Irving Ramsey Wiles Art
American, 1861-1948
Irving Ramsey Wiles, born in Utica, New York, renounced his original plan of becoming a violinist to become a painter instead. After having completed his studies in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, he began his art training at the age of 17, first learning the basics from his father, Lemuel Maynard Wiles, whose studio was on Washington Square Park. Having showed considerable talent and skill at an early age, the young Wiles exhibited at the National Academy of Design just one year after he began painting. His mature style, however, began to flourish under the tutelage of established and esteemed American painters, William Merritt Chase and James Carroll Beckwith, with whom he studied at the Art Students League from 1879 to 1882. Wiles was greatly inspired by Chase’s style and skill, and their relationship developed into a great friendship.
Wiles went to Paris in 1882 where he was a student of Carolus-Duran, Jules Lefebvre, and Boulanger at the Academie Julian before returning to New York City in 1884. For several years it was necessary for him to work for Scribner’s, Century, and Harper’s magazines in order to make ends meet as he was unable to support himself from portraiture alone. In 1897 Wiles was elected to the National Academy Design and was finally able to devote more time to his figurative and portrait paintings. He was widely commissioned by important clientele, including Theodore Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan. Although Wiles was known and esteemed for portraiture, he painted landscape and and still lifes as well, always working in a blend of Impressionism and realism, styles he had adopted from his training in both the United States and France.to

Scottish Impressionist landscape with Geese in a farmyard with trees, hay bales
By William Miller Frazer
Located in Woodbury, CT
Outstanding Scottish landscape from the late 19th to early 20th century
oil on canvas.
Born in Scone, Frazer would participate in the growth and development of Scottish landscape painting during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Long desiring to compete with the artistic endeavors of England, Scotland was making sure to make its mark, investing heavily in its artists. Indeed, Frazer would attend the acclaimed Royal Scottish Academy to receive his art education, intended to compete with English schools such as the Royal Academy in London. When his studies were complete, he would then base himself out of Edinburgh as he pursued a professional career. Edinburgh was and remains, the art capital of Scotland, and there was no place better for budding artist to plant their roots.
Frazer’s work is a prime example of the growing influence of impressionism on Scottish landscape art...
