Hobson Pittman Art

American, 1899-1972
Born in Epworth, North Carolina, Hobson Pittman moved with his family to Tarboro, North Carolina, in 1906. From 1912 to 1916 he attended the Rouse Art School in Tarboro. He moved to Pennsylvania in 1918, and attended the Pennsylvania State College (1921-22) and the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh (1925-26). Between 1920 and 1931 he spent summers in Woodstock, New York, and studied chiefly with Albert Heckman (1893-1971). From 1931 to 1957 Pittman was the director of art at the Friends' Central Country Day School in Overbrook, Pennsylvania, and from 1949 to 1972 he taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Pittman was member of the Woodstock Art Association, the Philadelphia Water Color Club, and the Philadelphia Art Alliance, and he exhibited at innumerable galleries and museums, including the Pennsylvania Academy, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Post-Impressionist Oil Painting of Freshwater Fish on White Plate

By Edouard Arthur

Located in Genève, GE

Dimensions with frame: 44 x 57 x 5 cm. Signed and dated "Arthur 48" in the lower left corner. A striking and modernist still life depicting three freshly caught fish arranged on a white ceramic platter beside a simple kitchen knife. Executed with confident, textured brushwork and a restrained palette, the composition transforms an everyday subject into a powerful study of form, color, and materiality. The artist emphasizes the tactile qualities of the fish through thick impasto and nuanced earthy tones, contrasting beautifully against the luminous white tablecloth and the deep, almost abstract dark background. The dynamic placement of the fish creates a subtle rhythm across the composition, while the pared-down setting recalls the directness and honesty of early 20th-century European still life painting. Influenced by Post-Impressionist and modern realist traditions, the work balances painterly spontaneity with careful observation. The expressive handling of paint and simplified composition evoke the spirit of French and Continental modernist still lifes of the early to mid-20th century. An elegant and sophisticated still life ideal for collectors of European modernism, culinary subjects, and expressive figurative painting. still life painting, fish still life, modernist still life, Post-Impressionist painting, European still life, fish painting, culinary still life, kitchen still life, French still life painting, School of Paris, expressionist still life, oil on canvas still life, impasto painting, rustic still life, seafood painting, market fish painting, tabletop still life, knife in still life, modern European painting, figurative still life, early modernism, painterly still life, collectible still life art, Continental painting, expressive brushwork, white plate still life, food still life painting...
