James Jeffrey Grant
"Gloucester Harbor" - City scene background, Gloucester, Massachusetts

About the Item

This is a fantastic example of the artist's mature work. Great subject matter with bold brushwork and colorful paint application. The painting is bright and fresh and the original (and restored) frame compliments it perfectly. Painting size with frame is 23x21 Although a prominent member of the Chicago art community, James Jeffrey Grant found his favorite painting location in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The small fishing village and artist colony first drew the artist in 1931, and he continued to spend summers there over the next twenty years. Recording the daily activities of the fishermen and villagers with his oils and watercolors, Grant captured life as he experienced it. These works were exhibited each summer at the North Shore Art Association between the years of 1934 and 1956.

He was largely self-taught, having only studied briefly with William Merritt Chase in 1887, at the Art Students League. 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. The two men became lifelong friends and ultimately, both would be considered central figures among the New Hope Art Colony. Lathrop's early years as an artist were ones of continuing struggle. 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.
