Leon Dabo
Woodstock After the Rain

1911

About the Item

This is an early work showing the mist still in the air after the rain has fallen. It is nearly abstract in its affect and describes what Dabo was, arguably, best known for: evanescence. Leon Dabo (1865-1960) enjoyed widespread acclaim in a career that stretched nearly a century. He was one of the primary students of Whistler and his work was a “virtual international style by 1910." He was an artist "who created works of decorative and spiritual abstraction that became icons of their age.” (David Cleveland, A History of American Tonalism). Dabo is known especially for his early tonalist landscapes, sublime orientalist florals (often compared to Redon) and later colorful explorations of the French countryside. He was one of the organizers of the Armory Show and exhibited there, as well. Dabo’s work is owned by just about every major museum--Met, MOMA, Musee d'Orsay, Jeu d'Paume, Brooklyn Museum, Montclair Museum, etc. Dabo is the subject of three recent books—on his prints, his pastels and his florals. A fourth, on his landscapes, will be published shortly.
