About the Item
A haunting and unusual photograph by one of America's earlier female photographers - First Lady of Pictorialism - Eleanor Parke Custis. Probably taken in the Gloucester, Mass environs which is where she was from. This image is important in her body of work. By the mid-1930s Custis was devoting all of her time to photography, traveling throughout Europe as well as North and South America, all the while refining her technique of printing her photographs to maximize their artistic elements.
Vintage print - from her estate. Photograph itself measures 16 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches.
In Fog, while living in Gloucester MA, Custis has taken advantage of her discovery of a shipwreck on the foggy banks of a rocky outcropping. Custis manipulated the image to emulate atmospheric impressionist painting.

Sunyata, A Coastal scene
Located in New York, NY
A coastal scene, Sunyata is painted with a unique intensity. A great artist and hard to get works on canvas by her.
The painting itself measures 42 x 64 inches so other dimension is framed. It is signed in the lower right and again on the stretcher. In a lovely wood stained frame. Through this intensity, Sarah has found expression for a range of moods that encompass the whole human condition—awe, grief, anger, and joy are all represented here in haunting forms. These are the emotions that inspired the work and they are expressed metaphorically and spiritually, directly and indirectly in her works: her awe at the beauty of the natural world touched by the hand of the divine; her anger at the willful destruction of our planet and its resources; her grief in the form of a wave crashing against rocks; and her joy and exhilaration as sunlight bursts through the branches of a willow tree. Sunyata was directly inspired by lines from Keats’ “When I have Fears:”
Then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink
