About the Item

Fishers on the Sea - Impressionistic Maritime Scene Dynamic painting of people working on a fishing boat by Elmer Ekeroth (American, 1918-1993.) Five figures wear full yellow waterproof gear while they work to raise a fishing net. The choppiness of the sea is evident in the impasto brushstrokes used to create the waves. The blues and greens of the piece are deep and gloomy, allowing the yellow of the fishers to pop. In the net fish can be seen jumping, rendered in lively grey swatches of paint. Signed "Ekeroth" lower right. Canvas size: 24" H x 29.75" W Elmer Ekeroth studied at the Vesper George School in Boston, School of Practical Art in Boston, and the Cambridge Center Art School in Cambridge, Mass. He specialized in impressionist landscapes, seascapes and still life works. A founding member, and first President of the Pacific Grove Art Association in 1967.

"Fisherman of Yankee Cove, " Harry Leith-Ross, Boat Landscape
By Harry Leith-Ross
Located in New York, NY
Harry Leith-Ross (1886 - 1973) Fisherman of Yankee Cove Oil on canvasboard 8 1/8 x 10 1/2 inches Signed lower left; also with artist, title, and number '39' on label verso Provenance: Private Collection, Pennsylvania Landscape painter Harry Leith-Ross was born in Mauritius in 1886, a British possession in the Indian Ocean. He came to America as a seventeen year old. Before beginning, some ten years later in 1914, his studies at the Art Students League Summer School in Woodstock, New York at the relatively late age of twenty-eight, Leith-Ross had worked as a commercial artist. He studied with John F. Carlson and Birge Harrison at the League Summer School, and later with C. Y. Turner at the National Academy of Design in New York City. He then went to Paris, studying with Jean Paul Laurens at the Academie Julien and in England with Stanhope Forbes. Long associated with the Bucks County artists' colony in New Hope, Pennsylvania, Leith-Ross may have first gone there in 1912. It is definitely known that he visited the area in 1916 at the invitation of a student he had met when both attended the Art Students League Summer School in Woodstock, John Fulton Folinsbee. Birge Harrison, his former instructor at the League, whom he met again, was also there in New Hope during the winters from 1914 to 1916. The third and last generation of the New Hope colony would be comprised of artists like Leith-Ross, Folinsbee and Kenneth R. Nunamaker. It is somewhat ironic that Leith-Ross, so long affiliated with the New Hope School of American Impressionism...
