About the Item

Masterfully designed scene of an attractive young Redhead sitting by a canoe under a tree with hanging Spanish moss. It is rendered in a quick Arts and Crafts style that is as abstract as it is representational. The viewer can stare at it endlessly and still discover new pictorial relationships. Every brush stroke and every dap a paint is perfectly placed. Signed lower left. Most likely for Saturday Evening Post or Colliers. Louderback is a painter/illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration - Oil on Canvas Walt Louderback is an overlooked and under appreciated artist. His stylized technique rooted in a deep knowledge of academic art is quite similar to Dean Cornwell. They both worked for Cosmopolitan Magazine and may have been friends. Cornwell was a student of Harvey Dunn who was in turn a student of the father of American Illustration: Howard Pyle. Clearly Louderback absorbed the Dunn- Pyle influence. Louderback was a teacher as well and taught at the Art Institue of Chicago. John Clymer was influenced by Louderback.
