Frederic Usher Devoll
Steamships

c. 1900

About the Item

We fell in love with this highly atmospheric, nearly abstract image of steamships, c. 1900, by American impressionist painter Frederic Usher Devoll. You can't help but see the influence of Whistler or that of British great JMW Turner. Devoll studied with American greats William Merritt Chase, Robert Henri and Charles Hawthorne. His work often utilizes a violet-hued tonalist palette with quick, yet even, strokes, and which led some of his contemporaries to compare him to the French pointilllist painter Georges Seurat.
