American Art — September 19, 2024 American artists have historically not only captured our changing landscape and society but, through their travels, have exposed the public to exotic and sometimes treacherous lands. This season-opening American Art auction begins with meditative landscapes from the nineteenth century, such as Edmund Darch Lewis’s Fisherman Along Chester Creek, Mount Joy, 1867, and moves to the stormy coasts of New England with paintings by Frederick Judd Waugh. John Marin’s ethereal watercolor of the Hudson River Valley and Glenn O. Coleman’s cacophonous Arrangement each show the diversity of the landscape within the local New York region. Traveling outside of the United States, the intrepid Martin Johnson Heade’s 1863 voyage to South America produced a wonderful painting of lush Brazilian fauna. On another hemisphere, Rockwell Kent’s well-known expeditions to the Arctic will be explored in this sale, as among our offerings are Sailor’s Farewell, 1935, a touching portrait of a departing Greenlandic sailor, and an autograph book featuring sketches by Kent from his voyage to Igdlorssuit, Greenland.
