Gilbert Gaul
NJ Beach & Boardwark, Possibly Atlantic City

About the Item

A fine impressionist view of a New Jersey Beach, possibly Atlantic City, at the turn of the 20th century by American artist William Gilbert Gaul (1855–1919).Gaul was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. He attended Claverack Military Academy in New York state and later enrolled in the National Academy of Design (NYC) where his painting and drawing instructor was genre painter Lemuel Wilmarth. When Wilmarth left the Academy in 1875 to teach at the newly formed Art Students League of New York, Gaul followed, becoming one of the first students of that academy. He also studied privately with John George Brown, whose sentimental pictures of well-scrubbed shoeshine boys and cooing couples adorned many a Victorian parlor. Gaul first exhibited his work at the National Academy of Design in 1877. In the 1880s, he was among a group of eleven artists including Peter Moran, Julian Scott and Walter Shirlaw, who were commissioned by the Federal Government to illustrate the Eleventh Census of 1890. As part of this project Gaul did a portrait from life of Sitting Bull, in September 1890, a few months before the Sioux Indian leader died. Oil on panel, signed lower right, and housed in a fine molded giltwood frame. Dimensions: 12.5 in H x 17 in W, actual; 21.25 in H x 25.5 in W, framed.

  • Vendiendo Plátanos -Selling Bananas, Nahualá Guatemala, Oil , 18 x 12, Market
    Located in Houston, TX
    Vendiendo Platanos is a 18 x 12 oil on panel paininting by William Kalwick. This was done on site in Nahuala , Guatemala. A frame has been ordered for the painting. This Nahuala Coop, 100% women farmer produced washed Guatemala heirloom coffee features sweet, clean and bright aromas of hazelnut. The flavor is rich, with notes of chocolate, citrus and roasted nuts, finishing smooth and lingering. Nearly the entire population of the municipality is made up of ethnic K'iche' Maya who speak the K'iche' language. The population of the township is estimated to be between 50,000 and 85,000 individuals, about 10% of whom live in the head-town. Statistics vary widely because much of the township's territory and several large villages are also claimed by Nahualá' sister township, Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán. Kalwick’s paintings cover a wide range of subject matter. However, he is best known for his Guatemalan market scenes, Guatemalan figurative work, and portraits. Recent portrait commissions include Harold Hook, retiring CEO of American General Corp.; Reese Jones, international golf course designer; and Paul Merriman, retiring CEO of Hisco Corp. Kalwick was honored for the second time with a one-man show sponsored by the United States Embassy at the Museo Ixchel in Guatemala City. Southwest Art magazine featured Kalwick’s work on the cover and elaborated upon his style in an article titled “Guatemala Days.” He also was featured in Art of the West magazine . Kalwick’s portrait painting was featured in Southwest Art magazine . Kalwick has participated in many shows including the Masters of the American West at the Autry Museum in Los Angeles, California; the Prix de West...
