Guy Carleton Wiggins
1883-1962 American
Wall Street, Winter
Signed "Guy Wiggins" (lower right)
Titled, signed and dated “Wall Street Winter/Guy Wiggins/1930” (en verso)
Oil on canvas
The poetry of New York in winter found its greatest interpreter in Guy Wiggins. Regarded as the last great American Impressionist, he had an intuitive command of light and color that infused his canvases with life. Wall Street, Winter is an ode to the wintry charm of the bustling financial capital. Snow blankets the street, with the famed Trinity Church rising in the distance and the Subtreasury Building at right, where the statue of George Washington stands prominently. The veil of snow softens the architecture, creating a quiet, Impressionistic vision of lower Manhattan that reflects the finest qualities of Wiggins’ most sought-after compositions.
Born in New York in 1883, Wiggins was the son of noted Barbizon artist Carleton Wiggins. Under his father’s tutelage, Wiggins began painting at an early age and was a frequent visitor to the Old Lyme Art Colony, the first artists’ group in the nation to adopt Impressionism. It was there that he began to develop his own unique style of Impressionism, earning critical acclaim early in his career. By the age of twenty, Wiggins was the youngest artist to have a work in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
He earned numerous awards, including membership in the National Academy of Design and the prestigious Norman Wait Harris Bronze Medal from the Art Institute of Chicago. He became best known for his iconic wintertime cityscapes, exhibiting a perceptive sensitivity to shifting environmental elements. Today, his works remain just as popular and are represented in important collections worldwide.

Santa
By Leslie Thrasher
Located in New Orleans, LA
A Salvation Army Santa looks on with a mixture of fatigue and disinterest as a group of children tell him their Christmas gift wish lists in this lighthearted composition by leading American illustrator Leslie Thrasher. This painting was created for the December 20, 1930 issue of Liberty Magazine, for which the artist illustrated covers on a weekly basis for six consecutive years. Thrasher is known for his scenes of everyday American life imbued with a sense of humor, qualities represented to great effect in this charming painting.
Born in 1889 in Piedmont, West Virginia, Thrasher studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts as a teenager and received a scholarship to study art abroad in Paris. Upon his return, he began studying under Howard Pyle, known as the “father of American illustration.” Thrasher sold his first cover illustration to the Saturday Evening Post in 1912, four years before Norman Rockwell’s first Post cover, and he would go on to produce over 360 magazine covers throughout his career. He painted humorous, relatable scenes of everyday life in America with colorful characters set against white backgrounds. He was also a successful commercial artist, painting advertisements for Cream of Wheat, Chesterfield Cigarettes...
