About the Item
A finely detailed trompe l’oeil oil painting of a horse bridle and photographs on a stable door by Canadian American artist Ernest Albert Land (1918-2006). Land was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. His family moved to New York City when he was three years old, and by the time he was nine, he had already decided on his life's work. His enormous natural talent pointed into the direction all his schooling was to take, until interrupted by World War II. During his military service in which he served as an ensign, he traveled extensively to most countries of the world. This included two secret expeditions to the North Pole in 1941, the Invasion of Casa Blanca, the invasion of Cherbourg and the invasion at Normandy Beach.
After his discharge in 1945, he returned to his easel and the task of making his place in the art world. His first painting in the realistic vein was accepted by Grand Central Galleries in New York City. It received recognition by the art critics and led to his life membership in that gallery. His first solo show in New York in 1954 was soon followed up by many more exhibitions throughout the country, bringing him numerous awards for his work. His techniques of super realism and trompe l'oeil greatly enhance his rendition of the strangeness of our time, where reality seems to exist beyond the third dimension. Yet with all his seriousness his work has a light and whimsical touch.
His work is included in the collections of Kress, French Co., American Telephone and Telegraph, IBM, Boston College, Grumbacher, Lederle Laboratories, Andrew Mellon, Coca Cola, Co. , Equitable Life Assurance, Aldophe Menjou, Hildegarde, Steinway Co., and Serge Rubenstein.
