Frank Vincent Dumond
Willows, Old Lyme, CT Summer landscape

circa 1915

About the Item

A gorgeously colored summer landscape by Important American Impressionist, Frank V Dumond. Fresh in color and elegant in the tonally complimentary French frame with silk liner. Atmospheric and evocative of summer. Framed long ago in a French frame toned to compliment the work and recently new silk liner to freshen the feel of the work. Dumond once wrote of a painting he was doing “Its purely of the imagination and is that cherished land where all is peace and beauty.” Willows is just this although it is probably less purely of the imagination than a specific spot in Old Lyme and possibly near his home called “Grassy Hill”. Peace and beauty are two good descriptive words for many of Dumond's landscapes which are usually without drama or even much movement. Dumond does use color though in a way particular to him and Willows is a great example of this. His greens are of a hue that is slightly neon and very fresh and a tad artificial. He does this on purpose and he also evens out the picture in this hue. Dumond employed a bit of tonalism and he does this to elicit a feel from the viewer. This landscape is soothing and speaks of spring, freshness and vitality. Dumond was an artist who chose subtlety to communicate and there is a great allure to this. He had a methodical and clean way of laying down his brushwork that was just shy of being pointillist.

  • Boothbay Harbor, Maine from the Hill
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    Best known for his painterly landscape views, Oberteuffer developed a fresh and vigorous style, using a subdued color palette with agile brushstrokes that was influenced by French Impressionism. Boothbay Harbor from the Hill is a wonderful example of this style of painting and shows Oberteuffer’s mastery of subtle color. It is an added plus that Oberteuffer has specifically referenced a clearly identifiable locale- Boothbay Harbor- in his title and additionally denoted that the view was painted from the hillside, potentially capturing actual homes and buildings of the time. Framed in a Gold Leaf Whistler style frame of exceptional quality. The painting has vivid and fresh color and creates a window in any room. The canvas inside the frame measures 30 x 24 inches.

  • Coming In & Going Out ( Plein Air Landscape painting green yellow colors)
    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...
