About the Item
Julius Bloch (1888-1966) German/American painter - Lovely Still Life Oil on Canvas.
Created in the 1920's, this lovely work features a Chinese Tray with Blue and White Pottery and fruit. It is in good condition for its age but does show some small old repairs to the verso.
It rests in a beautiful vintage frame that is in good condition.
The work measures 30"h x 25"w. The frame is 34 3/8"h x 29 1/4"w.
the work is signed lower right “Julius T. Bloch” and dated 1924.
Julius Bloch (1888-1966) had a natural empathy for working people, whom he captured in moving portraits. He was born in Kehl, Germany in 1888 and emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1893 when he was age five. They settled in North Philadelphia, and had little money, but his mother, seeing his art talent, encouraged him to follow that path. She seems to have been the dominant influence in his life, and he made many portraits of her.
Bloch lived with his family on Uber Street in North Philadelphia for most of his life. He trained at the Pennsylvania Museum and School and later at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he was greatly influenced by the legacy of Thomas Eakins. By the end of the 1930's, Julius Bloch would be transformed from an unknown Philadelphia painter to a social realist with a national reputation.
Bloch's compassionate identification with the suffering of innocent people naturally drew him to the Black community, which was faced with racial discrimination. Powerful images of lynching in his work of the 1930s were followed by sympathetic portraits of Black community leaders.
He worked regularly at his studio at 10 South 18th Street from early in the morning until around 4:00 in the afternoon. He was never successful at earning much money from his artwork, but was supported by two sisters, Ellen Winsor and Rebecca Winsor Evans. They became his patrons and built him a home and studio in the countryside and gave him regular financial support. He also earned money from teaching and from other patrons in Philadelphia society, which allowed him to spend summers in Woodstock, New York and to travel in Europe.
In 1962 he learned that the Pennsylvania Academy no longer wanted his teaching services. It is said that his forced retirement from there at age 74 crushed his spirit and left him even more financially strapped. In 1966, he died of a massive hemorrhage. He left his artwork to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
