About the Item

Full of dramatic, shifting light and deep, atmospheric colors, this landscape painting by Norwood MacGilvary depicts rolling farmland and a winding road, with a dramatic mountainside and approaching storm in the distance. The colors are muted and rich, with the freshly-tilled fields in a shade of reddish-brown, trees and hills in shades of green, and a deep blue and purple mountain. MacGilvary's loving depiction of the American landscape demonstrates the influence of Social Realism and Grant Wood in particular. The artist studied in France and exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Art Institute in Chicago before settling down to teach at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh for over 20 years. The medium is oil on masonite. (Dimensions include frame.).

"New Mexico River Valley, " 1920s Painting, Black, Green Blue, Attr. Applegate
By Frank Applegate 1
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This superbly painted view of the mountains framing a river valley in northern New Mexico is attributed to Frank Guy Applegate, who lived and worked in the state during the 1920s, and is known for his watercolors -- such as this -- that present strong, abstracted views of the local landscapes, all in vivid colors and bold strokes of paint. Applegate was considered one of the New Mexico Modernists, and was accompanied on some of his painting forays by B.J.O. Nordfeldt, Andrew Dasburg and Josef Bakos. Applegate also had enormous respect for the culture and artistry of the native people, and encouraged a revival of the Pueblo style...
