George William Sotter 'At The Seaside' ca. 1906

About the Item

We are proud to present this early work by American Impressionist George William Sotter (1879–1953), created during his time at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. This painting is a study copy of a famous work by one of his teachers, William Merritt Chase, titled At The Seaside (ca. 1892). This work is characteristic of the outdoor scenes that Chase originally painted during the 1890s on Long Island beaches. This famous work now on display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Signed lower right, G Sotter. Oil on canvas board. Frame included. Size: 23.4'' x 19.4''. Including frame: 31.1'' x 27.3'' George William Sotter (1879 - 1953) Born in Pittsburgh in 1879 to Nicholas and Katherine Sotter, George William Sotter painted the rivers and mills of that city in his early youth. He apprenticed with several stained-glass studios there prior to becoming a partner in the studio of Horace Rudy in Pittsburgh around 1901. He took leave from the studio and came to Bucks County in 1902, to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts as well as with Edward W. Redfield, the premier painter of the New Hope School. In 1903, he participated in the annual exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He continued his studies at the Academy from 1905 – 1907 under William Merritt Chase and Thomas Anshutz. George William Sotter lived in Holicong, Pennsylvania, near New Hope, in a converted 19th Century stone barn. There, in his studio, he painted landscape scenes of Bucks County, which link Sotter to the New Hope School of American Impressionism, and fashioned stained glass windows that remain extant in cathedrals, churches, and monasteries throughout the country.

Large abstract 'Verticali' sculpture by Italian artist Roberto Cordone, Italy 1972.

The sculpture stands 285cm (112.2 inch) tall, is 101cm (39.7inch) wide on both side and rests on a 116cm (45.6inch) round base. The Verticali sculptures were conceived for the outdoors, anchored to the earth, often in correspondence with the surrounding architecture. They are stainless steel sculptures, larger than life, built by using segments of cylinders and spheres welded together in symmetrical or asymmetrical relationships. Because of their highly polished, reflective metal surfaces, these sculptures reflect the surrounding environment and architecture and are in a constant process of change Roberto Cordone (born 11 April 1941 in Vallecrosia, Liguria) is an Italian artist and sculptor. He has spent most of his career in Cologne, Germany. His most famous art work...
