About the Item

Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork. Signed lower left Illustrated "New Hope for American Art" Fred Wagner (1861 - 1940) One of the earliest of the Pennsylvania Impressionists, Fred Wagner was born in Port Kennedy, Pennsylvania in 1861. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts with Thomas Eakins from 1878 until 1884, before being made chief demonstrator of anatomy to the life classes by the Academy. In 1886 Wagner left the Academy, spending the next several years painting in California, creating a series of western landscapes. Upon returning to Philadelphia, he worked as an illustrator for the Philadelphia Press until 1902. He was later asked to teach at the Pennsylvania Academy’s Chester Springs School, a position he held for seven years. In 1912, Wagner opened his studio in Philadelphia. Around the same time, he founded the Addingham School of Painting in an old farmhouse just outside Philadelphia, whose landscape, similar to that of the scenic New Hope area, had become a popular spot for artists to congregate. This school lasted more than twenty-five years, with classes eventually being conducted in the Fuller Building in Philadelphia. Wagner’s impressionist style is best described by his friend, Walter Emerson Baum: “Wagner was sensitive to nature’s changing moods…his approach to nature was not with a photographic eye. Instead he seemed to allow a subject to play upon his senses and quickly, as if by intuition, he would capture its most fleeting effect”, Whether painting active city scenes, frozen harbors, or serene Bucks County landscapes, his preferred method was to first visit the subject and create a detailed sketch in pastel, later he converted these small sketches into powerful larger oil paintings. His paintings of streets, harbors, and industrial scenes are a visual record of early twentieth century Philadelphia and hint at the “Ashcan” style that younger artists would soon be developing. Greatly admired by his peers, Wagner was invited to exhibit at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for an unprecedented period spanning fifty-eight years. He exhibited at the Academy from 1882 until 1940, winning the prestigious Fellowship Prize for his painting, “Snow and Ice” in 1914. Wagner also exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the Armory Show in New York (1913), the Corcoran Gallery Biennials, the Art Institute of Chicago, the St. Louis Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Art Club, The Philadelphia Sketch Club, and the Carnegie Institute (1922 prize), among others. His work is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Sketch Club, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the James A. Michener Art Museum, and the Woodmere Art Museum.

"Dry Dock"

By Henry Bayley Snell

Located in Lambertville, NJ

Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Henry Bayley Snell (1858 - 1943) Henry Bayley Snell was born in Richmond, England, on September 29, 1858 and immigrated to the United States at the age of seventeen. He studied at the Art Students League in New York while working for an etching and engraving company where he began a lifelong friendship with fellow artists, William Langson Lathrop. While in New York Snell met another artist, named Florence Francis, also of English descent, whom he would eventually marry in 1888. It is believed that they first came to Bucks County in 1898 to visit the Lathrops at Phillips Mill. Snell was a beloved teacher at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women from 1899 to 1943, and often took his art classes abroad during the summer. He would frequently visit his native England, spending time at the art colony of St. Ives on the coast of Cornwall. Snell would summer in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Boothbay Harbor, Maine, where he also held painting classes. Almost all the women who exhibited with “The Philadelphia Ten” had studied with Snell either in Philadelphia or New England. Snell also taught on Saturdays at the Grand Central Galleries in New York City. The Snells made many trips to New Hope before settling there permanently in 1925. They lived on the top floor of the Solebury National Bank Building where Henry also maintained a studio. This was located at the foot of the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge and many of Snell’s New Hope scenes were painted from this location. In 1943, Snell passed away in New Hope at the age of eighty-four. Henry Snell earned an international reputation as an artist for his paintings of Cornwall...
