Albert Van Nesse Greene was born in Jamaica, NY and moved to Philadelphia in 1917. He served during World War I and was severely injured during his deployment. In the 1920s he traveled to France and studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. He painted sailboats and harbors in Concarneau and became friends with other American painters such as, Edgar Payne. While abroad, Greene was greatly influenced by the work of Claude Monet and Edgar Degas. The French Impressionists influenced Greene's strong use of pastels; evident in the palette of his artwork. Albert Van Nesse Greene lived for his art and loved the Pennsylvania landscape. While studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, A.V. Greene excelled as a student under Daniel Garber and Hugh Breckenridge. He assisted Garber at the Yellow Springs Summer School and became a good friend of Newell Convers (N.C.) Wyeth. Greene would occasionally visit Garber in Lumberville, Pennsylvania and paint landscapes along the Delaware River in Bucks County. His paintings were exhibited extensively in the United States and France. Examples of his work can be found in the collections of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the National Gallery of Art among many others. He was a member of the Philadelphia Sketch Club, Society of Independent Artists, and the Yellow Springs Artists Association in Chester County. He exhibited with the Society of Washington Artists, the Pennsylvania Academy, and the Salons of America. His paintings were exhibited extensively in the United States and France.

  • At First Light: Two Centuries of Maine Artists, Their Homes and Studios
    By Rizzoli International Publications
    Located in New York, NY
    At First Light: Two Centuries of Maine Artists, Their Homes and Studios Author Anne Collins Goodyear and Frank H. Goodyear III and Michael K. Komanecky, Foreword by Stuart Kestenbaum, Photographs by Walter Smalling At First Light chronicles twenty-six extraordinary artists of the last two hundred years who have lived and worked in Maine. Published to coincide with the state's bicentennial in 2020, the volume considers the significant contributions artists have made to a deeper and more profound understanding of Maine's history, its land and its peoples. Maine's unique and breathtaking landscape--from its rugged coastline, quaint harbors, majestic mountains, and verdant forests--continues to have a powerful effect on the artists who are drawn to its shores. Written and expertly researched by some of the foremost scholars and curators in the field, each chapter focuses on a different artist, featuring the artists' artworks and anchored by breathtaking contemporary photography of their homes, studios, and surroundings. From picturesque bungalows to grander structures with beautiful vistas, the houses and studios featured are as diverse as the artists who have inhabited them. The artists featured include fan favorites to lesser known yet important figures from the eighteenth century to the present day, working in a range of media from painting to photography to sculpture, including: Jonathan Fisher, Winslow Homer, Frank Weston Benson, Charles Herbert Woodbury, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, Rockwell Kent, N. C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth, Marguerite and William Zorach, Rockwell Kent, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Eliot Porter, Fairfield Porter, Rudy Burckhardt, Yvonne Jacquette, Ashley Bryan...
