Born in Adelaide, Australia, Richard Hayley Lever traveled to Europe in 1893 where he studied art in Paris and London. He eventually settled in the artists’ colony on the seacoast of St. Ives in Cornwall, and his views of the Cornish coastline, executed in the loosely stated “English Impressionist” manner, brought him substantial recognition in Europe. In 1908, he first encountered the work of Vincent Van Gogh, whose bold, rhythmic style came to influence Lever’s paintings from that time forward.
Lever moved to New York City in 1911, reportedly at the suggestion of the American painter Ernest Lawson, whom he might have met in Paris in 1893. Both artists shared a love of painting cityscapes and the countryside and both developed a spontaneous, daring method of working. Lever soon became friends with those in Lawson’s circle, including Robert Henri, William Glackens, John Sloan and George Bellows, and they exhibited together at the Whitney Studio Club, Macbeth Gallery, and Kraushaar Gallery.
Concarneau (Quatorze Juillet), executed before Lever moved to the States, is one the brilliant harbor scenes he painted in and around St. Ives, Cornwall, where he lived (Concarneau is directly across the English Channel). Lever's distinctive style of bold color and strong lines reveal the influence of Vincent van Gogh. The contrasting color of the thickly applied paint create a dynamic physical surface that enliven the already energetic composition. Lever wrote, "Art is the re-creation of mood in line, form and color. If I were confined to my own back yard for the rest of my life, I'd still have more pictures in my mind than I would have time to paint. Art is nothing but having a good time." Indeed, there is joyful playfulness to Lever's paintings, and this depiction of Concarneau is the artist at his best.

Richard Hayley Lever
An Australian by birth, Richard Hayley Lever left his native Adelaide at the age of 17 to train as an artist in Europe, and his work soon won attention in London and Paris. In 1900 he was introduced to the St Ives Club by fellow Australian Louis Grier, and he married Aida Gale in the town in the same year. Working closely with Grier and with Julius Olsson he maintained St Ives as a base, while also painting marine subjects along the southern coast of England and in Brittany. In 1912 Hayley Lever move to New York and took American citizenship. His paintings of the Hudson Valley, Vermont, and Nantucket secured an international reputation.
