About the Item
Wilson Henry Irvine, born on February 28, 1869, and passing away in 1936, was a distinguished American Impressionist painter renowned for his captivating landscapes.
Initially, Irvine's artistic journey began near Chicago, where he honed his skills at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Despite this early association, his artistic prowess transcended geographical boundaries as he ventured across Western Europe, adeptly capturing the essence of its countryside through an American Impressionist lens.
Hailing from a lineage of Illinois settlers, Irvine's artistic flair emerged early on. After graduating from Rockford Central High School, he delved into the realm of artistry at the Chicago Portrait Company before pursuing formal education at The Art Institute of Chicago.
During his formative years, Irvine's fascination with both subject matter and artistic technique burgeoned. Notably, he became a pioneer of the airbrush medium, a novel artistic tool at the time. His proficiency with the airbrush paved the way for his endeavors as an illustrator and graphic designer in Chicago.
Simultaneously, Irvine nurtured his passion for painting, ascending through Chicago's art circles. He furthered his artistic education at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago, where he immersed himself in night school for over seven years. The Institute became a steadfast supporter of Irvine's work, showcasing his pieces and even granting him a prestigious solo exhibition during the 1916-1917 holiday season.
In the pursuit of artistic inspiration, Irvine frequently journeyed to the East Coast, particularly Massachusetts and Connecticut, exhibiting his affinity for New England scenery. However, it wasn't until 1914, at the age of 45, that Irvine permanently relocated to Old Lyme, Connecticut, a pivotal moment that cemented his legacy within the Florence Griswold circle and the broader American Impressionist movement.
Throughout his career, Irvine remained committed to experimentation, exploring new artistic techniques such as "aqua prints" and "prismatic painting." His artistic evolution earned him accolades, including election into the National Academy of Design as an Associate Academician in 1926.
Despite his profound impact on American Impressionism, Irvine's oeuvre extended beyond the confines of his homeland. His European sojourns in 1908, 1923, and 1928-29 yielded remarkable examples of American Impressionist landscapes infused with a unique perspective inspired by the French Impressionist masters.
Tragically, Irvine's illustrious career was cut short by a cerebral hemorrhage in 1936. However, his artistic legacy endures, with his works adorning prestigious institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago and the Florence Griswold Museum. Irvine's mastery of light and texture continues to captivate audiences, reaffirming his status as a luminary of early 20th-century American Impressionism.

- 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
