George Lawrence Nelson
"Autumn" Colorful Mid-20th Century American Oil Painting Landscape with Tress

1950

About the Item

A wonderful depiction of an Autumn landscape in Kent, Connecticut from the Mid-20th Century with puffed trees by the country side. For this beautiful depiction, we find distinct elements that are unique to the earlier works of George Lawrence Nelson. Among other things, this American artist was notable for his painting with the trends of the times. The result of this beautiful oil painting is one of provoking imagery and emotion in an impressionistic technique. Rather than painting his subject in a more technical way this piece is portrayed with joyful colors and is filled with bold brushstrokes and impressive marks. This painting is signed lower right and it comes housed in a beautiful decorated gold tone wood frame with linen inner and hanging with wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 16 x 20 inches Framed measures 22.75 x 26.75 inches George Nelson was an American painter who was born in 1887. Numerous key galleries and museums such as The Fine Art Society, Edinburgh have featured Nelson's work in the past. Nelson's work has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging to 14,400 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork. Since 2002 the record price for this artist at auction is 14,400 USD for After Seymour Thomas, sold at Nadeau's in 2016. Nelson has been featured in articles for ArtDaily, ARTFIXdaily and Detroit Free Press. The most recent article is Art, Design, Lighting and Furnishings, Spanning Centuries and Continents, in Rago's Unreserved Auctions on August 24-25 written for ArtDaily in July 2019. The first decades of the 20th Century were defined by the energetic development of visual and pictorial art. These decades were an time of experimentation, with artists delving into ideas surrounding Post-Impressionism, Expressionism and Abstraction. These innovations inspired artist communities and collectives on an international scale, with many groups developing different ways of expressing their ideas. The first twenty years of the twentieth century are viewed as the period in art history where modernist and modern ideas first began to have cultural influence. They were a prolific time in the art world, and industrial advances such as mechanisation led to other disciplines such as architecture, led by the work of Le Corbusier and Gerrit Rietveld, to grow at an equally high rate. The notion of a common discipline across all modes of art was epitomised in the Bauhaus movement, which became a predominant way of thinking about art. These philosophies that we associate today with modern and contemporary art can be traced back to the diverse range of artworks produced at this time. PROVENANCE: Estate of Hazel Hanlon Tampa, Florida; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.

Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist.
