After which he moved to New York and briefly studied at the Art Students League. The following year he moved back to Cleveland to become an instructor at the Cleveland School of Art, a position he held until his death. He had his first solo exhibition in 1911 at the studio he shared with Walter Heller. Around 1915 Eastman began experimenting with gold and silver-leaf grounds in paintings based on "principles of pure design." He exhibited at the annual May Shows at the Cleveland Museum of Art (1919-1950). On sabbatical from the Cleveland School of Art in 1922, he studied at the Academie Julian in Paris and spent the following year painting in France, Spain, Italy, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. One of the many trips in Europe he would take throughout his lifetime. He directed the Eastman-Bolton Gallery from 1926-1938, a decorative-design firm that he cofounded. In 1931 he was elected president of the Cleveland Society of Artists. The following year he organized the city's first artist's Curb Market to stimulate sales of local artists' work. During the 1930's and 1940's his paintings appeared in solo exhibtions in Cleveland, Akron, Columbus, and the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachussetts. In the summer of 1939 he made the first of many painting trips to the American West and Mexico. Returning from one of these trips in 1950, Eastman died of a heart attack. The Cleveland Institute of Art organized a memorial exhibition of his work the following year.

Late 19th Century Landscape - "After The Snow"
By Constantin Aleksandrovich Westchiloff
Located in Soquel, CA
Gorgeous late 19th-century snowscape titled "After the Snow," by artist Constantin Alexandrovitch Westchiloff (1877-1945) Signed on the bottom right corner and titled on edge (the color differences in the signature letters are original to the painting prior to cleaning, and have not been modified or augmented). Unframed. Image size: 14.25"H x 20.25"W Westchiloff is an American-Russian artist. He was born in Russia in 1877, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg; as an artist, he traveled extensively in Europe and in the USA. He finally settled in New England, where he died in 1945. He is probably best-known for seascapes (particularly of the New England coastline) but was also well regarded for his landscapes, portraits and figures, and genre subjects. His work, especially after his travels in Europe and then in America, is closest to Impressionist in style. His favored medium was oil, which was well suited to his confident and strong technique. This, in turn, imbued his paintings of the rugged landscapes and seascapes of New England...
