About the Item

Barclay Rubincam (1920-1978). October Fog, 1966. Oil on canvas, 20 x 40 inches; 23.5 x 43.5 inches framed. Signed and dated lower right. Original label affixed verso. Excellent condition. original frame. Barclay Rubincam (1920-1978) was born and grew up in Chester County, Pennsylvania, where he developed a life-long love for its charming landscape and fascinating history. Art was an early passion, and Rubincam spent hours drawing and painting murals, posters, and other decorations and projects during his school years. After graduating from Unionville High School in 1939, he attended the Wilmington Academy of Fine Arts (today the Delaware Art Museum) where he was taught by Gale Hoskins and Frank Schoonover, among others. He also studied with N.C. Wyeth in Chadds Ford. Army service during World War II delayed the start of Rubincam's professional career as a painter, but when he returned from duty, he set up a studio in his newly purchased house in West Chester. In 1946 he married long-time sweetheart Caroline Hannum. The couple had four children: Andre, Reginald, Ghisele, and Christopher. Rubincam became successful at his chosen career, selling enough paintings to support himself and his family. The paintings were exhibited and offered for sale in local museums, art associations, banks, and other stores in and around West Chester and Wilmington. Most of his non-portrait artwork was not commissioned, but was an expression of Rubincam's personal interests; one of these was local history. A favorite subject was the Battle of Brandywine; Rubincam completed many paintings and maps focusing on this topic, including "Hessians Marching Past the Barns-Brinton House at the Battle of Brandywine". Credit for the historical accuracy and detail that Rubincam was known for must go to his wife Caroline, who served as his research assistant. Rubincam died of cancer in 1978. Today his paintings are valued for their richness of subject and for their preservation of Chester County's history and beauty.
