Henry Cooke White Paintings
American, 1861-1952
Henry Cooke White in Hartford, Connecticut. His career in art was founded at the age of 14 after meeting the famous American Tonalist painter, Dwight William Tyron. The two became lifelong friends, and White even wrote Tyron’s major biography, The Life and Art of Dwight William Tyron (published in 1930). In the late 1880s, Tyron pushed White to move to New York City to further his artistic training at the Art Students League. During this time, White studied under many talented artists including Kenyon Cox, John H. Twatchman and William Merritt Chase. From 1896–97, White spent time traveling in Europe. Upon his return to the states, he began to spend most of his time in Connecticut, following his favorite painting seasons. Spring in Hartford was followed a week later by spring in Old Lyme, and then finally at Waterford. He would experience his favorite seasons three times over each year. Once immersed into Connecticut’s community, White was encouraged to paint habitually in Old Lyme where an art colony was developing, beginning in the spring of 1903. Inspired by European artists, including Claude Monet, and Pierre Auguste-Renoir, the Old Lyme Art Colony defined American Impressionism by memorializing the serene qualities of rural New England life through the use of vibrant palettes and broken strokes on wood and canvas. The Colony comprised upwards of 200 artists during its three decades of creating nature-based scenes in oils and pastels such as Frederick Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf and Henry Cooke White amongst the rest. Henry C. White had come to be known for his paintings, pastels and etchings of the Connecticut landscape. The Old Lyme Art Colony has been described as one of America’s most distinguished art colonies. In 1910, he founded the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts and stayed active with the group until late in his life. He continued to paint into his early 80s and died during his 91st year in Waterford in 1952.

"Oak in Spring" 1930 American Impressionist oil painting, oak tree landscape
By Henry Cooke White
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
"Oak in Spring" is a 1930 American Impressionist oil painting of an oak tree landscape.
Painted en plein-air, in an almost pointillist style, H.C. White depicts a classic Connecticut landscape. A Tall wiry tree stands as the focal point, having just bloomed its first leaves; foliage still thin enough to outline every single branch. Reds and browns scattered throughout the foreground connote autumn leaves that had yet to be cleared.

William Henry Blackman (American, b. 1930) was born in San Diego, CA in 1930. He spent most of his early years in West Los Angeles. Blackman began painting at age 12. In high school he majored in art so he could experiment with various mediums to find ways to interpret his ideas. In December of 1948 he joined the Navy and was stationed in Hawaii. He studied at Woodbury College where he learned advertising and graphic arts.
In 1960 he bought a home with his wife Shirley in the San Fernando Valley and worked as an advertising manager. His position put him in contact with art directors and they would lunch together and then visit various art galleries in the area. He began oil painting again as a hobby.
In 1964 he made an important contact through an associate at his agency. This person was a vice-president at Aaron Brothers Galleries and purchased paintings for them. They had showrooms in various major cities and sold original framed paintings to art galleries and furniture stores. He said they could possibly sell some of his seascapes so Bill began painting in his spare time. Gradually, they sold more than he could produce so Bill made the decision to leave the advertising business and devote his time to painting. Note: the original Aaron Brothers Art Galleries Certificate included with the painting.
In 1965 the Blackman's moved to Thousand Oaks, California. He began his career as a fine artist and to this day resides in Thousand Oaks. He contracted with Aaron Brothers to be his exclusive agents and began specializing in seascapes. After a few years he added landscapes and some other subjects. Bluebonnet landscapes...

Provenance:
Louis H. Barnett, Fort Worth, Texas
In 1905, Gerrit Beneker began his art career as an illustrator. He married Flora Judd, his high school sweetheart from Grand Rapids and they moved to Brooklyn, NY. Gerrit's early passion was to create an art that would inspire and provide honor to the workingman. As such, he had no interest in painting portraits of pretty women, which were so often seen on the magazine covers of the day. Rather he wanted to seek out workingmen on the bridges, tunnels and skyscrapers of NYC, and paint them in their environments. He completed over 150 magazine covers, numerous ads including many for Ivory Soap...

Autumn Landscape
By Henry Cooke White
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Painted en plein air, in Connecticut. A foreground slanted upwards towards a hilltop is speckled with small boulders. Light hit's a plateau of grass covered with orange and yellow leaves. Pale, skinny trees stand tall, as the focal point of this scene, preparing to hibernate until spring. A thick white painted background connotes a crisp autumn sky.
