About the Item
Johanna Secor (American, 1920-1998)
Waterfall, Late 20th Century
Oil on canvas
Framed: 35 3/8 x 29 1/8 x 1 7/8 in.
Signed and inscribed verso: Johanna Secor "Waterfall"
“Mrs. Secor’s organization of subject is a very personal one … charged with rhythm and vitality,” said Ruth Connery, instructor of “Techniques of Contemporary Arts” at the Westchester Art Workshop in White Plains, N.Y. “She draws on a rich subconscious to which the original idea is submitted, and results in an aesthetically beautiful tapestry of painting, rather dark in value, which serves to make her lighter colors glow with the intensity of jewels. In these paintings, Mrs. Secor has satisfied her own inner needs and has brought her vivid message across to the audience.”
Secor exhibited in more than 100 regional, invitational and national juried shows and has had 36 one-woman shows in Florida, North Carolina, New York and Connecticut. She also won 45 awards.
She graduated from Pratt Institute-School of Fine and Applied Arts in New York City and furthered her studies at Silvermine College of Norwalk, Connecticut, and the Art Barn of Mamaroneck, N.Y.
Secor is listed in Who’s Who of American Women, Who’s Who in the East, World Who’s Who of Women, the Dictionary of International Biography and the Registry of American Living Artists.
She was a member of the National Association of Women Artists in New York City and the National League of Pen Women. Locally, she founded and served as president of the Wellington Art Society.

- New England Country Side Covered Bridge Painting by Maine artist William FisherLocated in Larchmont, NYWilliam Fisher (American, 1891-1985) Untitled (Covered Bridge), 20th century Oil on canvas 24 x 30 in. Signed lower right: William Fisher William Fisher was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1891. He studied at the Brooklyn Institute of Art and Science and at Pratt Institute. Following service as an ambulance driver in WWI, he remained in Europe after the war and studied painting in Rome, Italy for one year. Upon his return from Rome, to New Jersey, he pursued his painting and began to teach small art classes. In the 1920's Fisher became a successful illustrator. His work appeared in Saturday Evening Post, Mc Calls, Harpers and other popular magazines. He later did pen and ink sketches for the "Villager," a weekly Greenwich Village newspaper. Microfilmed pages of the Villager are preserved in New York University's Washington Square Library. His sketches also appeared on the cover of the "Gotham Guide," which was sold Fridays at news stands in Manhattan. In partnership with Margaret Kilburn, an artist and crafts person, Fisher opened an art gallery and school at 33 West 8th St in NYC during the 1930's. They also opened a summer art gallery and school in 1949 in Kennebunkport, Maine, which ran for many years, and, after the NY gallery closed (around 1952), they made a full time commitment to living and working in Kennebunkport, Maine. Fisher was the recipient of over 100 awards. His work was widely exhibited in Philadelphia,Pa., Montclair, Trenton, and Newark, NJ, the Currier Gallery in New Hampshire and the Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk, Maine. William Fisher and Margaret Kilburn were familiar and beloved figures in Kennebunkport. They taught generations of local children, and they participated in numerous exhibits with other artists, both in the Kennebunkport area and throughout Maine. Mr Fisher always insisted on marching in the local Memorial Day parade, until he was well in his 90's, because he didn't want to ride in a car provided for older veterans. Many homes in the Kennebunks have his works, including members of the Bush family, and they were purchased by numerous out of state and Canadian summer visitors. There are several examples of his works in the Kennebunkport Town Offices and in local churches. Fisher loved to paint "big" canvases, usually local Maine scenes...Category
