    C1900 New England Impressionist Landscape Painting Signed William Merritt Post
    For sale is a beautiful New England Impressionist Landscape painting by the highly regarded American artist William Merritt Post (1856 – 1935). Probably Circa 1900 to 1910 in age. Post was well regarded during his time for his renditions of New England landscapes. He painted in a tonalist and impressionist style which he merged together and often used very similar settings in his landscapes including tall trees open fields and calm quiet meandering streams under cloudy skies. This painting has all of those qualities. Fresh from a Hudson Valley estate in upstate New York. Signed W MERRITT POST in the lower right corner, which is how he signed after 1884. Due to high definition camera the painting is somewhat darker in hue than pictures outside in natural light. Framed in a contemporary but very appropriate arts and crafts Plein air picture frame. The painting may not have ever been varnished. Hard to tell but we dont notice an obvious varnish layer. Surface grime as associated with age. Two non obtrusive pin sized surface paint losses. One area of circular craquelure in the sky. Framed – 19 1/2 x 23 1/2. Canvas – 16 x 20. William Merritt Post (1856 – 1935). Born on December 11, 1856 in Brooklyn, Post was the son of a commodities merchant. His parents separated after sixteen years of marriage and four children, suggesting a troubled home life. Post’s attraction to nature began in the fall of 1879, when an excursion from Brooklyn to a marshy region made Post think, If I were an artist, this region would be one of the first places I would strike out for. Unlike many artists of the day who studied in Paris, Germany and Holland, Post developed his eye for composition, his technical knowledge of the craft of painting and his deft draftsmanship in the artistic community of New York. At the age of twenty-four, he began taking drawing lessons from the relatively unknown Samuel Frost Johnson. By 1880, Post had already begun painting Hudson River pictures on academic board and signing them W. Paintings during this phase were signed W. By 1884, Post was twenty-eight and had launched a career as a landscapist. That same year, the National Academy of Design accepted for its autumn exhibition one of his paintings signed W. This remained his signature for the rest of his professional life. It was in these years that he became greatly influenced by the landscape painter, Hugh Bolton Jones. Both men were attracted to tightly focused landscape scenes, particularly streams amid trees and meadows, and their primary goal was to capture light at different times of day and in different seasons. This predeliction, in turn, drove both artists to excursions outside of New York into the countryside of the marsh towns in New Jersey and on Long Island. It was in the marsh areas of Milburn, South Orange and Nutley, New Jersey that the country stream emerged as an infinitely variable formula to display subtle reactions to a particular aspect of nature. In the 1890s, Post perfected the country stream motif and the evident salability of these paintings no doubt explains how he became financially independent of his father, and it also obliges us to assume that his significance as an artist depended on his vituoso interpretation of this theme to the end of his long life. Post exhibited continually at the National Academy of Design, the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts as well as the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He also exhibited in Buffalo, Chicago, St. Louis and Washington DC (the Corcoran gallery), receiving many awards. Also an active member of the two watercolor clubs that had been established in New York City, Post was later elected an associate member of the National Academy of Design (1910). Post’s era was really the first when American artists could actually make a living from their art. Biographical dictionaries suggest that there were more than a thousand artists living in New York City at the turn of the century. Many landscape artists spent extended periods of time in the coutryside sketching, which Post had done since the early 1880s. In 1906, Post married his wife, Katherine Van Nest. He was 49; she was 36. They had a daughter, Katherine later Mrs. Gardner, three years after they wed. Even though Post became noted for his landscape paintings done in Connecticut, the Posts always kept an apartment in the city. The Posts first summered in Bethlehem, Connecticut around 1908. With the help of New York architects, the Posts completely remodeled the place adding a studio addition in the process. The Bantam River ran westerly at the back of the property. After settling in his West Morris studio, Post began painting plein-air landscapes, and traveled throughout the northeast, collecting landscape motifs in his sketchbooks. Perhaps more so than any other American artist, he was fascinated with country streams and reflections on water, and concentrated on these themes all of his professional life. Connecticut had been attracting landscape painters for decades, but most of them were attracted to the shoreline colonies at Cos Cob, Old Lyme and Mystic and to an Impressionist approach to landscape painting. Post stands apart for his choice of a rural retreat in the northwest hills of Connecticut and his steady exploration of his chosen theme, the country stream. While his peers turned toward the bright palette of Impressionism, he remained committed to tonalist hues and the rich greens that also appealed to his mentor, Hugh Bolton Jones. Those seeking an escape from the increasingly urban New York metropolitan area, rode the Shepaug Railroad, completed in 1872, into the quiet Litchfield colony, where they helped create and preserve an idealized rural lifestyle, a reminder of an America that they feared was rapidly disappearing. This railroad ran only a few miles from Applewood. When at the age of seventy, Post moved back to Manhattan with his wife to be close to their daughter, Post’s only serious professional effort lay in offering two paintings at the National Academy of Design annual exhibitions about 1930. This was later reduced to one painting per year. William Merritt Post died in New York City of heart problems on March 22, 1935 at the age of seventy-eight.

