Winter Oil Painting Attrib. to George Inness Hartley, of two famous art families1930’s
1930’s
About the Item
This unusual winter painting is signed lower right “G I Hartley”. It is well done for the subject matter and time period. Research has lead me to believe that the artist is George Inness Hartley, the son of famous American sculptor Jonathan Scott Hartley (1845-1912) and Helen Inness, the daughter of famous Hudson River painter George Inness (1825-1894). Son George Inness Hartley was born in 1887 in New York and educated at Cornell. He was known as a writer and scientist as well as serving in the military as a Captain during World War I. Living early in life in Manhattan, the extended family located to the edge of Southampton on Long Island in the early 20th century. While not known particularly as an artist himself, he had siblings that carried on the artistic traditions of their more famous ancestors, so it is not too far a stretch to believe that son George may have also painted.
The colorful work shows a snow covered flat landscape with icy but open waters. Perhaps it is Long Island Sound. Birds or ducks are shown along the shore, in the water and flying in the distant sky. It appears that the sun is shining through clouds and hitting the center inlet at the open break of land. The painting appears to date to the 1930’s and as such is bright, colorful and somewhat modern in approach. At 18” x 24” oil on canvas, the work is signed lower right. It is housed in a complimentary period gold painted frame with some subtle relief design. Overall framed measurements are 23 1/2” x 29 1/2”. Both the painting and the frame are in very good condition with no real issues to report. The composition, light and painting techniques of this work point to an artist with a somewhat trained background. It’s a unique scene that draws one’s eye and interest to study and contemplate it further.

- PrintempsBy Charles LevierLocated in Costa Mesa, CAA beautiful woman sits at an open window, gazing down at a small bird who has landed nearby in this serene portrait by Charles Levier. Warm orange tones are played off their complements in shades of blue, the artist utilizing several different layers of oils to create a subtle and relaxed view of a spring day near the sea. Beyond the window a small chapel sits on a peninsula, surrounded tranquil blue waters. This work, like many of Levier's, belongs to the French figurative movement of the Glorious Thirty (Les Trente Glorieuses) - the golden period of thirty years after WWII which were a time of great hope and prosperity in France. Inspired by Hollywood cinema, Charles Levier sought harmony in composition and purity of color and form. His said that his creations represented "a light and delicate world, of dark and subtle shades and colors." Levier worked in a somewhat abstracted, cubist style. Additionally he often employed the French technique of "cloisonnism" (after the French for "partition"), a style of post-Impressionist painting with bold and flat forms separated by dark contours, also seen in this work. The term was coined by critic Edouard Dujardin on the occasion of the Salon des Indépendants, in March 1888 and was commonly used by artists like Émile Bernard, Louis Anquetin, Paul...Category
