FRED SHANE (1906-1992) OIL ON BOARD OR PANEL CIRCA 1940
Est: $1,500 - $2,000
Frederick Emanuel Shane (1906-1992) Untitled (Rural Town Scene) Circa 1940 The view of a woodland stream below small homes in a rural settlement is signed lower left front. The palette and technique here are consistent with many works by Fred Shane, though this example features a bit more color. The style is classic Midwest Regionalism and classic Shane: outwardly informal, yet fundamentally well-composed. Fred Shane was born in Kansas City and began painting at the age of eight. He studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and later refined his technique under Randall Davey at the Broadmoor Art Academy in Colorado Springs, as well as through further studies in Paris and New York.

FRED SHANE (1906-1992) TWO-SIDED REGIONALIST OIL C 1933
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
Frederick Emanuel Shane (Missouri / Kansas, 1906-1992) Distant Elevators Circa 1933 The classic Regionalist landscape composed in multiple layers and textures from an elevated perspective is signed lower right and titled verso on the stretcher where a second painting is found. The canvas is in an outstanding frame of the period, almost certain to be the original frame. It is of an unusual though classic, understated design displaying great original finish. This painting was exhibited at the 1934 Midwestern artist's exhibition at the Kansas City, Art Institute, and at Lighton Studios in Kansas City in December of 1935.The dynamic bird's-eye composition of this painting employs a subtle serpentine construction where the contours of the landscape guides the eye to the distant horizon and the 'Distant Elevators.' Both of these approaches to composing a picture are the tools of muralists and common to Regionalists, especially the serpentine construction that Benton taught. Benton's painting Boom Town employs this perspective, as does another work by Shane titled View From My Studio, Kansas City, 1933. An oil on board by Missouri artist J. Baare Turnbull (1909-1976) titled Episcopal Church, recently sold in St. Louis displays this same elevated perspective as do works by many of the muralists and easel painters associated with this period. The painting up for bid here, with a red farm truck wending its way down the road, is a great slice of Midwest Regionalism and classic Fred Shane: outwardly informal, yet fundamentally well-composed. Fred Shane was born in Kansas City and began painting at the age of eight. He studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and later refined his technique under Randall Davey at the Broadmoor Art Academy in Colorado Springs, as well as through further studies in Paris and New York.

Frederick Emanuel Shane (American, 1906-1992) Artists Sketching, 1949 Gouache on board 18-1/2 x 28-1/4 inches (47.0 x 71.8 cm) (image) Signed lower left margin: F Shane / (C Shane) Dated and titled on the reverse: Artists Sketching / California / 1949 PROVENANCE: The artist; Estate of the above; By descent to the present owner. Kansas City-born painter Fred Shane focused his artistic attention on rural America, representing the ordinary citizens of mid-Missouri and the Midwestern landscape. He was a professor of art at the University of Missouri, Columbia from 1932 until his retirement in 1941. In 1935, when the great Regionalist painter Thomas Hart Benton moved back to his home state of Missouri to paint a mural for the State Capitol and take up a position as head of the painting department at the Kansas City Art Institute, he and Fred Shane immediately established a warm friendship that lasted some forty years until Benton's death. Although Shane was by that time already a mature artist--having developed his own brand of humorous and sometimes cranky individuality through contact with such figures as Randall Davey, John Sloan, Robert Henri and Boardman Robinson--he was very much influenced by Benton's ideas about composition. Under Benton's influence his paintings because tighter and more ordered, and his forms acquired a greater sense of sculptural volume. Following his retirement, Shane maintained a studio and residence in Beverly Hills, California. HID04901242017
