Painted circa 1910 it is a still life of salmon and rainbow trout with all their beautiful markings. The fish are arranged on a marble table with a wicker creel and fishing rod behind them. Beyond them through the window a river gorge can be seen where they were no doubt caught. A well composed oil painting with lots of angling interest and detail and an excellent example of Knight's work. Provenance: Bristol estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 36 inches by 28 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a fine period frame, 44 inches by 36 inches and in good condition. Rowland Knight (1879-1921) was a British artist born in the 19th century. He specialised in painting fish and angling paraphernalia and was one of the leading fish artists of his day. His fish were often jumping out of the water or arranged in a group with sporting equipment beside them. He painted mostly in oils and in a realist manner. He died in 1921.

    Aaron Bohrod Faun and Fawn, 1984 Signed lower right Oil on gesso board 16 x 12 inches Aaron Bohrod's work has not been limited to one style or medium. Initially recognized as a regionalist painter of American scenes, particularly of his native Chicago, Bohrod later devoted himself to detailed still-life paintings rendered in the trompe l'oeil style. He also worked for several years in ceramics and wrote a book on pottery. Born in 1907, Bohrod began his studies at Chicago's Crane Junior College in 1925, and two years later enrolled in the Art Institute of Chicago. But it was at the Art Students League in New York City, from 1930 to 1932, that he studied under the man believed to be his most significant early influence, John Sloan. Sloan's romantic realism is reflected in the many depictions of Chicago life, which comprised most of Bohrod's early work. Under Sloan's tutelage, Bohrod came to subscribe to the belief that painters should find the subjects of their art in the immediate world around them. These paintings emphasized architecture unique to north Chicago and featured Chicagoans engaged in such everyday activities as working, playing or going to the theatre. The romantic aspect was conveyed by the use of misty colors, and the realism by attention to detail. In 1936, Bohrod won the Guggenheim Fellowship award in creative painting...
