About the Item

Beautiful landscape by German/American artist John M. August Will. Oil on canvas, appears to have been painted during a trip to France. Signed lower left. Small hole in the canvas pictured, center left. He was born in Weimar, Germany and immigrated to the New York City and New Jersey region when he was a young man. Although he always signed his paintings simply with the name, August Will, his full birth name was John M. August Will. Will settled in Jersey City, where he remained until his death. Little is known about Will's early life. However, it is known that Will enjoyed success as a well-known local artist who created illustrations for the Century Company in New York City as well as one who instructed students in his Jersey City studio. Working with the mediums of pen and ink, watercolors, and pastels, Will produced a large body work that consisted of portraits, landscapes, marine scenes, and city scapes. His work captured the unique era and epoch of his time and location. The single largest collection of his works—more than 350 pieces—was in the permanent collection of the Jersey City Museum in Jersey City, New Jersey until 2018, when the entire body of his work held by that museum was donated to the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, the state university.

In the fall 2023 she will teach a workshop at a castle in France, where artists will stay and enjoy the southern French food and scenes. I paint because it’s the best way I know to communicate, study, and observe creative work that’s how Texas painter V…. Vaughan (the first initial stands for Virginia) describes her drive to create fine art. “It’s a calling,” she says of her life’s work, which has taken several twists and turns but has, nevertheless, led her down the path toward fulfillment. A lifelong Texan, Vaughan grew up in the Austin area and today makes her home in Round Rock, a suburb of the capital city. As a child, she exhibited a love of making art and played the role of the creative one among the seven children in her family, eventually working for several of her siblings as a sign painter and designer. Her parents forever encouraged her to appreciate and mine her passion, instilling in her that it was not simply a passing fancy, but an innate gift. “It was always conveyed to me that this was a God-given talent,” she says. Somehow that made me feel like it was something I was supposed to do. It gave me permission to pursue it. Vaughan attended college on an athletic scholarship, though she filled her schedule with art classes and subsequently secured an internship at an advertising agency. That introduction to the corporate world set her off in a new direction—she left school to parlay the summer job into a full-time position. She continued to work as a commercial artist for many years after that, winning several prestigious ADDY Awards and working on high-profile accounts for Samsung, the Lady Bird Johnson...
