Charles Webster Hawthorne Sold at Auction Prices

Genre Painter, Portrait painter, b. 1872 - d. 1930

(b Richmond, Main, 1872; d Baltimore, Maryland, 1930) Charles Hawthorne moved to New York at the age of eighteen. He supported himself as a dockhand and stained glass maker while taking evening classes at the Art Student League. He attended William Merritt Chase’s class in 1896, and helped Chase found and managed the Chase School of Art in Manhattan, later known as the Parson’s School of Design. While traveling in Europe with Chase, Hawthorne was strongly influenced by the Dutch artist, Frans Hals, and the Renaissance masters, such as Giorgione and Titian. Like the artists he admired, Hawthorne was a talented figurative painter drawn to the rich colors and lusciousness of oil paint, capable of painting elaborate patterns with just a few bravura brushstrokes. Hawthorne was inspired to establish his own school teaching outdoor figure painting. In 1899, he founded the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Among the well know students who attended his school were Normal Rockwell and William H. Johnson. Hawthorne spent his time teaching at the school every summer until his death in 1930. During the winters, he traveled to New York or Paris, and in 1917, he became a full member of the French Société National des Beaux-Arts.

        Exhibited 1919 School of Charles Hawthorne Painting

        Est: $1,600 - $2,400

        School of Charles Hawthorne, oil on board, ca. 1919. The artist of this "mud head" painting learned a specific method of color perception from the esteemed Charles Webster Hawthorne (American, 1872-1930) who founded the Cape Cod School of Art in 1899. Hawthorne taught his students to paint colored blocks in sunlight, thus allowing them to focus on the study of color without being distracted by line and drawing concerns. This "mud head" portrait depicts a seated figure wearing a golden yellow short-sleeved shirt with a green trim or neckpiece as well as green pants. The figure is posed with her back to the sun, sitting upon a barrel with her hands clasped on her lap. Sunlight illuminates the sandy shore and blue waters of the Cape Cod beach beyond, dramatically outlining the sitter's form and dappling across the right side of her body. Meanwhile, the sitter's face is in shadow, hence the nickname "mud head". A striking example of Hawthorne's technique set in a custom frame. Size of painting: 24" L x 19.75" W (61 cm x 50.2 cm) Size of frame: 29.75" L x 25.625" W (75.6 cm x 65.1 cm) This painting was exhibited at Wohlfarth Galleries (Provincetown, Massachusetts). On the verso is an informative description written by Lavinia Wohlfarth of Wohlfarth Galleries that describes how Charles Hawthorne diverged from his mentor, William Merritt Chase, by creating the first school in the US to teach en plein air painting, thus embracing French Impressionism by working outdoors. Wohlfarth writes, "Hawthorne believed that it was only through painting simple masses that artists could learn to see the true color of light in atmosphere. In order to help his students 'see the light' he had to keep them from rendering every eyelash and detail in their portraits. Classes were conducted on the beach using local children and adults who posed with the sun at their backs. With their necks in shadow, and the glaring sun behind, the students could not see the features of the models. Using putty knives instead of brushes to avoid rendering detail, the students could only paint simple masses - facial shapes, hair color, and clothing." Hawthorne's school attracted many talented students and instructors. Among them, Henry Hensche was Hawthorne's teaching assistant in 1928, two years prior to Hawthorne's death. The Henry Hensche Foundation website provides the following description of Charles Hawthorne's teaching approach which confirms and amplifies Wohlfarth's discussion, "A model, often one of the local Portuguese fisherman's children, posed on the beach, sitting on a barrel with their back to the sun. The students positioned their easels facing the shadow side of the model. Hawthorne instructed them to paint this dramatic silhouette against the blaze of light on the beach, the water, and emanating from the sky. By having his students paint with a large, unwieldy putty knife, it forced them to concentrate on the large shapes of color, rather than outlines around the shapes, the way one might do when painting with a brush. The quality of a study was judged by the effectiveness with which the light was suggested by these simple shapes of color. The resulting mud-like color of the face in shadow gave rise to the studies' nickname, 'mud head'."
