About the Item
Note: Housed in its original Harer frame
"Water and Ice" by Paul Bernard King is one of the finest tonalist pieces we have ever seen. Just as a reminder: Whistler was a tonalist painter. Tonalism has been called by some art historians the first truly indigenous American art form.
Versatility, artistic maturity and mastery of technique and medium are hallmarks of Paul King's (1867-1947) tonalist-impressionist art during the first quarter of the 20th century. A member of the National Academy, King exhibited regularly at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Salmagundi Club. He won numerous awards. His work is in the collection of the Albright-Knox Gallery, Buffalo; Butler Art Institute, Youngstown, Ohio; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Reading Museum, Pennsylvania; Los Angeles Museum; Houston Art Museum, among others.
Additionally, this work is housed in its original Harer frame. Frederick Harer was a leading frame maker, particularly for the Pennsylvania Impressionists. His frames are rare and are collectible objects in and of themselves. They add significantly to the value of the painting.
