About the Item

A stroll down 5th Avenue along New York's Central Park is captured by Clyde Singer in this gem of a painting. Singer paints a moment of bustling life as a group of women cross paths with New Yorkers near the city's famous park. An accomplished American Scene painter, Singer successfully captured everyday life during his long career. It is executed in oil paint on an art panel and presented in a wood frame. Painted in a low impasto style with loose brush strokes and an appealing soft palette. Signed lower left by the artist and en verso signed, titled, and dated 1970. Framed Dimensions: 11 H x 16 W Inches Visible Image Dimensions: 7.5 H x 13.5 W Inches Born in Malvern, Ohio, forty miles south of Akron, Clyde Singer became known for his regionalist paintings in oil and watercolor of everyday landscapes and people. In 1933, he was awarded a scholarship to the Art Students League in New York. It was during the Depression, and he lived a Spartan existence. His teachers included John Steuart Curry, Thomas Hart Benton, Kenneth Hayes Miller, and Ivan Olinsky. Adopting the Social Realist style, he tried to paint in the same locations as George Bellows and John Sloan, and he painted many scenes of the interior of McSorley's famous saloon that Sloan had depicted. He had a long history with the Butler Institute in Youngstown, OH.
