Country House in the Snow - Landscape

About the Item

High contrast landscape of a farm in winter by Dessie Wilcox (American, b. 1948). Signed and dated "Dessie Wilcox '94" in the lower right corner. Presented in a carved wood frame with a liner and Plexiglas. Image size: approx. 16"H x 24"W Dessie Wilcox (American, b. 1948) has been creating since she was three. The splendor of early childhood on a ranch in Hopland, California, and the wine country of Mendocino County, formed a natural backdrop for self-taught drawings and paintings. “Living in the country gives you a strong sense of contour, light, texture and form. It is easy for me to express what I see and how it makes me feel on paper and canvas. I live and breathe the ever-changing moods of the land and sky.” Dessie studied for several years at Laguna Beach School of Art and Design/LCAD. An accomplished horsewoman, Dessie is attracted to the peace and freedom of riding across the land and it is reflected in her artistic style. Passionate color displays, from stark contrasts to subtle images, are combined with free flowing style to express her view of the world. Heartfelt details fill Dessie’s landscapes, florals, figures and abstracts. She has concentrated on watercolors and acrylics for the past forty five years, however, other disciplines include oils, sculpting, drawing and photography. Her work is in many private and corporate collections.

Watercolor of the Oak Tree by Allen Tucker
By Allen Tucker
Located in Hudson, NY
Landscape watercolor by Allen Tucker of an oak tree. This piece, along with several others, was gifted to Una Brage, a friend of the artist in the 1930s. More about this artist: Allen Tucker, was an architect and painter so influenced by Vincent Van Gogh that he was called "Vincent in America". (Gerdts 291) Robert Henri and Maurice Prendergast were also credited as having an influence on Tucker's brushwork and compositions, the latter decisively. However, as his painting evolved, he did not fit into any tidy slot for description and was known as an individualist not easily categorized in American art history. Tucker was born in Brooklyn in 1866 and graduated from the School of Mines of Columbia University with a degree in architecture and took a job as an architectural draftsman in the architectural firm of McIvaine and Tucker, his fathers business. During that time, he studied painting at the Art Students League with Impressionist John H. Twachtman, but it was not until around 1904, when he was 38, that Tucker became a full-time painter, leaving architecture behind. Many of his early canvases were classically Impressionistic with poplar trees resembling those of Van Gogh and haystacks and corn shocks...
