Vollian Rann
Fishermen & Nets

n.d.

About the Item

Vollian Burr Rann was a painter and printmaker known for vivid, impressionistic landscapes and seascapes depicting Cape Cod, as well as portraiture. He worked primarily with oils and watercolors, although he frequently produced woodblock prints. Rann Studied at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at George Washington University, and at the National Academy of Design with Charles Webster Hawthorne. He was a member of the Provincetown Arts Association Museum where he acceded to honorary Vice President. He exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the National Academy of Design, among others. Rann had a school in Provincetown for a number of years and was an instructor to Nancy Whorf, among others. The quiet energy of this group of fishermen seems to function without time: Have things happened, or are they about to happen? Rann’s narrative genius is fully demonstrated in this dynamic oil painting.
