About the Item

William Jean Beauley Great Kills, circa 1917 Signed lower right Oil on panel 40 x 50 inches Housed in its original Newcomb-Macklin gilt frame Provenance: The artist Henry Reinhardt and Son R.H. Love Galleries, Chicago Private Collection, Ohio Exhibited: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, February 4 - March 25, 1917, no. 302. Art Institute of Chicago, Annual American exhibition [of] paintings and sculpture, 1918, no. 15. New York, Henry Reinhardt and Son. Chicago, R.H. Love Galleries, A Selection of American Paintings, 1977, p. 60, illustrated. Literature: Fine Arts Journal, “An Exponent of Truly American Art,” Vol. 36, No. 4, Apr., 1918, pp. 26-33, illustrated. "Another splendid canvas is Great Kills which glows with a beauty, that would make the reputation of any man as a colorist. The sunlight on the snow is so magically convincing and to observe at close range the broad white splashes with which this effect has been achieved is to realize the meaning of the word genius. There is nothing else that can be mixed with paint which would account for this phenomenon." - Fine Arts Journal, 1918 Born in Joliet, Illinois, William Beauley became a New York City architect and artist. He began his career in Chicago, working for several architects in the early 1890s for the World's Fair. After the Fair, Beauley studied in France under Maurice Yvon, architect of the French government. In Paris, he associated with painters, and began sketching with them, which led to a life-long interest in painting. In New York, he studied at the Chase School with Robert Henri. He was a member of the Architectural League of New York (where he also won an award for his artwork in 1912), the Salmagundi Club, the American Art Association of Paris and the Philadelphia Art Club. During the New Deal in the 1930s, he was registered as a WPA artist. Two of his paintings are in the collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Art.
