About the Item

Mix Media by Will Henry Stevens (1881-1949) measuring 16"h x 20"w. The subject is an Abstract Forest. The work is signed lower left “Stevens.” It's in excellent condition and presents in a lovely gold leaf frame measuring 24"h x 28"w. During his career, Stevens captured the spirit of the Southern landscape from the highlands of Appalachia to the lowlands and deltas of Louisiana. His faithful commune with nature began in early boyhood and lasted his entire life, providing the inspiration for thousands of exquisite paintings. Proficient in a variety of media, Stevens poetic vision is reflected in oil, tempera, watercolor and pastels that he crafted by hand. His quiet intelligence, keen vision, modernist disposition and technical mastery are seen throughout his body of work. Stevens drew and painted simultaneously in two styles -- one abstract, influenced by Klee and Kandinsky, and the other a lyrical body of work that is more traditional. He was a pioneer of modernism in the American South, and his representational work and objective abstractions reflect his deep love of nature, particularly the bayou and mountains. The geometry he found in nature was easily translated by him into non-objective abstractions as well. Stevens was born in Vevay, Indiana in 1881. As a young painter he studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy and the Art Students League in New York City. While living briefly in New York, he had several one-man shows at the New Gallery where he was befriended by such artists as Albert Pinkam Ryder. In 1921 Stevens moved to New Orleans, where he became a professor of art at Sophie Newcomb College, now part of Tulane University. He traveled to the mountains in the summers, where he painted primarily in east Tennessee and western North Carolina. Stevens died in 1949 after retiring and moving back to Vevay. The work of Will Henry Stevens is represented in major museum collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, DC), Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, MA), Ogden Museum of Southern Art (New Orleans, LA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Louisiana Arts and Science Center (Baton Rouge), Greenville County Museum of Art (SC), Hunter Museum of American Art (Chattanooga, TN) and Morris Museum of Art (Augusta, GA).

Robert McChesney Watercolor Titled "Investigators"

By Robert McChesney 1

Located in Phoenix, AZ

Impressive watercolor by California Abstract Impressionist, Robert McChesney (1913-2008). The painting is in excellent condition and measures 21 x 15 inches. The frame is 31 x 24. A label is seen on the verso with the title: "Investigators," and "From the Okinawa Series #47." Signed lower right. McChesney was a wonderful painter and this work is from his best period in my opinion. Post-War California artist, Robert Pearson McChesney became an Abstract Expressionist painter, assemblage artist, printmaker, sculptor and teacher. He was born in Marshall, Missouri, and with the exception of a year in Mexico, 1951, and World War II military service aboard a ship, he spent his career in California where he moved in 1936. He lived and had his studio north of San Francisco in Petaluma, atop Sonoma Mountain...
