About the Item
Signed lower left
Landscape and figure painter William Partridge Burpee was born in Rockland, Maine on April 13, 1846. As a young man, he was educated in Rockland schools and in the Kents Hill Academy in Readfield, Maine. He exhibited a great deal of interest as a youth in painting and drawing, In the late 1870s, he studied with marine painter, William Bradford (1823-1894). Burpee's early work of the 1880s reflects Bradford's influence as well as other painters such as Martin Johnson Heade, Fitz Hugh Lane, Frederic Edwin Church, A. T. Bricher and F. A. Silva.
After briefly advertising himself as an artist in the Rockland City Directory in 1882, Burpee appeared that year in Boston. By September 1, 1885, he was painting figures on Lynn Beach, Massachusetts, between Nahant and Swampscott in a style that now reflected the influence of French painting particularly Eugene Boudin and Emile Louis Vernier. He showed life of the beach with children at play, dorymen, lobstermen, netmenders, women waiting for the return of the boats, clamdiggers, and drying and folding sails. He began exhibiting in Boston in 1881 (Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics Association) and soon became a regular exhibitor (1890) and a member (1894) of the Boston Art Club. Until his trip abroad, Burpee maintained a position in bookkeeping and accounting.
In 1897, Burpee, age 51, left Boston to tour Spain, Italy, France and England by bicycle. It was with this trip that he was able to quit his non-art employment. He returned to the United States in 1899 and the next year spent the summer in Holland, where he discovered pastel. At the St. Louis Exposition, in 1904, he received a bronze medal in this medium. That same year, many of his paintings were burned in a fire in the Harcourt Studio Building in Boston, but he was a productive worker, and did approximately 800 paintings after this tragedy.
He also exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia; Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; Corcoran Gallery, Washington D.C., the American Watercolor Society, the L. D. M. Sweat Museum (now Portland Museum of Art), in Maine; the Boston Society of Watercolor Painters and the Copley Society, Boston.
Burpee's paintings may be seen in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Springfield, Massachusetts; Rockland Public Library; Cheekwood, Nashville, Tennessee; Columbia Museum of Art, Columbia, S.C.; Louisiana State University Museum of Art; the William A. Farnsworth Museum, Rockland, Maine; and the Portland Museum of Art, Maine.
D. Roger Howlett wrote two books about the artist. "William Partridge Burpee: American Marine Impressionist" and, in 1994, "The Lynn Beach Painters: Art Along the North Shore 1880 - 1920".
Burpee last lived in Boston in 1913. By 1914, he was back in Rockland, Maine. From 1927-1933, he divided his time between Rockland and East Orange, N.J. He died in Rockland in 1940

His art was surrealistic dentally inspired plus portraits and city landscapes. **************************** Translated from an article by Luana Hrisanti Rigot: "In 1956, at the Charlotte Norberg Gallery (Paris), he presented his first personal exhibition, composed of an ensemble of surrealist paintings of professional inspiration (dental elements).

- Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)By Jane ChapinLocated in Cody, WYThis is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...Category
