About the Item
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. While best known as a lithographer and one of the founding members of the American Artists Group, Dehn played a significant role in America's contemporary realist movement starting in the 1930s. He was included in every Whitney Museum of American Art "Annual" and "Biennial" invitational exhibition from the first biennial 1932 into the early 1960's, and still holds the record for being in more of these prestigious shows than any other artist. His work is in the permanent collections of more than eighty museums.

John E. Thompson 'High Bridge, NYC' Signed Oil Painting, American, 1924
By John Edward Thompson
Located in Denver, CO
This original 1924 oil painting by acclaimed Colorado modernist John E. Thompson captures the architectural grandeur of High Bridge, New York City’s oldest standing bridge, as it spans the Harlem River. A powerful blend of realism and early modernist style, the composition highlights the bridge’s elegant arches and structural detail, all rendered in richly textured oil on canvas.
Thompson’s masterful brushwork and use of color breathe life into the urban landscape, creating a dynamic visual tribute to one of NYC’s most iconic 19th-century engineering feats. The painting is signed and dated in the lower right corner, adding historical authenticity and collector appeal. It is housed in a custom vintage frame, complementing the period and enhancing its timeless aesthetic.
This rare depiction of early 20th-century New York City is an important work for collectors of vintage American art, urban landscapes, and historical landmarks. It bridges two artistic worlds—urban realism and the advent of modernism—making it a standout piece in any serious collection.
About the Artist: John E. Thompson – Pioneer of Colorado Modernism
John Edward Thompson (1876–1945) is widely regarded as the "Dean of Colorado Artists", known for his pivotal role in introducing European modernist techniques to the American West. Born in Buffalo, Thompson studied at the Art Students League of Buffalo and later in New York City, before immersing himself in Europe’s avant-garde movements, particularly influenced by Paul Cézanne.
In 1914, Thompson settled in Denver, where he would become a transformative force in the local art scene. His teachings and leadership helped lay the foundation for Colorado’s modern art movement, and he later served as a faculty member at both the University of Denver and the Santa Fe Art School, alongside contemporaries like Andrew Dasburg, B.J.O. Nordfeldt, and Walter Ufer.
Thompson also mentored key figures such as Józef Bakoś and Walter Mruk, who would go on to co-found Los Cinco Pintores...
