Ernest Parton Art

American, 1845-1933

Landscape painter Ernest Parton was born in Hudson, New York in 1845. His brothers Arthur and Henry were also landscape specialists. Ernest Parton came of age as an artist at a time when a great shift was taking place in American art, and his works are a perfect example of the bridge between the Hudson River School style and early American Impressionism. As a young man, Parton studied art in England and exhibited at the Royal Academy in London. He lived with his wife in St. John’s Wood in northern London until 1932, occasionally returning to the United States. Parton formed close relationships with fellow artists Theodore Robinson, John Singer Sargent and Daniel Ridgeway Knight. Parton’s painting style is closely aligned with the Barbizon and tonalist styles. Parton showed his work in the Paris Expositions of 1889 and 1900, the Paris Salons of 1892 and 1894, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and at the National Academy of Design between 1866 and 1897. Parton's works are held in numerous private collections and public institutions in the United States and in Europe, including the Victoria & Albert Museum and Tate Gallery, London; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Reading Public Museum, Pennsylvania; and the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.

"Being There" Original Oil Painting by Robert White, Frameless Display

Located in Encino, CA

“Being There,” an original oil on canvas by Robert K. White, is a piece for the true collector. White’s careful attention to detail and vivid use of browns and reds project from the painting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention and highlighting the artist's keen ability to capture emotion and life - all in a brushstroke. White's talent for depicting light and shadow provides the foundation for him to deliver subjects and scenes to the viewer's eye. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for cityscapes, theater, and architecture. In the artist’s own words, “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head. I’ll make the decision right then and there to paint that particular subject during that particular moment. It’s a perfect moment. Once something has caught my eye and I’ve heard the “perfect” click, it’s like a photograph has been taken in my mind’s eye. I only have a few days of clarity with that image. I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone and I will lose that image forever.” Artist: ROBERT KENNETH WHITE...
