About the Item

Large Watercolour of Pleasure Boats Moored on the River in Florida by USA Artist David Coolidge AWS (American 20th-21st Century) Art measures 40 x 30 inches Frame measures 54 x 44 inches (approximately) Entitled "Pleasure Boats Moored on the River". Original Watercolour, Signed bottom right, framed behind museum glass with a double mount in the highest quality grey wooden moulding. Originally from the Midwest, Coolidge graduated from Drake University, then lived in the Philadelphia area for twenty years. He later attended The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Temple University’s Tyler School of Art in Rome, Italy. His continuing fascination for the colourful, bright images and lush foliage that watercolour creates inspires him. David has earned a reputation with collectors for paintings that recall an uncluttered “simplicity of former times.” Extensive travel is evident in Coolidge’s paintings. “When viewers associate a scene from a painting with a fond memory of a place that they have known, or with thoughts of a place they would like to go, I feel I’ve been successful,” he says. David has been selected to exhibit at the National Academy of Design in New York; Artists of America in Denver; and national Arts for the Parks in Jackson, Wyoming, where he won recognition for his painting “Lookout from Little Round Top” and received the Centennial Purchase Award from the Gettysburg National Military Park.

TOBACCO ROAD Mid 20th Century Realism 1940 Drawing from the Novel WPA Literary 3
By David Fredenthal
Located in New York, NY
TOBACCO ROAD Mid 20th Century Realism 1940 Drawing from the Novel WPA Literary 3 10 1/2 x 6 (sight), Signed David Fredenthal lower right. Framed by Lowy. Offered here is one of several original drawings by WPA artist David Fredenthal that were first published in the 1940 illustrated edition of the novel TOBACCO ROAD by Erskine Caldwell. Background on the Drawing Erskine Caldwell remarked, on seeing the work of David Fredenthal, 26-year-old painter: "That boy could draw my Tobacco Road people." A casual comment, it was enormously productive. The young painter was just finishing a two-year Guggenhcim Fellowship, preceded by a year's study in Paris, two one-man shows at New York's Downtown Gallery, and a fellowship at the Cranbrook Academy near Detroit. He was out in Colorado Springs when he heard what Caldwell had said about him. Fredenthal hadn't read Tobacco Road. He had not even seen the play - now breaking all records in its seventh year on Broadway. But he swapped a portrait for a second-hand Ford and headed East. In New York he learned that Dnell, Sloan & Pearce were bringing out a deluxe edition of Tobacco Road. But he had no entrée to the publishers, and Caldwell, to his disappointment, was out of town. So he drove on to Georgia to have a look at the Tobacco Road people. He found Dr. I. C. Caldwell, the author's father, in Wrens, Ga., going on his ministerial rounds among people like the Lesters. Fredenthal got a room from a couple who ran a 1-pump filling station...
