Frank S Herrmann Art
1866-1942
An American, who was best known in Germany, where he spent most of his career, Frank Herrmann created work that embraced Beaux-Arts Academic Realism to Impressionism to the New Objectivity. He was a founding member of two important groups of the German avant-garde centered in Munich, the Munich Secessionist Group, SEMA, that included his friend, Paul Klee and the New Secession of German Artists that was led by Wassilj Kandinsky. Herrmann was also closely associated with Alfred Stieglitz with whom he had gone to school including college and he became a leading avant-garde art influence in New York City. They traveled together in Paris during the 1890s in Europe. In Germany, Herrmann painted early in the style of Lyric Abstraction using primarily gouache. In 1895, he settled in Munich and remained there for the next 24 years. There, he earned a reputation for his impressionist landscape paintings and was dubbed the tulip field painter. Herrmann became a central figure among German expressionist painters and other intellectuals, holding weekly meetings of these people at his mansion. Having been one of the few Americans to remain in Germany during World War I, he returned to the United States in 1919 and lived the last part of his life in his family mansion in Elberon, New Jersey. Herrmann also traveled including to Lake George at the invitation of Stieglitz and O'Keeffe and west, where he visited California, Arizona and New Mexico. He allowed his work only limited exposure in the United States but at age 61, he had a solo exhibition in New York City at Babcock Galleries. Herrmann's primary representative was J.B. Neumann's New Art Circle and his work was usually grouped with New Objective painters that included Max Beckmann. Herrmann had a daughter, Eve Herrmann, who was an expatriate caricaturist. Very prolific, producing thousands of works, he often signed his work J.S. Herrmann. Many of his paintings were destroyed during the World Wars.

'Early Morning River Landscape, ' by Harry L. Hoffman, Oil on Canvas Painting
By Harry L. Hoffman
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
In this gilt wood framed oil on canvas waterscape, American Impressionist artist Harry Hoffman depicts the last moments of a morning sunrise over a river in predominant hues of lavender, purple, pink and blue. The sky is reflected in the water below with a sandy brown beach and large green tree in the foreground.
Harry Leslie Hoffman was born in Cressona, a small community in Pennsylvania’s Schuylkill Valley. His mother was an amateur artist who encouraged her son to pursue a career in the arts. In 1893, Hoffman entered the School of Art at Yale University and studied with John Ferguson Weir, the son of Robert Walter Weir. After graduation in 1897, Hoffman moved to New York to continue his studies at the Art Students League. He also traveled to Paris and took classes at the Académie Julien.
In the summer of 1902, Hoffman attended the Lyme Summer School of Art, in the town of Old Lyme on the Connecticut coast. The school was headed by Frank Vincent Dumond and was located in a boarding house owned by Florence Griswold. The school eventually grew into an artists’ colony and a center for American Impressionism. When Hoffman first arrived as a student, he was not permitted to stay in the house which was designated for the professional artists only. However, his outgoing personality soon won him many friends at the colony.
In 1905, Hoffman settled in Old Lyme and worked as a full member of the artist colony. He was particularly influenced by Willard Leroy Metcalf, an Impressionist also working in Old Lyme. Fellow artists later fondly recalled Hoffman’s antics at the Griswold house, which included playing the flute and banjo, tap-dancing, singing humorous songs, and performing magic tricks. In 1910, Hoffman married another Old Lyme artist named Beatrice Pope, and the couple had one child in 1921.
Hoffman and his wife often escaped New England during the harsh winter months. In the winters of 1914 and 1915 he traveled to Savannah, Georgia with fellow Old Lyme artist William Chadwick...

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Frank Stella used a variety of techniques. The American artist eschewed sketches for his paintings and often used nontraditional materials, like house paint. In 1960, he began introducing color into his work and using unconventionally shaped canvases to complement his compositions. Following a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1970, Stella began working in three dimensions, adding relief elements to paintings, which could be considered wall-mounted sculptures. Stella’s 1970–73 “Polish Village” series was inspired by documentary photographs and architectural drawings of Polish synagogues that had been destroyed by the Nazis during World War II. The resulting works — composed primarily of paint and cloth on plywood — are more rugged and less polished than his previous series. Herman Melville's Moby-Dick was Stella's muse for a series of three-dimensional works he created in the 1980s in which waveforms, architectural elements and Platonic solids played a prominent role. During this period, Stella embraced a new, exuberant style exemplified in his piece La Scienza della Fiacca. In addition to paintings and sculptural works, the artist also produced prints using lithography, serigraphy, etching and offset lithography techniques. Explore an assortment of Frank Stella art on 1stDibs.
