Philip Little Paintings

American, 1857-1942
Philip Little was born in Swampscott, MA September 6th , 1857 the son of James Lovell and Julia Augusta Cook. He attended M.I.T. intending to go into business until contracting Typhoid Fever (1875-1876). From 1877-1880 he attended Lowell School of Design at the Institute of Technology and worked in lithograph department of Forbes Lithograph Company of Boston. From 1881-1882 he and Frank W. Benson were students at Boston's Museum School and the following year he exhibited for the first time at the Boston Art Club (April-May) and married Lucretia Shephard Jackson. Little and Benson lived at 2 Chestnut Street, Salem (MA) beginning in 1886 and they were neighbors in 1931. Little was influenced by the work of Frank W. Benson as much as Benson was of his impressionistic canvases and two often painted outdoors together. From 1887-1901 Little served in the Massachusetts National Guard attaining the rank of General with the Second Corps Cadets. Civic minded, little he was elected to the Salem Board of Aldermen (1892, 1893), was a member of the School Board (1898-1912) and the Essex Institute. Little actively exhibited throughout the U.S. and Europe and he maintained close ties to all the members of the Boston school of painting. His light-filled landscapes and scenes of New England harbors and wharves, Green Island (Sheepscot River), Maine storms and boating parties, trout streams and lobster fishermen are close in style to that of his life long friend Frank W. Benson. Art Critic A.J. Philpott called Little “one of the best landscape painters in America.”

"Viareggio, Italy" Impressionist, Landscape, Watercolor painting, framed

By Nelson H. White

Located in Sag Harbor, NY

"Viareggio, Italy" is an impressionist watercolor painting of a beautiful seaside city just outside the hills of tuscany in Italy. Nelson H. White was born in New London, Connecticut in 1932. White has been surrounded by art and artists from the time he was born. He received his earliest art instruction from his grandfather, Henry Cooke White (1861-1952) and his father Nelson Cooke White (1900-1989), both important American artists. The family lived in Waterford, Connecticut and the elder White had been an early member of the art colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Known for his paintings of the Connecticut landscape and shoreline, Henry Cooke White became a teacher to his son, Nelson Cooke White. Living with his parents at the Florence Griswold house in Old Lyme, he met some of the most important and influential artists of the day, Childe Hassam, Will Howe Foote and Harry Hoffman. Later, Nelson White's father began to take his family to summer on Shelter Island and became friendly with many of the artists of the Peconic colony such as Irving Wiles, an important American impressionist. After graduating from the Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts in 1951, Nelson H. White began to study at Mitchell College in Connecticut but left to pursue studies in the violin, musical theory and composition. At this time, he began to spend more time studying art with his father and grandfather. By 1955, Nelson H. White had decided to devote himself to a career as a painter and traveled to Florence, Italy to become an apprentice to Pietro Annigoni, the world-renowned Florentine master. Within two years, the young White had won two awards for his work. While in Florence he also studied with the great Italian teacher, Nerina Simi. Today, White divides his time between the United States and Florence. Although he has received instruction from some very important artists, White's work is highly individual. He paints with great spirit. Upon seeing his work one quickly senses White’s great love for nature and the outdoors. Through his eyes we are able to view and interpret nature in an intimate manner. Whether Nelson H. White is painting the Connecticut shore...
