About the Item
John Fincher (American, b. 1941)
Physical Activities, c. Late 20th Century
Watercolor and collage on paper
Sight: 16 1/4 x 23 3/4 in.
Framed: 22 x 30 1/4 x 1 3/8 in.
Provenance:
The Elaine Horwitch Galleries
Honored as the official artist for the cover of The Santa Fe Opera's 2010 Season Program and its pair of Season Posters, John Fincher has for more than 40 years created art that celebrates what the artist terms modestly "the trappings of the American West." These "trappings" encapsulate references that are both familiar and totemic of the Great American Frontier and its mythic role as a reservoir of pride, strength, individualism and renewal.
Distinguished by a singular blend of sensuality and authentic realism, his art is intended to explore diverse art historical and personal references to offer new understandings of America's natural and cultural landscapes. Exercising an economy of means, his work is focused on stirring emotional resonance from a combination of balanced composition, nuanced brushwork, dramatic shadowing, and the application of intense points of contrasting colors to punctuate significant visual elements.
He does images of towering poplars, pine limbs set against crystalline skies, richly hued desert hillsides, arrays of colors within canopies of aspens turning, and aggressively cropped prickly pears to symbolize cultural meanings and representations of the mythic American West.
Elsewhere, as in an enigmatic painting of a lone padlock and a suite of serially repeated images of shaving brushes, the artist hopes to transmute commonplace objects into powerful expressions that compound the equivocal with the intensely diaristic.
Born in Hamilton, Texas, in 1941, John Fincher earned his MFA from University of Oklahoma in 1966. The artist's works have been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions and have been represented in important group exhibitions at such significant venues as SITE Santa Fe, the Aspen Art Museum, and the National Art Museum of China, Beijing.
His work resides in major public institutions including the Smithsonian Institution, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Wichita Art Museum, and the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History.

George Howell Gay (American, 1858-1931)
Untitled Landscape, c. late 19th-early 20th century
Watercolor on board
12 x 17 3/4 in.
Framed: 16 1/4 x 22 1/4 in.
Signed lower right: Geo Howell Gay
George H. Gay was well known for his watercolor landscapes, seascapes and paintings of rivers and ships, mostly along the shores of New England. Gay also painted snowscapes, but these are scarcer. It is unusual to find an oil painting by this artist, as he worked mainly in watercolor. Some of his works display a tonalist aesthetic.
He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 2, 1858, and lived in Chicago and then in 1889, settled in Bronxville, New York. Gay was a pupil of Paul Brown and Henry Elkins in Chicago.
He is known to have exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1890; Boston Art...
