About the Item

"Late Sun" - Carmel by the Sea California Original Oil French Impressionism Thick impasto and textured oil on linen circa 1962 by California artist Harry B. Lachman (American, 1886 - 1975). Besides being an American Impressionist, Harry was a honored French Impressionism artist as well. Lovely scene of Carmel by the Sea California of cottages and trees on a quiet lane. Some minor bowing of the canvas due to age and the heavy paints he used. Signed "Lachman" lower right Exhibited Dalzell Hatfield Galley, Beverly Hills 1959-1962 (partial Label on verso) Image, 18.25"H x 21.75"W Frame, 20.75"H x 24.5"W x 1"D A onetime magazine illustrator, Harry Lachman, born in LaSalle, Indiana June 29, 1886, became one of the leading European Post-Impressionist painters in the teens and twenties. By his late twenties, Lachman had established himself as an artist both in America and Europe. He exhibited in America at the National Academy of Design, New York, as well as the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Early on in his career Lachman traveled to Europe to paint and eventually lived at various times in France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. In Europe, the painter's works were accepted at the annual Parisian Salons. Lachman worked as a set designer with the equally artistically-inclined film maker Rex Ingram at the latter's studio in Nice, France. At age 42, Lachman put aside his oils to become a film director in England. He came to Hollywood when signed by the Fox Studios in 1933. Lachman's most impressive American directorial projects included the elaborate Spencer Tracy vehicle "Dante's Inferno" (1935) and Laurel and Hardy's "Our Relations" (1936). Both were made in collaboration with Rudolph Mate, Lachman's favorite cinematographer. He worked extensively at 20th Century-Fox's "B" unit, turning out several of the better Charlie Chan movies as well as the atmospheric "The Loves of Edgar Allan Poe" (1942) and horror film, "Dr. Renault's Secret" (1942). Harry Lachman returned to painting in 1943; his works both in the field of art and the realm of cinema are still exhibited worldwide. He died on March 19, 1975. In France, Lachman was elevated to Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, a position held by other Americans, most notably Richard E. Miller. While his "Parisian Spring" is owned by the Petit Palais, Paris, four other paintings by him were acquired by the Musee du Luxembourg. He is represented in the collections of the Art Institute, Chicago and the St. Petersburg Museum of Art, among others. Born in La Salle, IL on June 29, 1886, Harry Lachman studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. After working as a magazine illustrator, he went to Paris in 1911 to begin an art career and gained fame quickly for his Post-Impressionist paintings. At his first exhibition, 40 of the 55 canvases sold, two to the Musee du Luxemburg. He was a successful film director in France and England before arriving in Hollywood in 1933. He was a film director for Fox Films into the 1940s and then returned to painting.

  • Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)
    By Jane Chapin
    Located in Cody, WY
    This is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...
