Summer Garden, Attributed to Edward Francis Rook, Jr., American Impressionist

About the Item

"Summer Garden" is attributed to Edward Francis Rook, Jr., who was born in New York City in 1870. He was a student of Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens at the Académie Julian. He exhibited at the Cincinnati Art Museum and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where he was presented with the Temple Gold Medal for Deserted Street, Moonlight, the first of many awards. Rook visited Old Lyme in October of 1903 when Childe Hassam was also there, and two years later moved to Old Lyme. He was one of the relatively young painters to come to Old Lyme, along with Gifford Beal, William Chadwick, and Robert Nisbet, on the wave of impressionism, initiated there by Hassam and Metcalf. Rook spent some of his summers on Monhegan Island. He was represented by Macbeth and Grand Central Art Galleries. The painting measures 11" x 13" framed.

  • Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)
    By Jane Chapin
    Located in Cody, WY
    This is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...
