About the Item
Clyde Singer captures the moment when two friends open a letter with shocking news. A master of capturing the small and significant moments of everyday life, Singer realistically portrays the shared bond and reaction between two friends.
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 Steuert 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.
Presented in an ornate gilt frame with a brass name plate, this little gem of a painting measures 17 x 15 inches in total. The image is on a 12 x 10-inch canvas.
