          Est: $3,000 - $5,000

          Property of a Dataw Island, SC Estate Description: Charles Henry Gifford (MA, 1839-1904), Sailboat, Oil on Canvas, signed lower right, depicting a racing yacht in a regatta, the yacht flying the American flag and a bugee, with stamp verso from Hertz Art Galleries, Lawrence, NY, in a giltwood frame. Frame size: 22 in. x 31 1/2 in. Born in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, Charles Henry Gifford was the son of a shipÕs carpenter. As a young man he showed no particular interest in becoming an artist, rather he was apprenticed to a boatbuilder and later worked as a shoemaker. It was not until 1864 and after serving in the Civil War that Gifford gave up shoemaking to become an artist. Two years later Gifford married Cordelia Palmer and the couple settled in Fairhaven. By 1868 he established a studio above a shop in New Bedford. GiffordÕs is known for his ability as a Luminist painter, which shows his concern for both subtle and dramatic effects of light, stillness, precise realism and softly glowing surfaces. Although Gifford received no formal training, he may have been familiar with local marine artists, Albert Bierstadt, Robert S. Gifford and William Bradford.

          Charles Henry Gifford American, (1839-1904 seaside view with sailboats, 1896 watercolor on paper signed and dated lower left. Tear in top left corner. From the archives of AskArt: Biography from Roger King Fine Art. Charles Henry Gifford was born in the seaport town of Fairhaven near New Bedford during the heyday of the whaling industry. The son of a ship's carpenter, he was first apprenticed to that trade, then learned shoemaking, but abandoned both to fight in the Civil War. He was prisoner of war in a Confederate prison where he developed chronic health problems that plagued him for the rest of his life. After the War he returned to Fairhaven and devoted himself to painting. He was essentially self- taught but was exposed to the rich artistic milieu of New Bedford. Alfred van Beest, William Bradford, Albert Bierstadt, R. Swain Gifford, and Albert Pinkham Ryder were among the artists who lived, worked, or exhibited in the city. Many years later Gifford wrote: "What set me to painting was...seeing an exhibition of Bierstadt's paintings...I was so enthused that I came home, got some cloth and paint and went right to work". Gifford was a typical Luminist painter, concerned with both subtle and dramatic effects of light, stillness, precise realism, and softly glowing surfaces. He is perhaps best known for the small canvases measuring about nine by fourteen inches that he called "my little gems". He painted along the New England Coast, including Nantucket, Cuttyhunk, and the Elizabeth Islands, and inland to the White Mountains, Niagara Falls and Lake George. Toward the end of his career he worked more frequently in watercolor, where his renditions of both naturalistic detail and subtle atmospheric effects often reached their apex. Provenance: from Taylor University's Dr. Neil and Mrs. Renee Compton Collection. Proceeds benefit Taylor University endowed scholarship funds.
