Oliver Foss Paintings
French, 1920-2002
Oliver Foss studied at the Lycée Pasteur, Lycée Janson-de-Sailly, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts under Paul Colin and Jean Théodore Dupas and with George Bridgman at the Art Students League of New York. Following his studies, Foss traveled to New York City where he worked with Maria Annot and Ruth Jacoby, who organized his first one-man exhibition at the Riverside Museum. Foss also exhibited at the New School for Social Research, the world's fair in 1964, National Arts Club and Alma Reed Gallery, among others. Foss moved to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania where he taught fine arts at the Elizabethtown College until 1949 when he returned to Paris and settled into an atelier in Villa des Ternes. In 1951, Foss had a one-man exhibition tour of the United States showing in New York City, Boston, Palm Beach and Philadelphia. In 1953, he had a career-changing exhibition at the Galerie Drouant-David on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris that drew wide praise and promoters for international exhibitions that led to one-man shows in Paris, New York, Italy, Switzerland and Germany.

Pilgrims Waiting at the Gate, Women in the Arts, Hope and Wisdom, Oil, Nature
By Jeanie Tomanek
Located in Houston, TX
Pilgrims Waiting at the Gate shows that flowers, birds and snow are symbols for emotional states or story elements. Dogs sometimes accompany the pale bald “Everywoman” protagonist on her journeys that often take place beneath a starry moonlit sky. She has been called a mythic artist, telling ancient stories that never grow old. Pilgrims are beneath the Moon approaching the Gate as seen in Pilgrims at the Gate in the oil painting on canvas.

Even when they are in a quandary or in danger, I always try to show a glimmer of hope and wisdom—that they will solve the riddle and make it through, stronger and with dignity.

She is also a published poet and her paintings have appeared as cover art for literary journals and poetry collections. Recently her painting “Thoreau’s Pumpkin” was included in the Hudson River Museum...
