About the Item

Circa 1920 original pastel on paper of a twilight view of New York City from the East River by George Gardner Symons.. Signed lower left. Condition is good. Minor loses; old tape verso. Signed verso as well. Framed in a vintage gold leaf frame. Artwork is under UV glass. Overall framed measurements are 15.25 by 12.5 inches. Provenance: New York collector. George Gardner Symons (1861-1930) George Gardner Symons was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1861, where he studied at the Art Institute and began a lifelong friendship with the artist William Wendt. With Wendt, Symons traveled to study and paint in Cornwall, England in 1898, and on that trip also studied in Paris, Munich, London, and St. Ives, where he adopted the plein air painting technique. Following a brief employment in commercial art, Symons moved to California with Wendt in 1903 and established a studio in Laguna Beach. Though active in California art circles, Symons always maintained his primary art studio in Brooklyn, New York. Painting out doors exclusively, Symons is best known for his expansive snowy landscapes painted in the Berkshire Mountains. George Gardner Symons died in Hillside, New Jersey, in 1930.
