NOTE: According to the Catalogue Raisonné: The present lot was exhibited at PAFA in 1945 and received the show's Popular Prize, the last of the artist's paintings to win a popular vote at a major exhibition. Possibly painted as early as 1940, "Lone Sycamore" is the last of a series by Garber depicting this particular tree, beginning with "The Sycamore" executed in March of 1925 (cat. P 505). An etching based on this painting (cat. E 56), which was never taken beyond the proof stage, was also based on a drawing made from the oil (cat. D 325). Daniel Garber is a leading figure of the Pennsylvania Impressionist group, well-known and loved for his large-scale landscapes of the Bucks County, Pennsylvania and the Delaware River Valley area, but also for his figural compositions. Having won a Cresson Travelling Fellowship from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts early in his career, he traveled to England, France, and Italy from 1905- 1907 where his own artistic style began to emerge, characterized by the representation of sunlight and the use of a broad spectrum of colors. Upon returning to the States, Garber enjoyed a long and successful career as an artist, his work garnering numerous awards and recognition both locally and internationally. This includes several gold medals from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he also came to have a celebrated tenure as an art educator for forty- one years. Recognized not only for his oils, Garber worked in other media as well, as preparations for his paintings and as a forum to explore new compositional groupings and innovations. He regularly exhibited oils, drawings, etchings, and pastels - a testament to his esteem of these media. The current lot is an excellent example of the artist's superb rendering of a panoramic landscape. The sycamore as a subject was revisited numerous times by Garber, speaking to its significance in his oeuvre. The present painting reveals Garber's mastery of the relationship between light and shadow, and by extension his reverence for nature as one of America's greatest artists of the early 20th century..

  • Painting America Painting
    Painting America Peter Hurd (Roswell, NM, 1904–1984) Evening in the Sierras 1938–39 Egg tempera on gessoed panel NA diploma presentation, February 3, 1947 Hurd studied privately with N. C. Wyeth, the well-known American realist painter, father of Andrew and Henriette and grandfather of Jamie. As it happens, Hurd married Henriette, and the couple had three children together. Hurd had attended military school as a boy and enrolled at West Point but, having always loved art and painting, decided to leave halfway through to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. That decision was quite radical, especially for the early 1920s. This is the story of a person who had an inner desire to do something, followed his dream, and ended up not only living the rest of his life as an artist but also !nding his wife and family in the process. There is a “lived happily ever after” spirit to this decision, which is instructive as an example of following one’s passion and calling. —Glenn Goldberg, NA 3.1 For America: Paintings from the National Academy of Design New Mexico Museum of Art · October 24, 2020 – January 17, 2021 Painting America Robert Henri (Cincinnati, OH, 1865–1929 New York City) George Wesley Bellows 1911 Oil on canvas ANA diploma presentation, December 4, 1911 Henri completed this portrait of his friend and former student George Bellows the same year the two summered in Monhegan Island, !fteen miles off the coast of Maine. Bellows submitted the work as his Academy portrait, a gesture that perhaps signi!es the artists’ shared ideas about portraiture and representation.
