Narrative Impressionist Work by Elaine Coffee, “Antiquing in Cape Cod”
Est: $2,800 - $6,000
Elaine Grant Coffee (American, b. 1941). "Antiquing in Cape Cod" oil on canvas, n.d. Signature at lower right. Title and signature on verso. A captivating painting by Elaine Coffee, "Antiquing in Cape Cod" is one of the artist's "slice of life" paintings in which the focus is more on the collectors viewing and chatting about the antiques in the painting than the antiques themselves. Note how Coffee captures the subtleties of the peoples' interactions and the nuances of their body language. Furthermore, Coffee has a keen eye for composition and her process has been compared to that of a theater director "casting interesting characters from disparate venues and endeavoring to portray them as part of one harmonious scene." (Tree's Place website) In addition, as a genre painting this piece captures a scene of everyday life which is so comforting, and Coffee amplifies this by capturing the warmth of the cozy setting, a charming Cape Cod antique shop softy aglow by lamplight. While Coffee's themes are figural and suggest rich narratives, her formal approach is that of a modern impressionist. As noted by Tree's Place, a Cape Cod gallery that represents Ms. Coffee, "linear forms are not strictly defined, but emerge from gradual definition of shaded areas." What's more, all is rendered with Coffee's signature keen eye for light and color. Size: 30" L x 40" W (76.2 cm x 101.6 cm) About the Artist: "'The figure has always been my primary focus,' Elaine Coffee says, 'whether in portraits or as part of an environment. I like to refer to my approach as contemporary 'genre painting' - capturing people moving through their daily lives, gathering in restaurants, wandering through museums, even riding subways.' Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey and having completed studies at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, New York, urban life as subject matter was a natural for the artist. It was actually one of her trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art that inspired her 'slice of life' paintings. She found herself focusing more on the people looking at the paintings than at the artwork itself. 'I became intrigued with how the visitors were engaged by the art and with one another, how they related - or not - to each. Gestures and body language became critical as communication in paintings.' This awareness has also translated into Coffee's portraiture, painting family gatherings and nuanced portraits. Gathering material through sketches and photographs, Coffee composes paintings in the studio, pulling subject matter from several sources. Sometimes the sources are close at hand, such as her husband John's ongoing role as 'Santa' in her annual Christmas painting/card. She has been depicting him as Santa - relaying personal experiences of that year - forth the last 18 years!"
