An original black and white graphite drawing by modernist artist, Ross Braught (1898-1983), with nude figures in a landscape with trees. Presented in a custom frame with archival materials and Museum Glass (UV Protection/Anti-reflective), outer dimensions measure 25 ¾ x 33 ½ x ¾ inches. Image size is 20 x 27 ¾ inches. Painter, lithographer and draftsman, Ross Eugene Braught was called "the greatest living American draftsman" during his lifetime by his friend and colleague, Thomas Hart Benton. The son of an artist who had acquired some formal training in Baltimore and enjoyed a short-lived art career in Carlisle, Pennsylania, Braught graduated Carlisle High School where his early drawings of trees anticipated his mature, professional talent. He went on to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, studying with Joseph T. Pearson, Jr., and with Daniel Garber, American Impressionist landscape painter and member of the art colony at New Hope, Pennsylvania. Garber’s influence can be seen in Braught’s painting, Landscape near Upper Black Eddy (1921). In 1921 the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts awarded Braught its prestigious William Emlem Cresson Memorial Traveling Scholarship, allowing him to travel, study and paint for two years in England, France and Italy. Two extant paintings from that trip are his Brittany Village (1922) and an Italian Landscape (1923). Following his return to the United States he married Eugenia Osenton, and the couple lived for five years in Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania, a secluded place of peace and beauty on the Delaware River north of Philadelphia. During that time he participated in exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, as well at the National Academy of Design and the Society of Independent Artists in New York. In 1925 he had his first one-man show at New York’s Dudensing Gallery. He also showed in the 1920s with the Mystic Art Association in Connecticut and painted in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He and his wife moved in 1928 to Woodstock, New York, where he became a member of the local art colony. Both of them had prior connections with some of its resident artists - his wife from Robert Henri’s circle at the Art Students League and both of them from Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney’s popular sketch club in New York which they had attended. In Woodstock Braught developed his interest in lithography through his association with lithographer Grant Arnold...
