Oliver Corbett
"Along the River" 20th Century American Colorful Oil Painting of Landscape Trees

Early 20th Century

About the Item

A wonderful depiction of a colorful landscape with puffed trees by the country side. For this beautiful depiction, we find distinct elements that are unique to the earlier works of Oliver J. Corbett. Among other things, this American artist was notable for his painting with the trends of the times. The result of the beautiful oil painting is one of provoking imagery and emotion, rather than painting his subject in a more technical way. With joyful colors, this piece is filled with bold brushstrokes and impressive marks. This painting is signed lower right and it comes housed in a beautiful wood frame ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso. Art measures 24 x 32 inches Framed measures 27.5 x 35.5 inches Oliver J. Corbett was born in Springfield Ohio in 1886. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and at the Philadelphia School of Industrial Arts. One of his mentors, John Eliot Jenkins had learned from the master, Claude Monet. Oliver was a painter and a muralist. He made his home in Springfield Mo in 1921 and had several “one-man” shows, including ones at the Springfield Art Museum. One of his paintings was presented to President Harry S. Truman during his visit to Springfield Mo in 1952. He was instrumental in the formation of the Ozarks Artists Association. He served as tutor, mentor and teacher to many artists in the area. He is best known for his oil paintings of the Ozarks landscapes; features often included trees, rivers, hillsides and barns. He captured the outdoors and woodlands with color and light. PROVENANCE: Estate of a Private collection Monrovia, California; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.

  • "Mountain Lake in Autumn" American Mid Century Oil Painting on Canvas Landscape
    Located in New York, NY
    A wonderful depiction of mountain lake landscape in the country side. For this beautiful depiction of the mountains, we find distinct elements that are unique to the earlier works of Marie Berger. Among other things, Marie Berger's art is notable for its surrealist elements. In Still Life with Figure in a Desert Landscape, for example, she combines the seemingly incongruous images of a foreground still life composition with the almost infinite lines of perspective of the desert environment. The final result is one of provoking imagery and emotion. With joyful colors, this piece is filled with bold brushstrokes and impressive marks. Comes housed in a gold tone wood frame decorated with finely carved botanical elements and it is ready to hang with wire on verso. Art measures 16 x 20 inches Framed measures 19 x 23 inches A native of Fort Worth, Marie Friedman Berger was born March 9, 1913, the daughter of Will and Minnie Cohen Friedman. She was a graduate of Central High School, now R. L. Paschal, and attended Washington University, St. Louis School of Art. Marie married Jack Henry Berger on June 21, 1939, in Dallas; a marriage that lasted nearly 61 years. Mr. Berger died in 2000. Marie was an internationally renowned artist. Her works have been published by the Metropolitan Art Gallery of New York and shown as one of America's only artists in Italian art galleries. She was a recipient of the annual Benedictine Art Award. For many years she worked along side her late husband operating the Fashion Furniture Gallery on Camp Bowie Blvd. Marie Berger was a longtime member of Beth-El Congregation and she was also a full member of the Texas Fine Arts Association (Regional Director) and the Texas Watercolor Society. Among the awards presented to her for her art were the Benedictine Award, New York, and the Texas Fine Arts Jurors Award. She also owned and managed the Marie Berger Gallery, Fort Worth, which promoted the works of many rising American and Mexican artists during the 1950's and 1960's. She studied at Texas Christian University, and then at the St. Louis School of Fine Art and at Washington University, Missouri, which was founded as the Saint Louis School and Museum of Fine Arts in 1879 as part of Washington University in St. Louis. Her most common media is the use of oil, acrylic, watercolor, etching, lithograph, collagraph. During her successful career, she exhibited internationally at such institutions as the Bateau Lavar Gallery, Rome, the Rassagna permanente d'arte contemporanea, Veterbo, Italy, the Laguna Gloria, Austin, Texas, the Oklahoma Art...
