In 1864, he moved to New York City where he exhibited regularly with the National Academy of Design excepting 1869 when he spent a year in Europe and was influenced by the Barbizon style of painting.

In 1874, he and his wife moved into the Tenth Street Building in New York City, and he kept his studio there until 1893.  In 1876, he gained much national notoriety at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition for his paintings ‘November, Loch Lomond and Solitude.’

He spent summers painting in the Adirondacks and Catskill Mountains and also in England and Scotland as indicated by his entry at the Philadelphia Exposition.

During his career, he explored several styles including Tonalism and Impressionism but seemed to remain most closely influenced by the Hudson River style including Luminism.

Biography/Statement

STATEMENT:

In the act of painting, I have sought to discover that highest knowledge of Beauty, poetic and philosophical, that has been the common thread between all of the Great Masters of Art. I have spent hours staring at the finest masterpieces in museums worldwide in an effort to decipher that meditative effect that distinguishes greatness from proficiency, and have made the creation of that sentiment my central goal as an artist. Following this path has led me to study deeply the sciences of philosophy, design, linear perspective, anatomy, color, optics, architecture, botany, light and atmosphere with respect to their purposes in art, and I have built a foundation of consistent formal principles that work in harmony to illuminate meaning in painting. As my subject, I have chosen the universal human condition in this world, and have sought wherever possible to discard the sociopolitical fashions of contemporary culture in favor of those enduring sentiments that we all encounter in life. It is my belief that to experience the Beauty of our existence here in this magnificent landscape is the only way to happiness. My intention as an artist is to share that Beauty.

James Crawford Thom (1835-1898) American

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Frame Size: 32” x 46”
Signature: Signed lower right
Price: SOLD

Biography/Statement

Hudson River School style landscapist and genre painter James Crawford Thom was born in New York City in 1835, though he grew up on a farm just north of the City in Ramapo, New York.  He studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City as an eighteen-year-old before going to Paris, where he studied with Camille Corot, Thomas Couture and Henri Picou.  He also studied with Pierre Edouard Frere whose paintings of children and peasants in the countryside seem to have influenced Thom, known for his pictures of children out-of-doors.

A seven-year interlude in London, 1866-1873, led to exhibitions and increasing awareness of his work there, and in the latter year to exhibitions in America that encouraged the artist and his family to return to New York City.  They later moved to Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, where the artist died of pneumonia in 1898.

In 1983, nearly one-hundred years after his death, an exhibition of James Crawford Thom’s work was held in East Brunswick, New Jersey.  His paintings may be seen in the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

Biography/Statement

Artist statement:

“My mother first introduced me to the wonderful, messy world of smearing oil pastels at the age of six. Something about trying to capture a memory on paper while avoiding school work just stuck with me and with encouragement from my family, I began exploring other mediums. Throughout my school years, I tested a wide variety of subjects, but my love forthe outdoors and fishing ultimately led me to depicting scenes of nature in my work. My education continued at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where I was fortunate to have many talented mentors helping me to develop as an artist. I have since applied these lessons in my pursuit of nature’s truth.

For years I have admired the Hudson River School of landscape painters. Their reverence for nature and warning of man’s impact on the environment have never been more relevant than now.

In the setting of our current environmental peril, it is my hope that my art can call some attention to the purity of an untouched land, and perhaps encourage others to help protect it from future harm.”
