Frederick Smallfield, ARWS Watercolor Titled "Waiting"
About the Item
An intriguing and well-painted watercolor, gouache and graphite on paper depicting a cavalier with a dagger, lying in wait, signed and dated lower left "F. Smallfield 1862", titled lower right "Waiting". This evocative picture was probably painted as a book illustration. Smallfield (English 1829-1915) was a very well-known painter in his time who trained at the Royal Academy Schools in the late 1840's and was named as an Associate of the Watercolor Society (AWCS) in 1860. His works show a Pre-Raphaelite influence and were admired by John Ruskin. He continued to exhibit works at the Royal Academy until the late 1870's. Smallfield's work is found in various regional museums including the Manchester City Galleries, The Royal Institution of Cornwall and the Atkinson gallery in Southport. His drawings are in the famous Victoria and Albert museum. The piece is nicely framed in a burl walnut moulding with a French matt.

- Robert McChesney Watercolor Titled "Investigators"By Robert McChesneyLocated in Phoenix, AZImpressive watercolor by California Abstract Impressionist, Robert McChesney (1913-2008). The painting is in excellent condition and measures 21 x 15 inches. The frame is 31 x 24. A label is seen on the verso with the title: "Investigators," and "From the Okinawa Series #47." Signed lower right. McChesney was a wonderful painter and this work is from his best period in my opinion. Post-War California artist, Robert Pearson McChesney became an Abstract Expressionist painter, assemblage artist, printmaker, sculptor and teacher. He was born in Marshall, Missouri, and with the exception of a year in Mexico, 1951, and World War II military service aboard a ship, he spent his career in California where he moved in 1936. He lived and had his studio north of San Francisco in Petaluma, atop Sonoma Mountain. Considered one of the "progenitors of Bay Area abstract expressionism", he had influence far beyond his home town. Exhibition venues were in New York at the Whitney Museum, Chicago at the Art Institute and San Francisco at the Museum of Modern Art. He studied at Washington University School of Fine Arts in St. Louis, Missouri from 1933-1934, and the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles from 1936 to 1937 with Fred...Category
