Est: $800 - $1,200
Birge (Lovell Birge) Harrison (1854 - 1929) Oil on board, Signed Lower Left, Measures (5 x 8.5 inches) w/frame (9 x 12.5 inches) Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Birge Harrison has been described as one of America's leading tonalist painters. His specialties became moonlit landscapes, pueblos, and Indian genre, but unlike many of his Impressionist contemporaries, who liked to paint "en plein air," he painted from memory and preferred a muted palette. He was one of the first generation of painters and teachers in the Woodstock, New York art colony, which under his influence became a center of Tonalist-style painting. He also became a part of the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, affiliated with the Arts and Crafts Movement. In the 1880s, he did illustrations for Scribner's, magazine, which sent him on travels around the world. He first enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and advised by John Singer Sargent, went to Paris in 1875. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, with Alexander Cabanel, and in the atelier of Carolus Duran.
