About the Item

WILLIAM REUBEN CLARK WOOD American, 1875–1915 A noted scenic landscape painterOil pastel on paper by the American artist Leon Dolice. Signed lower right. Condition is excellent. The painting appears from my research to be the Banker’s Trust building completed in 1917 in New York City. The building still stands today with landmark status. In original Art Deco frame. Overall 18.75 by 14 inches. Condition of frame is very good to excellent. W.R.C. Wood - as he signed his name - was born in Washington, D. C. in 1875. He was a pupil of Samuel E. Whiteman (1860 - 1922), an earlier Baltimore artist. William Wood regularly spent summers on Prudence Island in Narragansett Bay off Rhode Island. He also was an avid supporter of the arts locally, being a member of numerous organizations: the Charcoal Club, begun in 1885, who held monthly meetings and also maintained an art school; the Baltimore Water Color Club, begun in 1892, of which he was also President for a time; and the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore, begun in 1899, that was "founded by a group of private citizens who desired to improve the public environment of the city." The artist also exhibited with the Baltimore Art Club in 1905 thru 1907. He died at his home of many years - 2034 Park Avenue - in Baltimore in 1915.
