About the Item

Point Lobos, California Oil on artist's board, c. 1925 Signed lower right: Wm J Edmundson (see photo) Condition: Very good condition Frame: Period McBeth Gallery style frame (see photo) Cleaned by Monica Radecki, South Bend Provenance: Private Collection, Cleveland William John Edmonson (1868-1966) William John Edmondson was born in Norwalk, Ohio. He was interested in art throughout his childhood and traveled to Paris to study at the Academie Julian with renowned French figure painter Jules Lefabvre. William John returned to the United States to complete a degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and after four years he once again traveled to Paris, this time to study at the Aman-Jean Academy. Upon his return to the states, William John soon developed a reputation for portraiture and painted several prominent figures in turn-of-the-century Cleveland. He also liked to paint landscapes and often traveled West to paint. Edmondson's style is marked by abundant use of color and his remarkable patterns of light and dark. William John's work was shown at the Cleveland Museum of Art and he was awarded with the Penton Medal for Excellence from CMA in 1919. His work has also been showcased at art institutes in Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Detroit, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Indianapolis.

    Rocky Inlet (France) Oil on canvas, relined, c. 1915 Signed: K A Buehr, lower right (see photo) Created during the artist's time in Giverny and Normandy Exhibited at Robert Henry Adams Fine Art, 1994, the first exhibitiion at the North Franklin Street Gallery. Provenance: Gift of the artist to his wife, Mary Hess Buehr The artist's niece, daughter of Will Hess David Saltzman Robert Henry Adams Gallery Condition: Craquelure to the paint surface (normal with aging of 100 years) Relined Canvas size: 11 1/8 x 14 1/4 inches Frame size: 16 x 19 inches “Karl Albert Buehr (1866–1952) was a painter born in Germany. Buehr was born in Feuerbach - near Stuttgart. He was the son of Frederick Buehr and Henrietta Doh (Dohna?). He moved to Chicago with his parents and siblings in the 1880s. In Chicago, young Karl worked at various jobs until he was employed by a lithograph company near the Art Institute of Chicago. Introduced to art at work, Karl paid regular visits to the Art Institute, where he found part-time employment, enabling him to enroll in night classes. Later, working at the Institute as a night watchman, he had a unique opportunity to study the masters and actually posted sketchings that blended in favorably with student's work. Having studied under John H. Vanderpoel, Buehr graduated with honors, while his work aroused such admiration that he was offered a teaching post there, which he maintained for many years thereafter. He graduated from the Art Inst. of Chicago and served in the IL Cav in the Spanish–American War. Mary Hess became Karl's wife—she was a student of his and an accomplished artist in her own right. In 1922, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member. Art Studies in Europe In 1904, Buehr received a bronze medal at the St. Louis Universal Exposition, then, in 1905, Buehr and his family moved to France, thanks to a wealthy Chicago patron, and they spent the following year in Taormina, Sicily, where the artist painted local subjects, executing both genre subjects and landscapes as well as time in Venice. Buehr spent at least some time in Paris, where he worked with Raphaël Collin at the Académie Julian. Giverny and American Impressionism Prior to this time, Buehr had developed a quasi-impressionistic style, but after 1909, when he began spending summers near Monet in Giverny, his work became decidedly characteristic of that plein-air style but he began focusing on female subjects posed out-of-doors. He remained for some time in Giverny, and here he became well-acquainted with other well known expatriate America impressionists such as Richard Miller, Theodore Earl Butler, Frederick Frieseke, and Lawton Parker. It seems likely that Buehr met Monet, since his own daughter Kathleen and Monet’s granddaughter, Lili Butler, were playmates, according to George Buehr, the painter’s son. His other daughter Lydia died before adulthood due to diabetes. He returned to Chicago at the onset of World War I and taught at The Art Inst for many years. One of his noted pupils at the Art Institute was Archibald Motley...
