About the Item

"Edna Gass" on Verso American Impressionist Artist New Hope School Edna Gass was a distinguished American Impressionist artist best known for her evocative figural works and her association with the New Hope Art Colony in Pennsylvania during the 1940s. A Philadelphia native, Gass developed a unique artistic voice within the New Hope School, a movement celebrated for its vibrant depictions of local landscapes and expressive, light-filled compositions. Her work is often described as “diminutive Impressionism,” capturing intimate moments with broad, spontaneous brushstrokes and a masterful use of color and light. In addition to traditional painting, Gass explored innovative techniques such as monotype printing—creating one-of-a-kind images by painting on a polished plate and transferring the design to paper. This process added a distinctive texture and depth to her art. Gass’s legacy continues to resonate through her contributions to American Impressionism and her role in shaping the artistic identity of the New Hope School. The New Hope School of Pennsylvania Impressionists is an artistic movement that flourished in the early 20th century in New Hope, Pennsylvania, and was known for its depictions of the local landscape and figurative paintings in the Impressionist style. The painting showcases a focus on capturing light and color, characteristic of Impressionism. The figures are depicted with broad brushstrokes, suggesting a spontaneous and expressive approach, while the landscape provides a vibrant backdrop

By George M. Bruestle
Located in Soquel, CA
Gorgeous early 20th Century American Impressionist landscape of Connecticut red house by George M. Bruestle (American, 1871 - 1939), November 1914. Signed lower left and on verso. Dated on verso. Presented in gilt-toned wood frame. Image size: 8"H x 10"W. George Matthew Bruestle is an American Realist/Impressionist painter known for his intimate landscapes. Born and raised in New York City, Bruestle studied at the Art Students' League of New York in 1886 at the young age of fifteen and later in Paris. That same year, Bruestle visited Essex, CT and eventually purchased a second home in Hadlyme, Old Lyme as the Art Colony formed. Bruestle's main studio was in New York City.

He was an adept draftsman and his paintings favored earlier European examples but, later took on a brighter Impressionist palette and brushy quality of the Old Lyme Art...
