Fiske Boyd was a Philadelphia-born painter, printmaker, and arts educator. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Students League with Kenneth Hayes Miller. Early in his career, Boyd adopted a modernist approach and joined the Charles Daniel Galleries in 1923. His works from the 1920s were spare compositions usually in thinly applied pigments, often reminiscent of the work of Preston Dickinson. During this time, he exhibited at the Salons of America in New York and his practice included black and white block prints for which he became well known. Boyd was an early member of the Woodstock art colony, as well as the American Artists Congress, National Academy of Design, Audubon Artists, Society of Graphic Artists and the Boston Printmakers. While frequenting Woodstock, Boyd practiced a form of rural modernism during the Great Depression with images composed of an unconventional shimmering palette. In 1937, he completed a mural for the post office in Summit, New Jersey, a commission awarded by the Treasury Department’s Section of Fine Arts. During the 1950s, Boyd’s adopted a more expressionist style applying thick coats of impasto with a fully loaded brush. From the 1920s through the 1950s, he exhibited at many institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, Whtiney Museum of American Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Corcoran Gallery, Brooklyn Museum, National Academy of Design, Carnegie Museum of Art, and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Boyd lived most of his life in New Jersey, New York and New Hampshire. His works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Delaware Museum of Art, as well as dozens of other museums. He is listed in Who Was Who in American Art and all other standard references.

Jefferson Market Library (Courthouse)

Jefferson Market Library (Courthouse), c. 1930s, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches, signed lower right; presented in a newer silver painted frame
About the Painting
Writing about an exhibition of Charles W. Adams’ work at the Eighth Street Art Gallery in the mid-1930s, Emily Grenauer observed in The World-Telegram that the artist’s paintings were “distinguished for their solid form, well organized design and sumptuous color” and the art critic for The Herald Tribune found Adam’s work “a strong, formal realization of his subject . . . he paints with vital emphasis on structure and composition.” Although we do not know which works these critics referenced, it is likely they were writing about paintings like Jefferson Market Library (Courthouse). With its carefully designed reality, strong angles, solid forms, and well-disciplined puffs of smoke in the background, Adams presents a highly structured version of the Greenwich Village landmark, the Jefferson Market Library, which was a courthouse at the time Adams completed this work. The Jefferson Market Library was a prized subject for downtown painters, including the Ashcan School painter, John Sloan, the modernist, Stuart Davis, and the precisionist, Francis Criss...

Moonlight Shanties

Moonlight Shanties, c. 1940s, oil on canvas, 24 x 18 inches, signed lower right, signed and titled verso
About the Painting
In Moonlight Shanties, Joachim depicts a lower-class neighborhood sitting along-side an elevated road or railway which crowds out the small nearby houses and structures. Joachim’s use of an expressionist palette and gestural brushstrokes together with the isolated figures obscured in the shadows, create a feeling of unease, isolation and even loneliness. From the 1920s through 1940s, American artists commonly employed expressionist conventions in their social realist works which portrayed the gritty side of urban America, especially the communities of the city-dwelling poor. Expressionist styles were considered appropriate for bridging the gap between the modernist idea of art-for-art’s-sake and the narrative qualities demanded by the dual crises of the Great Depression and World War II. Moonlight Shanties successfully uses these expressionist methods to portray a neighborhood and its people who appear to be literally and figuratively “on the edge.”
