Note:
Italian Fishermen in Belvedere Cove is typical of Gile's period of brilliant color which was expressive of the French Fauves. Gile's work was greatly admired by Galka Scheyer who became a champion of his art, encouraging the artist to exhi bit his work in New York. Scheyer was well known for introducing the works of the Blue Four, which consisted of Kandinsky, Feininger, Jawlensky and Klee, to the United States in 1924. She housed a collection of the work by the Blue Four a t the Oakland Museum and it is known that the members of the Society of Six had access to the paintings, almost surely influencing the group.
