William Eastman (American, 1881-1950) Finsevand Norwegian Glaciers, 1922 Oil on canvas 21 x 18 inches Exhibited: 1923 Cleveland Museum of Art May Show Born in Cleveland in 1881, William Eastman attended the Cleveland School of Art, graduating in 1912. 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.

"Spring in Central Park" after Adolf Arthur Dehn, Midcentury Modern Manhattan
By Adolf Arthur Dehn
Located in Soquel, CA
A spectacular mid-century modern Manhattan figurative landscape oil painting, after the renowned artist Adolf Arthur Dehn's 1941 watercolor "Spring in Central Park", by an unknown artist (American, 20th Century). In this vibrant and expressive circa 1960 rendition of Dehn's famed painting, New Yorkers are depicted as tiny figures milling about the park in springtime, dwarfed by fluffy pink trees in bloom and the towering New York City skyline in the distance. Unsigned. Presented in a wood frame. Image size: , 29"H x 36"L. Framed: 32"H x 39"W. This painting is after the prestigious watercolor of the same title, painted in 1941 by Adolf Arthur Dehn (American, 1895 - 1968). The original piece is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It was exhibited at the Met's "26th Annual National Exhibition of Advertising and Editorial Art" in 1947, and then again at the 1950 exhibition titled "20th Century Painters: A Special Exhibition of Oils, Water Colors and Drawings Selected from the Collections of American Art in the Metropolitan Museum". More recently, "Spring in Central Park" was exhibited at Fairfield University Art Museum for the 2017 exhibition "Adolf Dehn: Midcentury Manhattan". Visiting, and then living in New York City, Dehn captured the essence of the city in his paintings, prints and drawings of the landscapes of Central Park, and of the city's burlesque and night club scenes...
