Harry A Vincent"Menton" - Landscape, Impressionism, France Landscape, Cape Ann School Artist
About the Item
Harry A. Vincent (1861-1931) was a self-taught American artist celebrated for his contributions to the world of plein air landscape painting. Born in Chicago, his journey as an artist began in an unexpected place - as a scenic painter for theaters. His early career involved creating intricate backdrops for the stage, but it was his transition to capturing the natural world that marked his artistic legacy.
Vincent's signature style centered on portraying serene marine scenes, often bathed in the soft light of dawn or dusk. His favored subjects included boats and the bustling fishing activities of New England, particularly the picturesque Cape Ann, and the coastal landscapes of France, with a focus on Menton.
In his works, Vincent skillfully harnessed the interplay of water, sky, light, and color, aligning his oeuvre with the tenets of American Impressionism. His proficiency extended beyond oil painting, as he demonstrated equal mastery in watercolor and charcoal drawing.
As his career advanced, Vincent transitioned from the bustling theater scene in Chicago to the vibrant New York City art community in the late 1890s. There, his talent gained increasing recognition, earning him several prestigious awards, including the Shaw Prize, Turnbull Prize, Porter Prize, and the Samuel Twybill Shaw Prize for his outstanding contributions to watercolor art.
In the later chapters of his life, Vincent chose to make Rockport, Massachusetts his home, residing on Atlantic Avenue with a stunning view of the inner harbor. This coastal setting greatly influenced his art, which continued to capture the essence of the sea and the local landscapes. He became a respected figure in the Rockport Art Association, playing an instrumental role in its foundation and serving as its first President. Additionally, he maintained ties with the North Shore Art Association.
While Vincent's art often celebrated the charm of seaside locales, he also turned his artistic eye to scenes from his travels across Europe, including England, Italy (Venice and Chioggia), and France (St. Tropez and Menton). His series of paintings from Brittany depicted the enchanting fishing village of Concarneau.
Harry A. Vincent's life and art demonstrate a passionate commitment to the beauty of the natural world, as well as a remarkable journey from the theater to the canvas, solidifying his place among the celebrated artists of his time.

- Coming In & Going Out ( Plein Air Landscape painting green yellow colors)By Jane ChapinLocated in Cody, WYThis 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...Category
