Since he studied and taught commercial art, it is not surprising that Glen Tracy had a penchant for illustrative imagery. He produced bright and colorful paintings derived from his extensive travels, but his favorite subject matter was the circus.
Tracy was born in Hudson, Michigan, centrally located near the border with Ohio. He studied with Frank Duveneck at the Art Academy of Cincinnati for most of the period 1899–1910, and during his last year he taught some classes, later returning there from time to time to teach. The academy had been founded in the late 1860s for the “promotion of taste and design in the industrial arts” and counted amongst its alumni were Will Henry Stevens, James Hopkins, and John Alberts, who were enrolled there during the same period Tracy was a student.
An inveterate traveler, Tracy painted all over North America, including Canada, Colorado, Kentucky, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, and, in 1925, Cuba. He delved into local history and industry and painted crisp compositions with saturated colors. Around 1924 Tracy provided illustrations for a publication of an English translation of the French medieval romance: Aucassin and Nicolette published by the Fleuron Press in Cincinnati. He taught at Central Academy of Commercial Art in Cincinnati which opened in 1931, whose motto was “where employers come to hire artists.” Its specialties were advertising and fashion design.
Throughout his career the circus was Tracy’s major preoccupation and his passion. He and his wife Mimi followed the major circuses for almost a decade, and his travels were most likely connected to performances around the country. In 1951 he moved to Sarasota, Florida, where the tent shows spent their winters. His style for his circus subjects—both scenes and likenesses of performers—was vibrant and expressive. A line from his obituary describes his enthusiasm at capturing every detail: “Friends said that he would sit through acts dozens and dozens of times until every detail was ngrained in his mind, and then go back to his trailer and in startling reality depict in detail the glamorous color of the circus show.”

"Oak in Spring" 1930 American Impressionist oil painting, oak tree landscape
By Henry Cooke White
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
"Oak in Spring" is a 1930 American Impressionist oil painting of an oak tree landscape.
Painted en plein-air, in an almost pointillist style, H.C. White depicts a classic Connecticut landscape. A Tall wiry tree stands as the focal point, having just bloomed its first leaves; foliage still thin enough to outline every single branch. Reds and browns scattered throughout the foreground connote autumn leaves that had yet to be cleared.
Henry Cooke White (b. 1861) in Hartford Connecticut. His career in art was founded at the age of 14, when he met the famous American Tonalist painter, Dwight William Tyron. The two became lifelong friends, and White even wrote Tyron’s major biography, The Life and Art of Dwight William Tyron (pub. 1930). In the late 1880’s, Tyron pushed White to move to New York City to further his artistic training at the Art Students League. During this time, White studied under many talented artist’s; Kenyon Cox, John H. Twatchman, and William Merritt Chase.
From 1896-1897, White spent time travelling in Europe. Upon his return to the states, he began to spend most of his time in Connecticut, following his favorite painting seasons. Spring in Hartford was followed a week later by spring in Old Lyme, and then finally at Waterford. He’d experience his favorite seasons three times over each year. Once immersed into Connecticut’s community, White was encouraged to paint habitually in Old Lyme; where an art colony was developing, beginning in the spring of 1903.
Inspired by European artists, including Claude Monet, and Pierre Auguste-Renoir, the Old Lyme Art Colony defined American Impressionism by memorializing the serene qualities of rural New England life through use of vibrant palettes and broken strokes on wood and canvas. The Colony comprised upwards of 200 artists during its three decades of creating nature-based scenes in oils and pastels; Frederick Childe Hassam...
