About the Item
Oil on board painting of cows in a landscape by the American artist, James Fairman. Signed lower right. In good condition; overall framed size 16.5 by 20 inches.
James Fairman was an itinerant landscape painter whose work covered the expanse of the United States as it swelled to tremendous proportions. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Fairman emigrated to the United States with his family at the age of six. He studied at the National Academy of Design ten years later and went on to serve as a colonel in the Civil War, an art instructor in New York City (where one of his students was George Herbert McCord), and a lecturer at Olivet College in Michigan; additionally, he was a musician and noted critic.
Over the course of his impressively varied career, Fairman traveled the world, painting landscapes from the lakes of Maine to the valleys of California and beyond: his subjects included the Orsini Palace in Venice, the White Cliffs of Dover, the Mediterranean coast at Jaffa, and the monuments of Jerusalem and Palestine. His extensive wanderings rendered him a multifaceted expert on the American terrain, one who played the role of frontiersman, naturalist, and educator, in addition to that of artist.
Fairman exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Brooklyn Art Association, and the American Institute; today his paintings are featured in the Hudson River Museum and the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts.

Overall framed measurements are 6 5/8 by 8 5/8 inches. lProvenance: Long Island, New York collector. Biography John William Casilear was born in New York City on June 25, 1811. Like his fellow Hudson River School landscapists Asher B. Durand and John F. Kensett, he worked as an engraver before turning to painting. In 1826 Casilear was apprenticed to the engraver Peter Maverick (1780-1831), and at first he primarily executed bank notes. Durand encouraged him to attempt other subjects, however, and during the 1830s he madeengravings after some of the most prominent paintings of the day, including Daniel Huntington's The Sybil (New-York Historical Society). In 1832 he began submitting engravings to the National Academy of Design exhibition and he first showed paintings there in 1836. In 1833 Casilear was elected an Associate of the Academy; he was elevated to full Academician status in 1851. In 1840 Casilear accompanied Durand, Kensett, and another painter, Thomas P.
