About the Item
"The Young Artist" is an oil on panel painting made in 1926 by Grant Wood. The work is signed lower right, "Grant Wood". The painting size is 11 x 14 x 1 inches. The framed size is 20 1/4 x 23 1/2 x 4 inches.
This work has a sterling provenance having been held in the family of the artist since its creation. The scholar Dr. Henry Adams has said this painting ranks as "among the very finest and most engaging early works" by Wood. Inclusion of debris in the paint indicates that the work was painted en plein air.
This work was created while the artist was in his mid-30s, thus the title "The Young Artist" might be tongue-in-cheek. Painted in the fall of 1926, Wood had just returned from his final summer in Paris and had entered a mature period in his oeuvre. The soft brushstrokes in this work are reminiscent of his early impressionist style, but the stronger line work and geometry shows the development toward his mature style.

- "Bustling Alley at Dusk" Oil PaintingBy Christopher Clark 1Located in Denver, COChristopher Clark's (US based) "Bustling Alley at Dusk" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a dreamy cityscape that features turn of the century buildings lining an alley where throngs of people gather at cafes and walk past in the light of the setting sun. Bio/artist statement: Christopher has been an artist since early childhood, when he would watch Bob Ross on PBS and mimic the famed oil painter’s art with crayons. He considers himself a self-educated artist, with his studies ranging from personal training with contemporary masters, to classical academic art technique, with much inspiration from 19th Century art and the Impressionist Movement. Christopher lived in Italy for a time, immersing himself in Italian culture and art, which continues to influence his painting. His fan base has grown considerably since his return to the US, gaining the attention of Lucasfilm and Marvel Fine Art, which both signed him as an officially licensed artist in 2016. Other clients include George Lucas, Major League Baseball, Louisville Slugger, and Fender Guitars. Christopher’s painting skills are not his only talent in the arts.
