Henrietta Shore
Water Carrier
Circa 1933

About the Item

Henrietta Shore’s striking lithograph “Water Carrier,” from a small edition of only 24, reflects the artist’s travels and experiences in Mexico with Diego Rivera, Jean Charlot and others. The print, signed “Henrietta Shore” lower left and titled lower right, measures 8.5 x 11 inches. It is double-matted and handsomely framed utilizing archival materials; framed dimensions are 14.25 x 16 inches. With the aid of Lynton Kistler, her supportive Los Angeles lithographer, Shore experimented with creating small editions of prints having designs meaningful to her, and “Water Carrier” is one such lithograph. Henrietta Shore had a style all her own which, from early in her career, has been cherished by collectors. A contemporary of Georgia O'Keeffe, Shore produced work that often was more highly regarded than O’Keeffe’s in instances when the two exhibited together – but it took decades for Shore to be recognized as one of California's most inventive avant-garde artists. From her early focus on metaphysical imagery, to her later works – which have been termed a visual dissection of nature that gave their subject matter a visceral, anthropomorphic guise – Henrietta Shore’s paintings and prints contain an intriguing mix of bright luminosity and coldness, realism and mystery. While offering a highly original palette, her work reflects her friendships with such luminaries as Edward Weston and Robert Henri without ever being derivative. Shore stopped dating her work after 1913, hoping to prevent the public from categorizing it into artistic periods – a reflection of her belief that life and art are a continuum. Born in Toronto, Canada in 1880, Shore trained there as an artist, as well as in New York City and London – where she became the only private pupil of John Singer Sargent. Shore moved to Los Angeles in 1913, remaining there until 1920, when she began traveling through North America. Shore associated with such important artistic figures as Rivera, Orozco and Charlot on her travels in Mexico, and was also a confidant of Edward Weston, who was influenced by Shore in his photographic work. Shore settled on the Monterey Peninsula in 1930, establishing a studio and working there until illness late in life sent her to a San Jose sanitarium. She would work deliberately on several canvases at once – setting one aside for a few months to let it "mature," and returning to it later. Henrietta Shore passed away in San Jose, California in 1963.
