George M Bruestle
American Impressionist Artist Oil Painting George Bruestle Salmagundi Club

circa 1900

About the Item

Here is a very beautiful oil painting on panel by American painter George M Bruestle who was a Salmagundi Club artist member. The painting is is good shape ready to hang housed in the original frame. Image measures 8.5 x 10.5 unframed, 14.75 x 16.75 framed. The painting shows craquelure mainly in the lower dark areas as seen in the pic of signature which looks lighter than the actual painting does. George Matthew Bruestle American, (1872–1939) The son of immigrants, George M. Bruestle was born and raised in New York City. He was trained as an illustrator and employed by Harper’s Bazaar when he enrolled at the Art Students League in 1886. The same year, Bruestle made his first trip to Essex, Connecticut, where he found inspiration in the verdant countryside and sweeping vistas that frame the Connecticut River. He travelled to Paris in 1890, and returned to the United States displaying a newfound impressionist inclination in his palette and brushwork. In 1900, when the Old Lyme Art Colony was officially formed, he was spending time in nearby Hadlyme, Connecticut, and soon became one of the earliest Impressionist painters at the colony. In 1905 the Bruestles bought a house in the Hamburg section of Lyme. He, his wife, and his son, future artist Bertram Bruestle (1902–1968), spent their summers there while maintaining a winter residence in Manhattan. He was an active member in the artistic communities of both locales, belonging to the Society of American Artists, the National Arts Club, Allied Artists of America, the Salmagundi Club, the Lotos Club, the Lyme Art Association, and Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts. Venues in which he was exhibited include the Art Institute of Chicago, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Corcoran Gallery, Lyme Art Association, National Academy of Design, Paris Salon of 1895, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (Cooley Gallery).

I'm currently offering select paintings from my collection like this one. In order to collect new paintings, I must sell off some of my current collection. For art that I have painted, it is derived in a variety of ways. I'm a responder. I respond to light, color, design, etc. and I love painting both outdoors on location and in the studio under a controlled environment. I try to convey an idea, mood or just simply a beautiful setting. I'm inspired by a wide variety of subject matter and styles of painting and do not adhere to just one way. My paintings have won numerous awards over the years and have been collected both nationally and internationally. They can be found in three museum collections, the White House Collection and many private collections.