Frame size 30 x 34. A native Midwesterner, William Merritt Chase became one of the more revered figures in American art because of his painting abilities and skills at conveying them to other artists. Described as the “single most important teacher of his generation, perhaps in all of American art education” (Gerdts 135), he was not committed to any one style of painting and basically considered himself a realist. He utilized elements of various styles including Tonalism, Impressionism, and Realism, and his willingness to grow and change with an evolving art world, he aligned himself with progressive groups including the Society of American Artists in New York. William Chase was very much a dedicated plein-air painter, described by art historian Prudence Pfeiffer as the most influential American artist working at the end of the 19th century who painted “en plein aire”. Chase said: I don’t believe in making pencil sketches and then painting your landscape in your studio. You must be right under the sky. (Pfeiffer)Chase was born in Franklin, Indiana to Sarah Swaim and David Hester Chase, and in 1861, the family moved to Indianapolis where he took private lessons from a local teacher, Benjamin Hayes. He then studied art at the National Academy in New York with Lemuel Wilmarth and privately with Joseph Oriel Eaton. He also spent a brief time in St. Louis, Missouri where his teacher was Munich-trained John Mulvaney. Observing his talent, four St. Louis men sponsored a trip for Chase to Munich to learn the then popular bravura style of painting at the Royal Academy. He was there from 1872 to 1878, and distinguished himself with honors and was even offered a position at the Academy, which he declined. His good friends were Frank Duveneck and John Twachtman, a threesome that traveled and painted together in Venice. He set up his studio at 51 West 10th Street, known as the Tenth Street Studio Building, a place that became a model for artists’ studio designs of the time–strong north light, ornate, luxurious, and crowded. A description of that studio is provided by Hammer Galleries: The 10th Street Studio building housed numerous artists’ studio spaces. William Merritt Chase’s studio, which he inhabited from 1878 to 1895, was especially well known its extensive collection of antique and exotic objects. Indeed, Chase modeled his studio’s grand scale and lavish decoration after the great European masters, such as Peter Paul Rubens. He used it as a marketing tool for the benefit of his business as a painter, attracting clients first to the studio and then to his skills as an artist. Chase’s studio attracted considerable attention for its unique and extensive collection of objects. As early as 1879, an article by John Moran in The Art Journal featured a description of the many wonders contained in Chase’s studio. These included, among other things: paintings, musical instruments, Venetian guns, swords, pistols, bugles, Renaissance period furniture, a bronze bust of Voltaire and a large collection of photographs of Old Master paintings. Over time, Chase also formed a significant collection of contemporary American and European paintings which he acquired mostly from artists’ studios, dealers and auctions. This collection, along with his copies after Old Masters, proved to be a source of inspiration for Chase and his students and colleagues. Indeed, Chase’s lavish and treasure filled space left a significant impression on those who saw it. Visitors to the studio related how they were most impressed by the overall harmony of effects, which amazingly managed to come across despite the eclectic mix of decorative elements and paintings. The artist carefully orchestrated and arranged his studio to create a total aesthetic effect. Chase married in 1886, and the couple lived in Brooklyn near Prospect Park, which became a popular subject for his painting and lent itself to his increasing interest in Impressionism. It was “a bit of nature that Chase could record vividly and fleetingly–an urbanized nature with sparkling figures”. He also did much painting of life in Central Park, using plein-air methods. Although he incorporated Impressionism into much of his work, as stated above, he regarded himself as independent without total commitment to any formula. Chase conducted many summer workshops throughout the East Coast and in Europe, with the best known being his school at Shinnecock, an area of beaches and dunes on the eastern end of Long Island. He and his family spent their summers there in a home designed by the architects McKim, Meade and White, and in addition to giving classes in oil and pastel painting, he completed numerous plein-air landscapes of the area. The popular school lasted for twelve seasons beginning 1891, and during this time he reflected his increasing admiration of French Impressionist/Post Impressionist painter Edouard Manet. This influence led to his abandoning dark tonal influences of the Munich School for more colorful plein-air painting and to the increasing use of pastel, which allowed more spontaneity and ease when working outdoors. Chase also painted on the West Coast in Carmel, Monterey, and San Francisco, California. He made his first trip in 1914 and taught summer classes at Carmel. William Merritt Chase died in 1916. That year in a speech at an arts dinner in Washington DC, he said: Life is very short. A beautiful piece that will add to your décor! Please check all the photos.
