About the Item

The Death of Crispus Attucks, 1943
Tempera and oil on board
21 x 15 inches
Signed and dated: Tom Dietrich 1943
Thomas M. Dietrich was an artist in residence at Lawrence College for 30 years and painted in the American Regionalist style. He exhibited yearly at the Art Institute of Chicago where he also received the acclaimed International William Tuthill Prize for watercolors in 1941 (Charles Burchfield won the associated Logan prize that same year) Dietrich also received a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation fellowship and was a founding member of the Wisconsin Watercolor Society.
In 1943 Deitrich painted The Death of Crispus Attucks, depicting the historical battle known as the Boston Massacre. Crispus Attucks, the first person believed to have been shot by the British redcoats, is centered as the protagonist of the painting and surrounded by other patriots falling from the British attack. The figures are painted in a manner similar to that of Dietrich’s contemporary and fellow regionalist, Thomas Hart Benton who is also known for his politically charged subjects. Crispus Attucks, is considered by many to be a hero of Black American culture and this dynamic and action filled painting helps to capture this very important American story.

William Bodfish Oil Painting Titled "The Sister's Visit", Dated 1888
Located in New York, NY
Two figures in 19th century dress sit at a table in a cafe.
Provenance: Private Collection, New Jersey
Originally based in New York City, William Bodfish was a talented artist who gained recognition for his illustrations and cartoons in the late nineteenth century. A painter of genre scenes, he also created detailed illustrations of hunting, whaling and fishing adventures for such magazines as Harper's Weekly. In the years following the Civil War, he traveled to the American West, joining the legion of journalists and illustrators who recorded the development of the new frontier. He was considered by historians to be one of the most “able cartoonists” to tackle the West. During his lifetime, Bodfish exhibited work at the National Academy of Design and the Art Institute of Chicago. Likely created after the artist’s departure from New York, The Sister’s Visit records a quiet moment between two siblings. Seated before a lovely spread of luncheon items, including a bowl of oranges...
