Victor Gabriel Gilbert Figurative Paintings
French, 1847-1933
Victor Gilbert's natural ability as an artist was recognized early, but his family lacked the financial resources to send the young man to the École des Beaux-Arts. Rather than enrolling in the École, Gilbert was apprenticed to Eugene Adam as an artisan painter and decorator. His only formal education was evening classes with Pierre Levasseur at the École de la ville de Paris.
Perhaps it was his early immersion into la vie quotidienne that formed the basis for his later choices of subject matter for his art, that of the markets and streets of Paris.
Despite his lack of formal training, Gilbert's admissions to the Paris Salons of 1873 and 1874 were very well received by audiences and critics alike; at this time he was supported by the dealer Paul Martin, who was an important proponent of the Impressionist movement.
Gilbert emerged in the early 1880s as the primary Realist painter to record the French marketplace. He achieved considerable success, while firmly establishing his reputation, at the 1880 Salon when he obtained a second-class medal, critical acclaim and a state purchase for his painting entitled A Corner of the Fish Market, Morning.
His oeuvre is punctuated with very large canvases depicting the various sections of the largest marketplace in Paris, Les Halles. His painting styles encompassed both the naturalist manner of the late nineteenth century and the vibrant technique of plein-air light and brushwork that emerged in his paintings of the early twentieth century.
He was honored with a gold medal in 1889 and the Bonnat Prize in 1926. His reputation was confirmed by his nomination to the Legion d'Honneur in 1897.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...
