REGINALD GROOMS "THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED AMERICAN, C.1935 30 X 40 INCHES FRAMED 34.5 X 44,5 INCHES Reginald Grooms is an artist and an educator who has had considerable influence on a number of artists in this community. There is scarcely an exhibiting artist in the area who has not come under his teaching or guidance at least some time during his career. The mental challenge of Reggie's encyclopedic mind in the area of fine arts is appreciated by both the artist and the layman, as evidenced by the crowd in attendance at the Art Forum meetings that he conducts each month at the Art Club. Reginald Leslie Grooms was born in 1900 on Freeman Ave. in Cincinnati. At the age of two his family moved to Elmwood Place. His father was a well known wood engraver who had prepared the engravings for illustrations by Henry Farny for McGuffey's Eclectic Reader. At the age of four Reggie began painting in watercolor. His father use to work with him every Sunday afternoon. At the age of eight he began to paint in oils. All of his paintings were from his imagination. He received only one hour per week of art training while in public school. In 1917, he started studying art full time at the Cincinnati Art Academy. During the 5 years that he attended that school he studied drawing, painting, composition and design under John E. Weis, James R. Hopkins, Herman Wessel, Bessie Hoover Wessel, and William Hentschell. While at the Art Academy he received both the Louise Ingalls and the Fannie Harrison Scholarships. In 1923, Reggie went to Europe to study painting at the Academie Julian in Paris. He studied there for two years under Jules Pages, Henri Royer, and Paul Albert Laurens. While in Paris he exhibited in the Spring Salons of both 1924 and 1925 held at the Grande Palais (with 2 paintings accepted in each show). The New York Times reported that he was the youngest American exhibiting in those shows. Among the fewer than ten percent American students at the Academie Julian with Reggie were Ralph Mayer...

Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) Julie Hyneman at Central Park Oil on canvas 25 x 20 inches Signed lower left Herman N. Hyneman was a noted American portrait and figure painter with ties to both Philadelphia and New York. He was born July 27,1849 to Leon and Adeline Hyneman in Philadelphia. ("Who Was Who in American Art" lists his birth date as either 1849 or 1859, but we have confirmed that the birth date is 1849). Virtually nothing is known about his early years, but given the fact that the family resided in a wealthy section of Philadelphia and the fact that he traveled to Paris to study in the studio of Leon Bonnat when he was but 20 years old, it is presumed that the family was financially comfortable if not well to do. Hyneman exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1879 and 1881, which was quite an accomplishment given his tender age. He returned to the United States in 1882 and after a year in Philadelphia, he established a studio at 58 West 57th Street, New York, NY, where he painted portraits to support himself and scenes of beautiful fair-skinned women walking in the snow to exhibit at major exhibitions throughout the United States. Hyneman exhibited at the the Brooklyn Art Association in 1882, 1883 and 1884 and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1883 and 1888. Beginning in 1882 and continuing up until 1905, he exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design. Despite the fact that he exhibited fourteen paintings at the National Academy over a span of three different decades, he was never elected as a member. In the 1880's his paintings sold for between $100 and $1500, which were substantial sums for that period. Hyneman also exhibited at the Salmagundi Club and the Philadelphia Art Club and was a member of each organization. He won a medal at the American Art Society in 1904 and also exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute. A handwritten label on one of his paintings indicates that he also exhibited in Budapest, Hungary. In 1892, Hyneman married the noted artist Juliet Jolley (aka Jolly), who had previously modeled for him. Thereafter, they shared a studio and on at least one occasion exhibited together. The February 5, 1896 edition of the "New York Times" reported on a "pleasant studio reception" at 58 West 57th Street where the paintings of both Herman and Juliet were shown to members of New York Society including Mr. And Mrs. Edwin Blashfield. At least one of Hyneman's Painting " A Sensation on Wall Street" which depicted a lovely young woman in fur coat with Muff in front of the Stock Exchange, was made into a post card and reproductions of his paintings are known to exist, although not plentiful. At least one etching is known, "Desdemona," which was reproduced in a book by Frederic Stokes. Herman Hyneman...
