About the Item
Beautiful early landscape by American artist, Will Howe Foote (1874-1965). Bermuda Landscape, ca. 1890-95. Oil on on textured cardboard panel, measures 14 x 18 inches. Original attribution label affixed en verso. The piece is unframed.
The piece dates from the artist's earliest experiments with painting, prior to academic study. The family in known to have wintered in warm climates, and the piece commemorates what must have been among Foote's first encounters with both Bermuda and painting.
Curatorial notes:
Stylistic clues suggest no exposure to Impressionism or American academic conventions of the time. This points to a date prior to 1894.
There is no evidence of an electrified Bermuda in the image: no pole or wires. Electricity came to Bermuda 1904.
The use of cardboard as a support instead of a more substantial material is consistent with the idea of a young, novice artist working in a tropical climate.
Condition:
All original condition with no cleaning or conservation. Surface grime. Surface loss in lower right corner. Minor paint loss in area above horizon line at center. A scar impression created in wet paint appears in foliage area lower left. This is not a scratch or damage created subsequent to dry paint.

Comments: An Old Lyme artist, Foote was an Impressionist but experimented with subject matter and technique; consequently, he destroyed most works he considered not to be among his best. Teaching: ASL; asst. to Frank DuMond, Old Lyme Summer School Art. Often spent his winters in warm climates, including the Caribbean, Mexico, and the American southwest. He made several trips to Bermuda between 1916-32.
Born into a prosperous family with ties to the burgeoning furniture business in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Foote was encouraged to pursue his interest in art. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and later the Art Students League in New York. In 1897, he sailed to London with his father and two art friends (one of whom was the noted American Impressionist Frederick C. Frieseke) and later traveled to Paris where he enrolled in the Académie Julian.

A man with strong academic art training, Harry Hoffman was judged by his peers to have done best with his landscapes when he painted what he saw and set aside the theories. He studied in Paris, worked at Yale University with John Ferguson Weir, and was a student at the Art Students League with Frank DuMond. But Willard Metcalf had the strongest influence, encouraging Hoffman to paint in the style of impressionism.
In 1902, Hoffman went to Old Lyme, Connecticut, and stayed at the Florence Griswold...
