About the Item

May Lydia Ames (American, 1863-1943) Landscape with Covered Bridge Oil on canvas Signed lower left 9.75 x 8 inches 14.5 x 13 inches, framed May Ames was born in Cleveland in 1863 and graduated from the Cleveland School of Art in 1900. She received additional artistic training at the Cleveland Art Club and the Rhode Island School of Design. Ames was a teacher of art history and anatomy at the Cleveland School of Art for eighteen years. She was a founder of the Women’s Art Club in Cleveland as well as a member of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. Her landscape paintings were very popular and showed the range of her development as an artist. The earliest paintings demonstrate a style influenced by the Barbizon School, while those that are done at a later period show the effect of her travels in Europe, especially Italy, as her work became more Impressionistic. Although Ames painted still lifes and portraits, she preferred landscape, especially sunlit scenes of abundant nature in spring and summer. She was particularly attracted to the picturesque views of the small towns and woods around Cleveland. A frequent exhibitor in Cleveland May Shows, Ames continued to exhibit in the Cleveland area at the Korner Wood Gallery, the Women’s Art Club of Cleveland, the Little Lindner Gallery and the Lakewood Public Library. Ames also exhibited her work in national exhibits in New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia and Detroit.

Early 20th Century American Impressionism -- Old Lyme New England Farm
By George M. Bruestle
Located in Soquel, CA
Gorgeous early 20th Century American Impressionist landscape of New England Farm by George M. Bruestle (American, 1871 - 1939), Circa 1914. Signed lower left and on verso. Presented in gilt-toned wood frame. Image size: 8"H x 10"W. George Matthew Bruestle is an American Realist/Impressionist painter known for his intimate landscapes. Born and raised in New York City, Bruestle studied at the Art Students' League of New York in 1886 at the young age of fifteen and later in Paris. That same year, Bruestle visited Essex, CT and eventually purchased a second home in Hadlyme, Old Lyme as the Art Colony formed. Bruestle's main studio was in New York City. Inspired by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot [1796-1875] and other French landscape painters, Bruestle's style was a mix of Early Realism and Early Impressionist techniques.
