Robert Reid
"Woman in a Forest Glade" Robert Lewis Reid, American Impressionist, French Lady

About the Item

Robert Lewis Reid Woman in a Forest Glade Oil on canvas 36 x 27 inches Provenance: Petersen Galleries, Beverly Hills, California Hirschl & Adler Galleries, New York, by 1979 Robert Reid was born in Massachusetts in 1862. He studied at Phillips Academy and the Boston Museum School. In 1884 he left for New York to study at the Art Students League, within a year he grew antsy and left for Paris to attend the Academie Julian. He returned to the states in 1889. In 1897 Reid became one of the founding members of the Ten American Painters, a group of Impressionists who rebelled against traditionalism; exhibiting together for twenty years. Reid completed numerous murals over the course of his career, including commissions for the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition in 1892; the American Pavilion at the 1900 Paris Exposition, the Fine Arts Building at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915; and in New York at St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church, the Imperial Hotel, the Fifth Avenue Hotel, many private residences and even an ocean liner. In the early 1920s, Reid moved to Colorado Springs where he joined the faculty of the Broadmoor Academy. He taught here from 1920-1927 and was instrumental in establishing and defining the academy. During this time, he focused more on portrait commissions, "creating what he called 'portrait impressions' by quickly painting in only the essential forms and features in broad, vigorous brush strokes." Reid's impressionist style consisted of high-hues, values and little contrast of lights and darks. In 1927, Reid was partially paralyzed by a stroke and spent the last two years of his life in a New York State sanitorium where he learned to paint with his left hand. His work is included in the permanent collections of many public institutions. Reid was a member of the Society of American Artists and the National Academy of Design (Associate, 1902; Academician, 1906).

  • "Elegant Lady in Winter, Trinity Church, New York" Herman Hyneman, Gilded Age
    By Herman Hyneman
    Located in New York, NY
    Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) Elegant Lady in Winter, Trinity Church, New York City Oil on canvas 22 x 15 inches Signed lower right Provenance: Freemans, 2005, Lot 76 Herman N. Hyneman was a noted American portrait and figure painter with ties to both Philadelphia and New York. He was born July 27,1849 to Leon and Adeline Hyneman in Philadelphia. ("Who Was Who in American Art" lists his birth date as either 1849 or 1859, but we have confirmed that the birth date is 1849). Virtually nothing is known about his early years, but given the fact that the family resided in a wealthy section of Philadelphia and the fact that he traveled to Paris to study in the studio of Leon Bonnat when he was but 20 years old, it is presumed that the family was financially comfortable if not well to do. Hyneman exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1879 and 1881, which was quite an accomplishment given his tender age. He returned to the United States in 1882 and after a year in Philadelphia, he established a studio at 58 West 57th Street, New York, NY, where he painted portraits to support himself and scenes of beautiful fair-skinned women walking in the snow to exhibit at major exhibitions throughout the United States. Hyneman exhibited at the the Brooklyn Art Association in 1882, 1883 and 1884 and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1883 and 1888. Beginning in 1882 and continuing up until 1905, he exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design. Despite the fact that he exhibited fourteen paintings at the National Academy over a span of three different decades, he was never elected as a member. In the 1880's his paintings sold for between $100 and $1500, which were substantial sums for that period. Hyneman also exhibited at the Salmagundi Club and the Philadelphia Art Club and was a member of each organization. He won a medal at the American Art Society in 1904 and also exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute. A handwritten label on one of his paintings indicates that he also exhibited in Budapest, Hungary. In 1892, Hyneman married the noted artist Juliet Jolley (aka Jolly), who had previously modeled for him. Thereafter, they shared a studio and on at least one occasion exhibited together. The February 5, 1896 edition of the "New York Times" reported on a "pleasant studio reception" at 58 West 57th Street where the paintings of both Herman and Juliet were shown to members of New York Society including Mr. And Mrs. Edwin Blashfield. At least one of Hyneman's Painting " A Sensation on Wall Street" which depicted a lovely young woman in fur coat with Muff in front of the Stock Exchange, was made into a post card and reproductions of his paintings are known to exist, although not plentiful. At least one etching is known, "Desdemona," which was reproduced in a book by Frederic Stokes. Herman Hyneman...
