Virginia Tillou Art
American, 1906-1995
Virginia Tillou (nee Eller) was born in Centerville, Pennsylvania and was raised in Buffalo. In the late 1920s she studied at the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy and the Provincetown Summer School of Art in Massachusetts. Her teachers included Edwin Dickinson, Dr. William
Hekking, and Seymour Drumlevitch.
She formed a loose artistic association with a Buffalo-based group who called themselves the Oakland Artists. The group included Charlotte Albright, Grace McKendry, Nancy Jewett, and Elizabeth Tower.
Tillou exhibited several times at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and in 1985 was honored with a one-woman show at the Burchfield Art Center (now the Burchfield-Penney Art Center).

Trees at Bloom
By Clarence Holbrook Carter
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Trees at Bloom, 1939, oil on canvas, 32 x 24 inches, signed lower right
About the Painting
Trees at Bloom was painted when Clarence Holbrook Carter lived in Pittsburgh and served as an instructor in the Department of Painting and Design at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon University), a position he held from 1938 through 1944. It depicts a thick forest at the base of distance hills just outside the city. During his tenure in Pittsburgh, Carter was deeply influenced by not only the industrial might of the steel mills and iron forges of the city, but also the beauty of the surrounding landscape. As Frank Anderson Trapp noted in his book on the artist, for Carter “the terrain itself had its own special vitality, with its craggy, wooded hills threaded with ravine and watercourses . . . . the signs of industrial blight that were unalleviated in some parts of the country were there relieved by the geological variety of the parent landscape, and by the irrepressible presence of its natural growth, which softened the whole.” Trapp continues, “in his scenes of rural situations, Carter had a special gift for rendering those elements convincingly.” With the profusion of flowering trees which diffuse the light and the red cardinals darting from one branch to another, Trees at Bloom portrays the “irrepressible presence of nature” that Trapp describes.
About the Artist
Together with Charles Burchfield, Clarence Holbrook Carter was Ohio’s premiere American Scene painter and later an innovative magic realist. The son of a no-nonsense public-school administrator, Carter was born in 1904 outside of Portsmouth, Ohio, a small town in the heart of the Ohio River...
