About the Item

American life is captured in this Clyde Singer painting, After the Shower (1949), where he depicts a woman walking down the street after a storm with her umbrella in hand. An accomplished American Scene painter, Singer successfully captured everyday life during his long career. This painting is executed in oil paint on masonite board. It is signed by the artist in the lower right and dated 1949. The back retains an exhibition label from the Canton Art Institute show in 1950. Presented in an artist frame of stained wood with a light green interior inset. Framed Dimensions: 25 H x 41 W Inches Image Dimensions: 18 H x 34.5 W Inches Born in Malvern, Ohio, forty miles south of Akron, Clyde Singer became known for his regionalist paintings in oil and watercolor of everyday landscapes and people. In 1933, he was awarded a scholarship to the Art Students League in New York. It was during the Depression, and he lived a Spartan existence. His teachers included John Steuert Curry, Thomas Hart Benton, Kenneth Hayes Miller, and Ivan Olinsky. Adopting the Social Realist style, he tried to paint in the same locations as George Bellows and John Sloan, and he painted many scenes of the interior of McSorley's famous saloon that Sloan had depicted. He had a long history with the Butler Institute in Youngstown, OH.
