Note: According to the label on the back of the frame, this drawing was executed for a Life Drawing Class Demonstration when Cagle was an instructor at Watkins Institute. Provenance: Art Collection of former Watkins College of Art; proceeds benefit scholarship endowment for students in the new Watkins College of Art at Belmont University. Biography: Charles Cagle was born in Beersheba Springs, Tennessee. He studied at Watkins Institute of Art and Design and Peabody College in Nashville, as well as the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and at the Barnes Foundation. In 1930 he won a Cresson Memorial Scholarship which allowed him to spend a year traveling in Europe. Cagle was influenced by post-Impressionists, particularly Cezanne and Matisse, and upon his return to Nashville in 1931 he created some controversy with his progressive attitudes toward art and some of the art itself (including a nude statue that had to be draped because of the outcry caused by its exhibition at the Centennial Club). In 1935 he left Nashville for Vermont, where he bought a farm and established the Charles Cagle Summer Painting Group, which continued for 27 years. In 1940 his painting Forest Interior was placed in the Richmond Museum and he won the Schilling Prize. His art career was interrupted by World War II, during which he served in the Army in France and won five battle stars and the French Legion of Honor. In the years after the war, Cagle had several shows in New York City and Nashville, the largest of which was at The Parthenon in 1966. (Source: Tennessee Historical Quarterly, Winter, 1987).

    Charles Cagle oil on canvas, Portrait of a Lady

    Est: $300 - $400

    Portrait of a lady by Charles Cagle (Tennessee, 1907-1968). Oil on canvas, unframed. Signed en verso, upper right. 24" x 18". Circa 1950. Biography (courtesy The Tennessee Historical Quarterly vol XLVI No. 4, Portrait Painting in Tennessee): Cagle studied art at Watkins Institute and Peabody College in Nashville before enrolling at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Barnes Foundation in Merion, PA, a hub of avante garde art. Cagle returned to Nashville in 1931 and is credited with introducing Nashville "to the notion that paintings could express ideas and visions rather than views." In March 1933, Cagle draped a sheet over one of his nudes because of the controversy it caused when exhibited at the Centennial Club. Cagle left Nashville for Vermont in 1935 but his influence continued to be seen in the works of many other Nashville artists whose work subsequently became more modern in spirit.
