Philip Wilson Steer Art

British, 1860-1942

Philip Wilson Steer was born at Birkenhead on December 28th, 1860. He was the son of Philip Steer, a painter of portraits and a teacher of painting. The Steer family moved to Apsley House, Whitchurch, Monmouth, when Wilson Steer was three years old and he lived there for 17 years attending the Hereford Cathedral School and, when he was about 18, he was studying drawing and painting under John Kemp at the school of art at Gloucester. He failed to enter the Academy Schools and went to Paris in 1882, studying first at Julian’s under Bougurean and later, in 1883, at the Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel. He exhibited two works at the academy: Fantaisie, the head of an Italian girl and Discovery, a painting of a woman with a mask, which the artist later destroyed. The grafting of French Impressionism on English stock has, perhaps, been Steer’s chief contribution to art in paintings from Wilson, Gainsborough, Turner and Constable and has been worthily continued to our days. It is interesting that the real impetus towards this only came to him later than his residences in Paris in 1882–83, through the exhibition at Dowdeswell of the works of Monet, Pissarro and Renoir. As a result of the French training of British artists, Scottish and English, in 1886 the New English Art Club, of which Steer had been for more than 30 years a cornerstone, was inaugurated, Steer contributing one oil painting, Andante.

Summer Landscape with Farmhouse and Horses, Impressionist Drawing

Located in Stockholm, Stockholm

This summer landscape with horses grazing in a paddock under the rays of the sun beside a rural farmstead is a finely executed drawing in brown, signed lower right by Swedish female artist Ester Almqvist (1869-1934). A winding path leads the viewer into the composition, where buildings, fences, and vegetation define a cultivated countryside. Two horses stand quietly within the enclosed field, their forms rendered with spare yet assured lines. Above them, the sun shines from a clear sky, its rays spreading outward in rhythmic, hand-drawn strokes that cover all of the sky. The composition is built through a lively and vibrating pen line, where hatching and linear repetition create both texture and luminosity. The warm sepia tone unifies the scene, while the expressive draughtsmanship conveys a sense of immediacy and presence. The motif is elevated through a distinctly personal interpretation of landscape and light. Ester Dorothea Almqvist was born in 1869 in Bromma, Stockholm and died in 1934 in Lund, south Sweden. She emerged as a significant figure in Swedish art at the turn of the twentieth century, initially associated with the National Romantic movement, before later contributing to the introduction of modernist tendencies in Sweden through a highly individual synthesis of Neo Impressionist and Expressionist elements. Her early life was shaped by a religious and intellectually engaged environment. Almqvist lived her entire life with a physical disability caused by a spinal deformity, which limited her mobility but did not prevent her from pursuing an artistic career. Following her mother’s death, Almqvist broke with her earlier environment and relocated to Skåne, where she would spend the greater part of her professional life. The landscapes of southern Sweden became central to her artistic production and provided the basis for many of her most characteristic works. Her artistic education began at Tekniska skolan in Stockholm (1888–1891), where she received foundational training in drawing and design. She continued her studies through private lessons with the history painter Gustaf Cederström, but chose not to apply to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Instead, she pursued further training at Valand Art School in Gothenburg, where instruction was led by prominent artists such as Carl Larsson and Richard Bergh. She also studied for a period at the Konstnärsförbundet’s school (Artists' Association), under the guidance of Per Hasselberg and Bruno Liljefors...
