Hillside pastel by Allen Tucker
By Allen Tucker
Located in Hudson, NY
Hillside (1918) Pastel on grey paper 8 ½"x7 ¾" 23 ½" x 19 ½" x 1 ½" signed "Allen Tucker March 1918" lower right. Provenance: Gift from the artist to his friend Una Brage, USA/Switzerland, in the 1930s. Estate of Ms. Brage to her friend Jean Corbett Peck, daughter of architect Harvey Wiley Corbett. By descent to her daughter About this artist: Allen Tucker, was an architect and painter so influenced by Vincent Van Gogh that he was called "Vincent in America". (Gerdts 291) Robert Henri and Maurice Prendergast were also credited as having an influence on Tucker's brushwork and compositions, the latter decisively. However, as his painting evolved, he did not fit into any tidy slot for description and was known as an individualist not easily categorized in American art history. Tucker was born in Brooklyn in 1866 and graduated from the School of Mines of Columbia University with a degree in architecture and took a job as an architectural draftsman in the architectural firm of McIvaine and Tucker, his fathers business. During that time, he studied painting at the Art Students League with Impressionist John H...
