Beatrice Whitney Van Ness
Au Revoir October

1930-60

About the Item

Signed lower right: “Beatrice Whitney Van Ness”. From the estate of the artist. Beatrice Whitney Van Ness, acclaimed painter and art educator, dedicated her life to the process of learning. As a student at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston with Frank Benson and Edmund Tarbell and at Ogunquit, Maine with Charles Woodbury, she gained great proficiency as a painter. After a decade of prizes and awards she dedicated her life to art education. Van Ness taught classes at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and then founded the art department at the Beaver Country Day School outside Boston. Her pioneering work ultimately inspired many of the first art education programs in public schools. From the mid-1920’s, because of her teaching commitments, Van Ness painted primarily in the summers in Maine. The area radiated a brilliant summer heat, which she explored continually through light and pattern. These works of brilliant color and design evoke the rhythmic atmosphere, revealing her modern interest in the process of painting itself.

  • I Came to Where the Lone Pilgrim Lay, River Landscape Oil on Canvas, Western Art
    By Michael Ome Untiedt
    Located in Whitefish, MT
    I Came to Where the Lone Pilgrim Lay by Michael Ome Untiedt Oil on Canvas, 36" x 48", 43" x 55" (framed), hanging hardware included. From the artist: "In Memory of Tom Horn: This is another of my feeble attempts to break down, to rage against the tyranny of time. I have fought this battle for a half century, yet my limbs grow slower, my hair more moon-bleached. I ponder as I apply brush strokes to the canvas, what thoughts pass through the viewer of this work a hundred years hence, two hundred years later? Will they know what I carry in my heart today? Am I on a great mandala of life, and will I return one day to this same experience, or am I adrift on a great "river" flowing endlessly through the Cosmos, heeding shoal water and seeking shoreline that is forever changing? A dear friend passed this week from the plague scourging our fair land. When and where will I hear his sweet self deprecating laughter again?" Born and raised in rural southeastern Colorado, Michael Ome Untiedt maintains a studio in Denver. Traveling extensively, he is known as a painter of the world who sees with a westerner’s eye. Through the color, brush strokes, and symbolic subject matter of his paintings, he attempts to examine the human predicament and its connections to the landscape and history of the American West. He is driven to portray twenty-first-century psychology on a nineteenth-century saddle! Untiedt has participated in numerous shows including the Western Masters Art Show and Sale, Settler’s West Miniatures Show and Art of the American West...
