20th Century
About the Item
This piece is a playful depiction of a beach house scene of the ocean, sand, and view of a house with its garden with joyful colors and precious details, representing a pertinent example of Martha Walter's most iconic landscapes. Her use of the pallet is effortless with bold brushwork, strong executions, and soft details. Walter's was in the same league as many established and well-known men painters of her time such as Monet and Degas. For her work to be accepted on their same caliber was almost unheard of during the early 20th Century. This piece exhibits this caliber, as her technique shines with confidence and beauty. This painting is in excellent condition, displayed in a beautiful wood frame with UV-protective glass.
Art measures 9.25 x 11 inches
Frame measures 20.75 x 22.5 inches
Martha Walter was an acclaimed American Impressionist painter, and one of the premier female artists to be recognized within the fine arts community of the time. Known for her bright plein air beach scenes and domestic portraits, she studied under William Merritt Chase and was greatly influenced by the then-established French Impressionists Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, and Eugène Boudin. Walter's works took on a looser style; she also used black paint, a color often excluded by other Impressionists.

Martha Walter
Walter was born in Philadelphia in 1875. She enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where she studied under William Merritt Chase, who became her primary mentor. At his insistence, she entered a number of Academy student competitions and eventually won a prestigious Cresson Traveling Scholarship in 1908. This award enabled her to travel throughout Europe, where she continued her art education at the Grande Julien in Paris. Soon disenchanted with the academicism of the Parisian schools, Walter set out on her own and began producing plein-air paintings in the manner of the French Impressionists. At the outbreak of World War I, she returned to the United States and took up painting at various East coast beach resorts such as Coney Island and Gloucester. In her beach scenes of this period, colorful bathing suits, gowns and umbrellas punctuate a tranquil, pastel surface. Her expertise in the treatment of light and shadow is evident in her depictions of these settings at various times of day.
In 1922, she spent some months painting the thousands of immigrants kept in the detention hall at Ellis Island. The dreadful, crowded conditions inspired a group of paintings that were exhibited that year in the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris. One was selected for the permanent collection of the Musée de Luxembourg. An exhibition at the Art Club of Chicago in 1941 featured a group of watercolor paintings inspired by the artist's travels through Spain and North Africa. These works were intensely colored visions of such subjects as Algerian street scenes, mosques and Spanish fishermen.
Walter worked well into her nineties, continuing to paint portraits of women and children, beach scenes, gardens and marketplaces. Before her death in 1976, she had exhibited widely, and her works are included in major national and international private and public collections. Hammer Galleries had several exhibitions of her work during her lifetime, the last taking place in 1975 when the artist was one hundred years old.
