About the Item

Northern Colorado Landscape by Henry Read (1851-1935) Oil on panel image 15.5x11" framed 24x18" (original frame) Signed "HR" lower left Landscape in greens and blues, depicts evergreen trees and a dirt path with mountains in distance with white clouds across a blue sky Originally purchased in 1985 from the Western Sugar Cooperative by a company vice-president when the company shut down years ago. They were inherited by the consignee who now wishes to sell them. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Born in England in 1851, Henry Read moved to Denver in 1890 to recover from tuberculosis and in 1893 was one of 13 founders of the Denver Artist’s Club, the forerunner of the Denver Art Museum. Read opened his Students’ School of Art in Denver in 1895 and would count among his students Elisabeth Spalding, Waldo Love and Allen Tupper True. After working in locations less than ideal for an art school, in 1910 Read commissioned architects Maurice B. Biscoe (1871–1953) and Henry H. Hewitt (1875–1926) to build a structure at 13th Avenue and Pearl Street specifically designed for training students in the fine arts. In 1932 Vance Kirkland would first rent and later purchase this building to house his own Kirkland School of Art and after relocation the building stands today as part of Kirkland Museum. In addition to teaching, Read was a practicing artist and designer: he created the official seals of the City and County of Denver in 1901 and the University of Colorado in 1908 and was instrumental in the development of Denver’s Civic Center through his work as president of the Denver Art Commission. English-born artist Henry Read (1851–1935) commissioned architects Maurice B. Biscoe (1871–1953) and Henry H. Hewitt (1875–1926) to design the studio & art school building, originally at 1311 Pearl Street, for his Students’ School of Art. Biscoe first came to Denver to supervise the construction of Saint John’s Episcopal Cathedral (14th & Washington, begun in 1904). Although both were trained in the Beaux-Arts style, the studio building is in an Arts & Crafts style. Among the best known of the Biscoe and Hewitt collaborations are the Clayton College for Boys (Martin Luther King Jr. & Colorado Boulevards, 1909–1911) and gold magnate Guilford Wood’s mansion (later Helen Bonfils’ home, 707 Washington Street). Read was one of the 13 founding members of the Denver Artists’ Club (1893) which later became the Denver Art Association (1917) and then the Denver Art Museum (1923). Kirkland recounted that Read and other members used their homes and the studio & art school building for meetings of the Denver Artists’ Club from 1911 until 1922, when this organization was deeded Chappell House (1300 Logan, razed 1970).

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike...
