Laura Mann
Laura Mann, "Swimming Hole", 7x5 Summer Stream Waterfall Landscape Oil Painting

About the Item

Highlighting the rural beauty and solitude of life in the farm country, Laura Mann's paintings have a timeless and atmospheric quality that call for reminiscence. Her painting, "Swimming Hole", is a 7x5 oil painting on board featuring a woodland stream flowing swiftly over a rocky ledge under a canopy of foliage. Cool shade from a hot summer day makes this the perfect place to take a refreshing dip. Mann's paintings have a way of placing the viewer inside of her tiny illustrated world, giving a look at a bucolic country life. About the artist: Laura Mann has been living and painting in Las Vegas, Nevada for many years, Her poetic landscapes in oil are more universal than regional although her birth place in the woodlands of Washington and years of living in the desert area, have shaped the images she portrays. Her final paintings are a very personal statement of her inner view of nature which she sees with the insight, refreshing innocence and total reverence of the landscape. Almost from the beginning of her career, her works have been eagerly collected. She has sold literally hundreds of paintings. Laura is represented in several permanent collections and many private ones throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. She is prolific, with the rare ability to be understood by the lay person while maintaining the highest standards of artistic integrity. Her art work is shown in many galleries throughout the United States. Laura has received many awards for her fine paintings and devotes her time to teaching when time permits.

  • Dans le parc en automne, Paris (In the Park in Autumn, Paris)
    By Jean Francois Raffaëlli
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    This thoroughly modern Parisian scene was composed by the celebrated French painter Jean François Raffaëlli. The delicate oil captures a familiar subject from late 19th-century life in the city: a busy avenue at the edge of a park on a cool autumn day. Exploring the climate of the city, Raffaëlli's mature works capture the energy of the grand parks and boulevards of the new Paris that emerged at the turn of the century. His legacy documents the realities of urban life during his age, all chronicled in his distinctive brushwork and sophisticated palette. While Raffaëlli was never fully accepted as a member of the Impressionist group, his works display a similar affinity for capturing the transient moments of modern life. His figures exude a sense of being suspended in time, as though they are part of some subtle narrative that is both restless and harmonious. Perhaps more aligned with Naturalism than Impressionism, the visual effect of Raffaëlli's composition is one of carefully composed spontaneity that makes manifest the joie de vivre of the age. Raffaëlli was not the only artist of his era to devote his canvases to the urban landscape. Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, Gustave Caillebotte and others composed significant works on the subject of the urban milieu. On the whole, it was an entirely new kind of painting, and it was largely influenced by the work of social engineer Baron Haussmann beginning in the 1850s. At the request of Emperor Napoleon III, Haussmann designed and carried out a large-scale urban renewal program, erecting landmarks and tree-lined thoroughfares throughout the city to create a unified and socially-centered urban aesthetic. The city became a glittering stage for modern advancements and bourgeois pleasure, which paved the way for a new kind of subject that was eagerly adopted by the Impressionists and artistic avant-garde. Born in Paris in 1850, Raffaëlli first studied theater and music before turning to painting in 1870. That same year, he submitted a landscape painting to the Salon and was accepted. Aside from just three months studying with the Academic great Jean-Léon Gérôme, Raffaëlli was self-trained, developing his own unique style that brought together Realism, Naturalism and Impressionism. While he managed to exhibit works at both the Salon and the Impressionist exhibitions...

  • "Under the Large Striped Umbrella on a Foggy Day"
    By Martha Walter
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    Jim’s of Lambertville Fine Art Gallery is proud to offer this piece by Martha Walter (1875 - 1976). Born in Philadelphia in 1875, Martha Walter attended Girls’ High School followed by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. It was at the Academy that Walter’s artistic talent was discovered. An admiring instructor by the name of William Merritt Chase took young Martha under his wing, giving her both inspiration and direction. She additionally enrolled with Chase at his summer school in Shinnecock, Long Island and in 1903, was awarded the Cresson Traveling Scholarship by the Pennsylvania Academy. This sent Martha Walter on travels to France, Italy, Spain, and Holland, where she attended the Grand Chaumiere and the Academie Julian in Paris. Afterwards, she established a studio on the Rue De Bagneaux in France with several other American women artists...
