About the Item

A fine New Hampshire landscape by American artist Hermann Dudley Murphy (1867-1945). Murphy was born in Marlboro, Massachusetts, in 1867. After studying at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School in 1886 with Otto Grundmann and Joseph DeCamp, he worked as a mapmaker for the Nicaraguan Canal Survey. The project, which laid the groundwork to build a canal across Central America, was ultimately discarded by Theodore Roosevelt in favor of the Panama Canal. In the late 1880s and early 1890s, Murphy was an illustrator for magazines such as Harper’s and Scribner’s, but he decided to devote himself to painting in 1891, studying for the next five years at the Académie Julian in Paris with Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. During his stay in Paris, Murphy came to know and admire the work of the great expatriate painter James Abbott MacNeill Whistler, whose abstract tonal paintings greatly influenced Murphy’s style. Murphy also acquired Whistler’s taste for designing frames that complemented his paintings, and after he returned to the United States, he partnered with Charles Prendergast in a highly successful frame business. Settling in Boston, Murphy painted elegant portraits, poetic landscapes, and exquisite still lifes in an Impressionist style. He also devoted time to teaching, first holding classes on Cape Cod in 1899, and then taking a position at Harvard, where he continued to teach for 36 years.

"Winter Scene, " George Gardner Symons, Snowy Hill Landscape, Pennsylvania
By George Gardner Symons
Located in New York, NY
George Gardner Symons (1863 - 1930) Winter Scene Oil on canvas 20 x 25 inches Signed lower right Provenance: Private Collection, St. Louis, Missouri William A. Karges Fine Art Gallery, Carmel, California Private Collection, Washington A landscape and marine artist, George Symons was one of America's more noted plein-air painters who combined styles of impressionism and realism. His works are cited for their energy and simplicity, and he often did panoramic views. He was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1861, with the name of George Gardner Simon, but he changed his last name to Symons when he returned from study in England because of concern about anti-semitism. Not much is known about his early life. He first studied at the Chicago Art Institute where he became a close, life-long friend of William Wendt. They painted together in California and then in Cornwall, England in 1898. He also studied in Paris, and Munich and London, and joining a colony of artists at St. Ives, adopted the plein-air techniques of Julius Olsson, Adrian Stokes, and Rudolph Hellwag. He worked in Chicago as a commercial artist, and about 1903 returned to California with Wendt and built a studio in Laguna Beach and became active in western art societies including the California Art Club. He returned often, but maintained his primary studio...
