Henry Soulen Art
American, 1888-1965
(Phoenixville, Pennsylvania 1888 - 1965)
Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 12, 1888, Henry James Soulen was a noted illustrator. He attended the Art Students League in Milwaukee, the Art Institute of Chicago, and later studied under the celebrated teacher, Howard Pyle, the founder of the Brandywine School. He also studied with N.C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, and Jessie Wilcox Smith.
An illustrator for the "Saturday Evening Post," Henry Soulen began his career in May, 1912. He also worked for other publications including "Country Gentleman" and "Ladies Home Journal" and earned a Peabody Award for his magazine cover designs. He was known for his use of intense, brilliant color at a time when many illustrations were in black and white.
He was a thorough researcher and eventually collected a large and varied collection of costumes, weapons, and other objects that he used in his drawings. At age 62, he became a college professor at the University of Maryland and taught the first illustration that art department offered. During World War II, he gave free art lessons at the Valley Forge Military Hospital, a rehabilitation center for veterans.
The artist made his home between Phoenixville, Pennsylvania and Oceanville, Maine, until he died in 1965.to

"Natalie's" - Plein Aire Pastoral Landscape in Pastel on Sandpaper
Serene plein aire landscape with cows by Clive R. Tyler (American, b. 1958). This composition depicts a farm in Fort Collins, Colorado, with a large white barn at the top of the hill. There are several cows grazing in a bright green pasture. A partially broken fence is directly in front of the viewer - a symbol of the artist's desire to portray the realism of the scene, including imperfections. This piece is executed on sandpaper, a trademark of Tyler's work.
Signed "CL Tyler" in the lower left corner
Signed, notated, titled, and dated on verso (see photo).
Presented in a silver colored frame.
Frame size: 11.25"H x 14"W
Paper size: 9.5"H x 12"W
Clive R. Tyler (American, b. 1958) studied Fine Art and Design at Kent State University (Ohio) with a double major and was awarded a Bachelor of Fine Art degree. Twenty years later after a successful design career, he is now known as one of the best Pastelists on a national level.
