About the Item
This is a very colorful winter scene of the Ellis River in northeastern New Hampshire, near Jackson. The river begins at the base of Mount Washington and eventually joins the Saco River, through Maine. The day is a mostly clear one, and the landscape is snow covered, but the river still running without ice. Artist David C. Baker used a variety of colors with a modernist tendency to create the scene. The structure of the leafless trees is a foreground to the distant mountains beyond. It’s a sunny day and the painting exudes light, even though it is winter.
David C. Baker was born in New York City in 1915 and after the war opened his gallery in Jackson in 1951. His specialty was local scenes in and near his home base. This is one of those, and it dates to the late 1950’s or very early 1960’s. The frame is original to the piece and is light colored painted wood to enhance the feeling of winter. Its broadly canted sides create a strong sense of perspective to the overall work. On the reverse side of the painting is an original gallery label from his studio with the title “Winter on the Ellis River” and other notations. The painting is signed on the front, lower left and it measures 16” x 20”. Overall framed dimensions are 22” x 26”.
Both the work, oil on board, and frame are in very good condition. The painting has been recently cleaned by an art restorer and freshly varnished. The frame shows minor signs of wear here and there, but still presents well for viewing purposes.

- PrintempsBy Charles LevierLocated in Costa Mesa, CAA beautiful woman sits at an open window, gazing down at a small bird who has landed nearby in this serene portrait by Charles Levier. Warm orange tones are played off their complements in shades of blue, the artist utilizing several different layers of oils to create a subtle and relaxed view of a spring day near the sea. Beyond the window a small chapel sits on a peninsula, surrounded tranquil blue waters. This work, like many of Levier's, belongs to the French figurative movement of the Glorious Thirty (Les Trente Glorieuses) - the golden period of thirty years after WWII which were a time of great hope and prosperity in France. Inspired by Hollywood cinema, Charles Levier sought harmony in composition and purity of color and form. His said that his creations represented "a light and delicate world, of dark and subtle shades and colors." Levier worked in a somewhat abstracted, cubist style. Additionally he often employed the French technique of "cloisonnism" (after the French for "partition"), a style of post-Impressionist painting with bold and flat forms separated by dark contours, also seen in this work. The term was coined by critic Edouard Dujardin on the occasion of the Salon des Indépendants, in March 1888 and was commonly used by artists like Émile Bernard, Louis Anquetin, Paul...Category
