Small Early 20th Century California Plein Air Pine Trees Landscape

1908

About the Item

Wonderful small-scale early 20th Century plein air landscape of pine trees on mountain crest. Signed and dated lower right corner "DAH 08" or "DRH 08." Condition: Good; linen relaid on pressed board. Presented in original gilt-toned wood frame with wear consistent with age. Image size: 8"H x 10"W. History of California Plein Air: "No modern art movement has been as influential as Impressionism. Since the French movement made its debut in the late 19th century, countless artists have found inspiration in the Impressionists' approach to painting. While its influence is famously evident in European genres like Post-Impressionism and Pointillism, it also sparked a smaller movement called California Impressionism. Artists working in this style embraced several key Impressionist interests, including loose brushwork, rich color, and, most of all, a fascination with the effects of sunlight. In order to master the Impressionists' treatment of light, this new wave of artists adopted an important habit: painting en plein air, or “in the open air.” Perfect for capturing the distinctive glow of the Golden State, plein air painting quickly became a defining feature of 20th-century California painting."

  • Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)
    By Jane Chapin
    Located in Cody, WY
    This is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...
