About the Item
This is a signed, original abstract landscape oil painting with white flowers (roses) in an Henri Matisse / Pablo Picasso aesthetic by listed WPA artist, G. Ralph Smith. It is in excellent condition, framed in a modern wooden frame measuring 29” x 23”, and ready to hang. The painting itself measures 24" x 18". It comes from the artist's estate with estate stamp on the back. Smith demonstrates a fine handling of paint in this work – make sure to look at detail photos to get a sense of his elegant, bold brushwork. It is a fine example of Cubism-inspired American Modernism, created in the tradition of Marsden Hartley, Georgia O’Keeffe, Oscar Bluemner, and Arthur Dove, in the vein of Pablo Picasso. Predominantly teal green blue with accents of gray, red, violet, and white.
G. Ralph Smith was a painter, illustrator and lithographer. He is perhaps best known for his regionalist lithographs from the 1930s and '40s, but devoted most of his life to producing oil paintings. Born in Circleville, OH, Smith graduated from the Columbus Art School in 1929 and went on to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In 1937, he was awarded the Cresson Traveling Fellowship, which allowed him to travel through Europe for several months pursuing his art. In 1939 he married fellow PAFA graduate, Elizabeth Brehm Matos and settled in the Germantown section of Philadelphia where he would remain for the rest of his life. In the late 1930’s Smith collaborated with the German lithographer Theodore Cuno, known for his work with Joseph Pennell and Benton Spruance. They produced a series of twelve lithographs that typify the spirit of Philadelphia Regionalism during the Great Depression. Many of Smith’s paintings were inspired by trips to Rockport, MA from the late 1940’s to the late 1960’s as well as to Southern Maine and the picturesque Manayunk and Wissahickon areas of Philadelphia. On these trips he crafted boldly colored seascapes and landscapes.
Smith’s work has been exhibited at numerous institutions and can be found in the permanent collections of the Columbus Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Woodmere Art Museum, and the National Gallery of Art.

- Pigeon Flight: abstract landscape painting w/ birds, architecture & orange skyBy Deirdre MurphyLocated in Bryn Mawr, PA"As an artist, my paintings, prints, sculpture and public art are made with the attentiveness of a scientist, observing our natural world beyond the visible surface. My interest lies in the interconnected qualities of art and science, specifically the micro / macro patterns that reveal our connectedness; be it migratory avian flight patterns shared commonality with immigration routes, or how light pollution maps mirror viral molecular patterns, or aerial views of watershed systems that reveal vascular patterns. Through the act of creating, I am aware of being both infinitesimally minute and integrally part of a larger whole. It is this dichotomy and the vastness of these images that provides perspective to our humanity." - Deirdre Murphy...Category
