Fred Nagler
Fred Nagler, (Sheep under a Tree)

1925, about

About the Item

The etching (Sheep under a Tree) is signed in pencil and annotated (in lower margin) '3rd State, 4 proofs, JN imp.' in pencil. It's in an usually spare drawing style but one that Nagler did use occasionally. This picture is the embodiment of calm. One wants to be quiet while in that field. There are very minor stains in the margins. Massachusetts-born Fred Nagler studied at the Art Students League from 1914 to 1917, with George Bridgeman and Robert Henri, and eventually became a member of the Board of Control. He taught at the Connecticut College for Women, and after the death of Grant Wood, the University of Iowa State, and also the Eastman School of Art. He worked in New York State and in Texas.
