"Portrait of a Young Jockey", Vivid, Superb Portrait Painting by Peter Hurd
About the Item
Perhaps the finest portrait we have ever offered, this depiction of a young jockey in 1941, his complexion warm and glowing and his blue eyes echoing the color of his shirt, was painted by Peter Hurd, one of New Mexico's most important artists in the 1930s and 40s. Hurd was born in New Mexico and studied in Philadelphia under N.C. Wyeth. He fell in love with Wyeth's daughter Henrietta, and the newly-married couple settled in New Mexico where he executed a long series of paintings that celebrated the people and landscape there. He also participated in the WPA mural arts program, completing murals in Big Springs and Dallas, Texas, and in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Hurd was an enthusiastic outdoorsman, horse rider and polo player, bringing him into contact with jockeys and others in the world of horse racing. Dimensions include the frame; visible painting is 37.5 inches high by 26.5 inches wide.

- "Summoned Reverie, " Superb Surrealist Painting with Nudes by Ames, 1939By Arthur AmesLocated in Philadelphia, PAPainted in soft, dreamlike colors and depicting a magical landscape of attenuated nude figures dominated by a painter and his muse, this extremely fine Surrealist work was painted by Arthur Ames in 1939. Here he used egg tempera on gesso-finished board -- a favorite medium among painters such as Paul Cadmus, Jared French and others in the 1930s, 40s and 50s -- to create a highly detailed view of an imagined landscape. Behind the central couple and the painting on its easel, there is a retreating woman in a flowing, Classical robe, and in the far distance a couple embracing on a mountain top. Ames was born in the Midwest but studied on the West Coast and became a California artist through and through; he participated in the Federal Art Project, and worked with his fiancée, Jean Goodwin...Category
