About the Item

Frederick John Mulhaupt Gloucester Boats Signed lower left Oil on board 12 x 16 inches Born in Rock Port, Missouri, in 1871, Mulhaupt studied art in Kansas City, MO, before moving to Chicago in the early 1890s. Following a decade there studying and eventually teaching at the Art Institute of Chicago, he moved to New York City in 1904, and later that decade painted in Paris and at St. Ives on the Cornish coast of England, absorbing and practicing the tenets of impressionism that so informed his later Gloucester work. Mulhaupt first visited Cape Ann c. 1907. He began a pattern of summers in Gloucester and winters in New York until permanently settling in Gloucester in 1922. A decade later he and his family moved from 209 Main Street to Rocky Neck. He was renowned for his Gloucester Harbor paintings, done both ‘en plein air’, and in the studio. When asked what appealed to him about Gloucester in light of all the exotic places he’d been, he modestly stated that it “duplicates any view I care to paint.” He was particularly adept at capturing winter light and effects. Mulhaupt has been called “Dean of the Cape Ann School” of artists, and no finer an artist than Emile Gruppé called him “a cut above the rest of us. He could paint rings around us.” Mulhaupt was a member of the North Shore Art Association from 1923 until his death, where he exhibited many local paintings and held various positions. He became an Associate of the National Academy (1926) and was a member of the National Arts Club, Salmagundi Club, Allied Artists, Palette & Chisel (co-founder, Chicago), Boston Arts Club, Rockport AA; American Art Association in Paris and the Artists Fund Association.

"Fisherman of Yankee Cove, " Harry Leith-Ross, Boat Landscape
By Harry Leith-Ross
Located in New York, NY
Harry Leith-Ross (1886 - 1973) Fisherman of Yankee Cove Oil on canvasboard 8 1/8 x 10 1/2 inches Signed lower left; also with artist, title, and number '39' on label verso Provenance: Private Collection, Pennsylvania Landscape painter Harry Leith-Ross was born in Mauritius in 1886, a British possession in the Indian Ocean. He came to America as a seventeen year old. Before beginning, some ten years later in 1914, his studies at the Art Students League Summer School in Woodstock, New York at the relatively late age of twenty-eight, Leith-Ross had worked as a commercial artist. He studied with John F. Carlson and Birge Harrison at the League Summer School, and later with C. Y. Turner at the National Academy of Design in New York City. He then went to Paris, studying with Jean Paul Laurens at the Academie Julien and in England with Stanhope Forbes. Long associated with the Bucks County artists' colony in New Hope, Pennsylvania, Leith-Ross may have first gone there in 1912. It is definitely known that he visited the area in 1916 at the invitation of a student he had met when both attended the Art Students League Summer School in Woodstock, John Fulton Folinsbee. Birge Harrison, his former instructor at the League, whom he met again, was also there in New Hope during the winters from 1914 to 1916. The third and last generation of the New Hope colony would be comprised of artists like Leith-Ross, Folinsbee and Kenneth R. Nunamaker. It is somewhat ironic that Leith-Ross, so long affiliated with the New Hope School of American Impressionism...
