Inez Dunnick SmithVintage American Pennsylvania Farm Landscape; Signed Oil on Canvas, ca 1940’s
About the Item
Inez Dunnick Smith was a Pennsylvania artist who was active in the York area. She was born in 1902 and died in 1987. Smith was known for her landscapes, portraits and still lifes.
This work is one of her best and most artistic, in my humble opinion. It depicts a farm property that is rendered in a modernist leaning style with a colorful palette typical of the 1940’s. Her use of pinks and yellows along with red, brown, green and blue makes for a lively scene. Although mainly post-impressionist, there are clearly modernist techniques such as planes and color shapes that tend to fracture the painting in a subtle manner. The summer scene is complete with cows, stream, barns and a variety of landscape elements. It is signed lower right, into the wet paint at the time of creation.
The oil on canvas measures 18” x 24” and is housed in a stained wood frame of its period. The painting has been professionally cleaned and relined with very minor inpainting in spots. The frame may very well be hickory and measures 21 1/2” x 27 1/2” overall. It is very solid and has more weight than expected. The overall painting shows very well with bright colors and a pleasing period palette.

- Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)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
