Hermann Dudley Murphy (1867-1945) American
Est: $2,000 - $3,500
Hermann Dudley Murphy (1867-1945) Watercolor on paper depicting Mexican street scene, signed lower right "H. Dudley Murphy", piece measures 19 x 13.5 sand 30 x 24 inches matted and framed under glass in a Feliciano Nemiccolo carved gilt wood arts and crafts style frame. Artist was born in Marlboro, Massachusetts and studied at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School in 1886 with Otto Grundmann and Joseph DeCamp. Murphy worked as a mapmaker for the Nicaraguan Canal Survey which laid the groundwork to build a canal across Central America and the plan was ultimately discarded by Theodore Roosevelt in favor of the Panama Canal. In the late 1880s and early 1890s, Murphy was an illustrator for magazines such as Harper’s and Scribner’s, but he decided to devote himself to painting in 1891, studying for the next five years at the Académie Julian in Paris with Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant.During his stay in Paris, Murphy came to know and admire the work of the great expatriate painter James Abbott MacNeill Whistler, whose abstract tonal paintings greatly influenced Murphy’s style. Murphy also acquired Whistler’s taste for designing frames that complemented his paintings, and after he returned to the United States, he partnered with Charles Prendergast in a highly successful frame business. Settling in Boston, Murphy painted elegant portraits, poetic landscapes, and exquisite still lifes in an Impressionist style. He also devoted time to teaching, first holding classes on Cape Cod in 1899, and then taking a position at Harvard, where he continued to teach for 36 years.

Hermann Dudley Murphy (1867-1945) American
Est: $1,500 - $2,000
Hermann Dudley Murphy (1867-1945) Watercolor on paper, signed lower left H. Dudley Murphy" and with his native adaptation, piece measures 13.5 x 10 inches and 20 x 16 inches. Piece was purchased from a prominent New Hampshire Gallery. A major figure in the Boston School style of painting and also as a painter in the Tonalist style emanating from Barbizon, France, Herman Murphy did a variety of subject matter beginning with portraits and figure studies and later painting still lifes, seascapes and landscapes. He was especially noted for his floral still lifes, a subject he turned to in the 1920s, later in his career, and depicted with Impressionist style, classical format, sculptural appearance of featured subject, and decorative background patterning. Many of these still lifes had images of exquisite Chinese porcelains, bronzes, rugs, and antiques.Murphy was born in Marlboro, Massachusetts and became a student of Edmund Tarbell and Frank Benson at the Boston Museum School. In 1891, he traveled to Paris and enrolled at the Academy Julian as a student of Jean Paul Laurens. In painting and also in designing and making of frames, he was the most influenced by James Whistler, whom he met in Europe. Murphy established his studio, "Carrig Rohane", near Boston in Winchester. Using his studio name for frames intended to complement tonalist-style paintings, he established a framing business with Charles Prendergast and W. Alfred Thulin. Their product reflected the prevailing Aesthetic Movement, whose tenets included the commitment to art expressed throughout the totality of the work of art. Murphy also taught at Harvard University. A special interest of Murphy was canoeing. As a traveler, Murphy went to the tropics and loved the sun-ridden environment, which much influenced his landscape painting.He was an exhibitor in the 1913 Armory Show in New York and Boston, but by 1928, he had given up modernism all-together. The Boston Sunday Post, 2/19/28 carried the following quote by him: "These Modernist painters say that they paint not what they see, but what they feel--well, Heaven help them if they feel like what they paint!"
