Edna Marie Schmidt
"San Francisco Bay" Abstract Impressionist City Landscape Oil Painting on Board

Mid-20th Century

About the Item

This piece depicts a unique impressionistic landscape of the San Francisco Bay depicting the Golden Gate Bridge and all the beautiful details of the busy city of San Francisco. With much whimsey and attractive vibrant colors, we can feel the energy of the day and time in which it was executed. The sun is bright and the day is warm. A most charming piece comes ready to be displayed in a wonderful gold tone wood frame with white matting and hanging wire. The piece is signed lower right. Art measures 16 x 30 inches Frame measures 23.25 x 37.5 inches Edna Marie Schmidt was born in Cincinnati Ohio in 1912 and was a lifelong resident there. Her art career began at the young age of nine when she entered the Art Academy of Cincinnati. After graduating from Withrow High School, she attended the Applied College of Arts at the University of Cincinnati. That education led to doing fashion artwork for Mabley-Carew and the Cincinnati Enquirer. Several years later she was offered a better job in Milwaukee doing fashion page work for the Milwaukee Sentinel. She married William C. Schmidt of Cincinnati in 1937. Her art studies continued around the U.S. at various workshops, although her principal influence was her instructor Carl Zimmerman and the weekly studio that she attended for more than a decade in the '70s and '80s in his Loveland, Ohio studio. She has participated in numerous shows, with several one-woman shows featuring her work. Her commissioned portraits of industry and educational leaders hang in various public buildings of the Cincinnati area including her "Camargo Hunt" series of fox hunting oils. Edna Marie Schmidt was known for portrait and landscape painting, alongside with newspaper fashion illustration, she died in 1999 in her hometown. PROVENANCE: Private collection; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.

  • "Lush Landscape with Greens and Blues" Mid Century Modern Oil Painting on Canvas
    By Nanno de Groot
    Located in New York, NY
    This piece is a wonderful Mid Century pertinent example of Nannot de Groot's works from the prime of his career with thick use of impasto oil paint, and gestural brushwork throughout. In 1957 it was a transitional year from painting figures in his New York studio to his new studio into the countryside. And in 1959 he and his wife came back to Provincetown Massachusetts and rented a small cabin that was in a field belonging to Mary Cecil Allen on the west end. It was a small space, and there was a tree that was outside the front door, he was inspired and painted this tree over and over, and soon it was the beginning of a whole new series. The brush landscape that was outside of the window of the cabin became a focal point of this series and every year it would change, picking up inspiration to depict the tree in a new way each year. This piece is signed and dated 59' by the artist upper right corner and it comes housed with the original Mid-Century wood frame with gold rim and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 49.5 x 39 inches Frame measures 51.5 x 40 inches Nanno de Groot was born on March 23 of 1913, in Balkbrug, Holland. He started drawing at six years of age. Although his father prevented him to study art at an early age, he moved to the United States in the year of 1941, and in 1946 at age 33 he discovered Picasso and he dedicated the rest of his life to painting and drawing. He worked for a year as a cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle. After his marriage to the New York School artist Elise Asher...
