Jay Hall Connaway"Sea Burst, " Monhegan Island, Maine Coast, Jay Hall Connaway, impressionist oil
About the Item
Although born in Liberty, Indiana in 1893, Jay Hall Connaway was fascinated by coastal life and marine scenery, an attraction that had profound effects on his life and artwork. After periodically studying at the Art Institute of Indianapolis and at the Art Students League with William Merritt Chase, Connaway traveled throughout the United States, taking labor-intensive jobs as a railroad worker, a doryman in a fishing fleet, and a cook at a remote lumber camp. He volunteered for active duty in World War I and, after sustaining an injury, continued to help with the war effort as a cartographer and medical draughtsman. The talent he displayed at these jobs led him to undertake further study in Paris at the Academie Julian and École des Beaux-Arts.
Following his studies, Connaway decided to focus on painting and eventually settled on Monhegan Island, a place he and his family inhabited year-round from 1931 until 1947. His work was featured in an unprecedented 85 one-man shows, evidence of his successful and widely renowned career as a skilled sea painter. His works are held in private, corporate and public collections throughout the United States, including at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Herron Gallery, Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida, Indianapolis Center for Contemporary Art, William A. Farnsworth Library and Art Museum in Rockland, Maine and the Monhegan Museum.
The impressionist oil, "Sea Burst," by Connaway captures a dramatic moment as the surf crashes against the ledges along Monhegan Island off the Maine coast.
