Edvard Diriks
Autumn evening by the coast " Aftonsol ved kysten"

About the Item

Edvard Diriks was an older cousin of Edvard Munch. Unlike Munch who was a true expressionist, he was more inspired by the french impressionists like Renoir and Monet. Later on he developed his own Avantgarde style that made him som popular in Paris. This painting is inspired by the character Madame Bovary in Flauberts famous novel. The French sculptor Antoine Bourdelle stated in 1920 that Diriks' art showed so much Frenchness and gave him the name The Norwegian Frenchman. Dirik's work attracted international attention, especially in France and at . Few Norwegian artists have had the same kind of success in Paris as Edvard Diriks. Diriks got nicknames such as “the Scandinavian giant” and “painter of winds” and was perceived as a modern Viking – rough, energetic, primitive and original. Diriks was more interested in light, air and movement in his motifs, and less in the rendering of details. In 1907 he received the Légion d'honneur (Legion of Honour), an event marked by a banquet in Diriks' honor, hosted by a group of friends that included Auguste Rodin, Antoine Bourdelle, Paul Fort, Gustave Kahn, Emile Verhaeren, the Leblond cousins and Stuart Merril. He is represented at, among others, the National Museum in Oslo, the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, Musées des Beaux-Arts de Dunkerques, Musée Léon Dierx.

    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.

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.

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...
