About the Item
This is a signed, original abstract landscape oil painting with white flowers (roses) in an Henri Matisse / Pablo Picasso aesthetic by listed WPA artist, G. Ralph Smith. It is in excellent condition, framed in a modern wooden frame measuring 29” x 23”, and ready to hang. The painting itself measures 24" x 18". It comes from the artist's estate with estate stamp on the back. Smith demonstrates a fine handling of paint in this work – make sure to look at detail photos to get a sense of his elegant, bold brushwork. It is a fine example of Cubism-inspired American Modernism, created in the tradition of Marsden Hartley, Georgia O’Keeffe, Oscar Bluemner, and Arthur Dove, in the vein of Pablo Picasso. Predominantly teal green blue with accents of gray, red, violet, and white.
G. Ralph Smith was a painter, illustrator and lithographer. He is perhaps best known for his regionalist lithographs from the 1930s and '40s, but devoted most of his life to producing oil paintings. Born in Circleville, OH, Smith graduated from the Columbus Art School in 1929 and went on to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In 1937, he was awarded the Cresson Traveling Fellowship, which allowed him to travel through Europe for several months pursuing his art. In 1939 he married fellow PAFA graduate, Elizabeth Brehm Matos and settled in the Germantown section of Philadelphia where he would remain for the rest of his life. In the late 1930’s Smith collaborated with the German lithographer Theodore Cuno, known for his work with Joseph Pennell and Benton Spruance. They produced a series of twelve lithographs that typify the spirit of Philadelphia Regionalism during the Great Depression. Many of Smith’s paintings were inspired by trips to Rockport, MA from the late 1940’s to the late 1960’s as well as to Southern Maine and the picturesque Manayunk and Wissahickon areas of Philadelphia. On these trips he crafted boldly colored seascapes and landscapes.
Smith’s work has been exhibited at numerous institutions and can be found in the permanent collections of the Columbus Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Woodmere Art Museum, and the National Gallery of Art.

- Pigeon Flight: abstract landscape painting w/ birds, architecture & orange skyBy Deirdre MurphyLocated in Bryn Mawr, PA"As an artist, my paintings, prints, sculpture and public art are made with the attentiveness of a scientist, observing our natural world beyond the visible surface. My interest lies in the interconnected qualities of art and science, specifically the micro / macro patterns that reveal our connectedness; be it migratory avian flight patterns shared commonality with immigration routes, or how light pollution maps mirror viral molecular patterns, or aerial views of watershed systems that reveal vascular patterns. Through the act of creating, I am aware of being both infinitesimally minute and integrally part of a larger whole. It is this dichotomy and the vastness of these images that provides perspective to our humanity." - Deirdre Murphy...Category

- Nocturno I: contemporary abstract still-life landscape painting w/ plantsBy Henry BermudezLocated in Bryn Mawr, PAThis is a brightly colored mixed media landscape / still-life painting in oil and reflective glitter on canvas. It depicts organic, surrealist plant forms in blue and green against a glittering violet background. It has surrealism tendencies in the style of Salvador Dali. Henry Bermudez is a seasoned Latino contemporary artist born in Venezuela and based in the US. Emerged from the Caribbean tropics, his artistic life has been an unexpected hybrid of ideas informed by an acute sensitivity to the past, stenciled as part of a personal inventory onto different foreign places that throughout his life have become his home and his artistic working territory. "My paintings are steeped in mythical dream imagery within an otherworldliness of carefully constructed creature and plant forms. Further defined by my identity as a Latino, my work combines symbols and myth from ancient pre-Hispanic cultures with the iconography of contemporary art. The result of this autobiographical vision is a blend of cultural diversities that further defines itself through my immersion in societies other than the one I was born into. Through my exposure to religious and social syncretism, my visual itinerary became charged with powerful influences which provided a unique vision of the African Diaspora in the Americas, its symbolism, and iconography." - Henry Bermudez Bermudez’s journey of unique geographical, artistic and human observation has taken him from educational experiences in small isolated communities in the Caribbean up to representing Venezuela in the Venice Biennial. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PA); Neuberger Museum of Art (Purchase, NY); Modern Art Museum of Mexico (Mexico City); Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin); Venezuela National Gallery (Caracas); Museum of Contemporary Art (Maracay, Merida, Maracaibo, Caracas); Modern Art Museum of Costa Rica; Museum of Art a Ralli @Punta Del Este Uruguay; and many private collections across the globe. Since his arrival in the USA in 2003, Bermudez has been commissioned by the Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia on several major projects. In 2011, he was one of a handful of artists chosen to work with the Philagrafika print collaborative founded by artistic director and curator Jose Roca. In 2012 Mr. Bermudez received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. He was elected to present an installation at The Philadelphia International Airport Art...Category
