George Biddle
Banana Grove

1928

About the Item

George Biddle (1885-1973), Banana Grove, lithograph, 1928. Signed, titled and numbered in pencil [also annotated in the plate “Biddle/1928, lower right “47). References: Pennigar 81, Trotter 47. In excellent condition, the full sheet, on cream wove BFK RIVES paper, with their (partial) watermark. 12 1/2 x 9, the sheet 20 x 16, archival mounting (non attached mylar hinging between acid free board, glassine cover). A fine fresh rich impression in pristine condition. After Groton, Harvard College and Harvard Law (and several breakdowns) Biddle decided that a conventional career in law was not for him; he decided on art, went to Paris, worked with Mary Cassatt and familiarized himself with modernist currents in art (as well as more traditional European art). After his service in WWI, and the dissolution of his marriage, he became interested in working outside of the European tradition (although his travels continued to include Europe, and he spent a period working under the influence of Jules Pascin in Paris in the mid-20’s). Banana Grove reflects the time he spent with Pascin, in terms of the freedom of the composition, and the suspension of the figures on a flat surface. It was made in 1928, the year Biddle traveled to Haiti with Diego Rivera.

  • Benicasim
    By James McBey
    Located in New York, NY
    James McBey (1883-1959), Benicasim, etching, 1911, signed in ink and numbered lower left margin [with initials, title and date in the plate]. Reference: Hardie 96, only state, edition of 40. In very good condition, with wide margins (cut irregularly at bottom, tiny loss upper right corner), 5 5/16 x 8 3/8, the sheet 9 x 11 1/2 inches, archival matting. A fine, delicately printed impression, printed in black ink on cream laid paper. Benicasim is a small Spanish town a few miles north of Valencia. In McBey’s etching it appears beautiful, isolated and remote; today it is built up, the site of a famous pop music festival. McBey was of course a student of Rembrandt, and compositionally Benicasim may be referencing Rembrandt’s Three Trees.

    By Peter Sculthorpe
    Located in Union City, NJ
    HEARTLAND is an original hand drawn, limited edition lithograph by Peter Sculthorpe (b.1948 Ontario, Canada) printed using hand lithography techniques on archival Arches paper, 100% acid free. Dark grey snowy skies set the scene in HEARTLAND with its finely detailed drawing depicting a rural winter landscape in Bucks County, Pennsylvania featuring historic stone farm houses, a weathered wood barn, wood spoke wheeled wagon, cows and bare trees standing in the snowy landscape. Painterly washes, subtle tones of greys, browns, black, yellow, light red. Peter Sculthorpe's paintings are well known for their true to life depictions of rural stone barns, color changing shadowy skies, snow covered landscapes, cows, horses, lone figures that capture the countryside and stone architecture of the Brandywine Valley in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Trained at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, Peter Sculthorpe’s painting style is detailed and precise, his masterful use of watercolor as choice medium gives his paintings a remarkable, natural feeling.
