Mystery Artist
Untitled, c. 1929
Ink and pencil on paper
Sight: 17 x 13 1/2 in.
Framed: 22 x 19 3/8 x 1 in.
This illustration by an unidentified artist depicts a quintessential American archetype: the dreamer, the aspirational, the driven. A young man sits at his desk writing a list of resolutions with the date clearly marked behind him as January 1st, 1929. In the background, a fictional scene - a vision, if you will - appears of a tall mountain with a small figure climbing upwards. It is clear the figure has come a long way, but still has a long way to go.
The inclusion of Abraham Lincoln's portrait behind the young man marks the scene as representative of the American dream. 1929 was also the year Herbert Hoover took office. In fact, Hoover recalled that the only picture hung in his childhood home: An engraving of Abraham Lincoln. Hoover brought this engraving with him through his political career, and he eventually hung it in the White House. Hoover found solace in the Lincoln Study during his term, and ordered the staff to furnish the space with a chair and desk used by Lincoln himself. The symbolism in this illustration is incredibly well thought out.

Untitled, c. 1880

The following is from Peter Jung who credits "a friend named Jeff Gold on Long Island."
Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) was born in 1849 to one of the most prominent Jewish families in Philadelphia. Unlike most Jewish families of the time, his embraced and encouraged his artistic talent. In 1874, Hyneman followed his first cousin Moses Ezekiel, National Academy member, to Europe to study. They first went to Germany and then to France where Hyneman began eight years of study with Leon Bonnat, the French Master.
In Paris, the twenty-five year old Hyneman resided in a studio building at 75 Boulevard Clichy, with expatriates Frederic Arthur Bridgeman, Charles Sprague Pearce, Milne Ramsey, and Edwin Blashfield. Hyneman was clearly exposed to the works of these more experienced artists, as well as that of Walter Gay.
In 1879, one of Hyneman's genre paintings, entitled "Desdemona", was accepted into the Paris Salon.
