prize, and the Samuel Twybill Shaw Prize for his outstanding contributions to watercolor art.
In the later chapters of his life, Vincent chose to make Rockport, Massachusetts his home, residing on Atlantic Avenue with a stunning view of the inner harbor. This coastal setting greatly influenced his art, which continued to capture the essence of the sea and the local landscapes. He became a respected figure in the Rockport Art Association, playing an instrumental role in its foundation and serving as its first President. Additionally, he maintained ties with the North Shore Art Association.
While Vincent's art often celebrated the charm of seaside locales, he also turned his artistic eye to scenes from his travels across Europe, including England, Italy (Venice and Chioggia), and France (St. Tropez and Menton). His series of paintings from Brittany depicted the enchanting fishing village of Concarneau.
Harry A. Vincent's life and art demonstrate a passionate commitment to the beauty of the natural world, as well as a remarkable journey from the theater to the canvas, solidifying his place among the celebrated artists of his time.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike...Category
