  • GERARD CURTIS DELANO MONUMENT VALLEY OIL PAINTING
    Jun. 11, 2022

    GERARD CURTIS DELANO MONUMENT VALLEY OIL PAINTING

    Est: $5,000 - $7,500

    Oil on Canvas Board. Subject is Monument Valley on the Arizona/Utah border in the Navajo Nation. 8" by 10" unframed. 10" by 12" framed. In the foreground it has a Navajo Indian Riding a horse, this figure is small and hard to make out. Condition report: Blacklight reveals three very small areas of touch up in the bottom right corner as shown. Painting appears to have some soiling and may benefit from a cleaning. Born in Marion, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, Gerard Delano, with a strong New England heritage, became a well-known illustrator and fine-art painter of western scenes, particularly Navajo Indians in landscape. He was the son of a sea captain and named for Gerard Curtis, the man who owned the ship that his father commanded. He began his art studies in New Bedford and as a youth sold illustrations to Life Magazine. His first training was at the Swaine Free School of Design near Marion, and in 1910, he enrolled at the Art Students League in New York City, becoming the pupil of George Bridgman, Frank Vincent DuMond, and Edward Dufner. He also worked as a textile designer. At the Grand Central School of Art, Gerard Delano studied with illustrators Dean Cornwell, Harvey Dunn and N.C. Wyeth. He became a successful commercial artist and illustrator, working in New York City until 1919 when he first came West and worked on a Colorado Ranch. In 1920, Gerard Delano homesteaded at Cataract Creek in Summit County, Colorado, and built his own dirt-roof studio. In 1933, he settled there permanently, but found the life hard because of the isolation, lack of art sales from being out of contact with his eastern market, and extreme winters in the high altitude. From there he took a trip into Navaho country, where the subject matter set the course of his career. He was fascinated by the colorful clothing of the Indians against the spectacular canyons of Arizona, and he painted scenes of Indians herding sheep and goats, emphasizing subtle coloration and mystical, contemplative mood. Needing to be near libraries for authentic research, he commuted to New York for illustration assignments. He later established a studio in Denver, having earned enough money from illustrating a weekly magazine feature called "The Story of the West". He spent his summers in Opdike, Illinois, his wife's home town.

Robinson, Denver, Colorado, circa 1940s; By descent to the present owner. Born in Massachusetts, Gerard Delano was fascinated by art at an early age. Having studied with illustrators Dean Cornwell, Harvey Dunn and N.C. Wyeth at the Grand Central School of Art, Delano established himself as a successful commercial artist and illustrator in New York until 1919. His first trip to the West was to the mountains of Summit County, Colorado in 1919 to work as a ranch hand. In 1920, he built his own studio at Cataract Creek in Summit County, Colorado, and later established a home and studio in Denver. Afternoon in Autumn  , Summit County, Colorado is an exquisite rendering of the terrain that drew Delano west. Typical of his strikingly bold palette, the vibrant yellow hues illuminate the fall landscape while the saturated blues create the perfect setting for billowing white clouds above. The organic, fluid lines and soft edges of the composition create a sense of peace and harmony with the land – a characteristic that is certainly distinguishable in Delano's paintings of the American West.
