About the Item
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
“Springtown Reflections No. I” depicts the moment of change in the weather moving from harsh winter to the first warming days of spring melting the snow. The title suggests a moment to pause in farm life before the coming spring planting and also suggests a time of mental reflection on life and work. The puddles of melting snow reflect the buildings in the scene. The muted colors and slightly off kilter structures cause the buildings to appear worn but sturdy, a soft idyllic scene of rural life.
Helmut Gransow was born in Chemnitz, Germany and emigrated to Ontario, Canada in 1949. He is a painter, printmaker, draftsman, illustrator and educator making his home in Morin-Heights, Quebec since 1950. Morin-Heights is about 40 miles northwest of Montreal.
Helmut’s most well-known medium is oil paint, however he has a distinguished body of work as a printmaker and early in his career he worked as a magazine illustrator. His numerous other mediums include acrylic, watercolor, gouache, pastel, serigraph, lithograph, woodblock print, etching, ink wash, pencil, chalk, collage and monotypme. His subjects include landscapes, village scenes, rural views, mountains, shorelines, boats, lakes, caricatures, humor, figures, nudes, still life and portraits. Most of his paintings depict scenes in southern Quebec. He has worked in a number of different styles including Realism, Impressionism, Plein Air, Cubism and Fauvism – according to his critics.
His formal art education includes the Crafts School, Chemnitz, Germany (1935 - 1938); the Academy of Fine Arts, Berlin (c.1946 - 1947) under Max Kaus; Werkhaus-Werkschule Merz, Stuttgart (1947); and the Academy of Fine Arts, Karlsruhe, Germany (1947 - 1949) under Wilhelm Schnarrenberger and Otto Laible.

- Henry Wallace Methven "Impressionist Landscape" Water, Trees Summer ReflectionLocated in Detroit, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY Impressionist Landscape" is an exquisitely peaceful late summer scene along the banks of a quiet river. The dappling yellow and green leaves and the spots of blue sky give the perfect impressionistic feel to the scene. Impressionism was a style or movement in painting originating in France in the 1860s, characterized by a concern with depicting the visual impression of the moment, especially in terms of the shifting effect of light and color. Methven captured this impression perfectly. It is as fresh today as when it was painted in 1902 so much so that you can almost hear the rustle of the leaves and see the shifting light. The gold gilt frame is original to the piece. Without the frame the piece measures 20 h x 16 w. It is signed by the artist. Methven was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the 1930's he moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he painted with other area Chicago artists and showed at The Art Institute of Chicago. He spent his summers in Benton Harbor, Michigan, along Lake Michigan. He is known for his landscapes and water scenes. Michigan has numerous rivers, creeks and small lakes and Methven would have had a wealth of scenes to draw upon for his numerous oil paintings. He studied under Henry Fenton Spread who taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and later founded Spread's Art Academy. In 1902, this academy became the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. Spread was named the first president of the Chicago Society of Artists in 1889. Known primarily as a portraitist, Spread also painted landscape and genre scenes. Although a skilled artist, he did not exhibit widely; his primary legacy being fostering a love of art in Chicago. Fellow artist (and former student of Spread), Ralph Clarkson, the noted Chicago society portrait painter, stated that Spread' s "fine and advice formed the careers of the men who were not only to achieve prominence as artists, but to occupy leading places as art teachers".
