Biography/Statement

Lauren Sansaricq (b. 1990) grew up in Columbia County, New York, where from an early age she was exposed to both the beauties of the Hudson Valley and, under the teaching of Thomas Locker, to the traditional painting techniques of the Hudson River School.

Taking Mr. Locker’s advice Miss Sansaricq received academic training in drawing and painting at the Grand Central Academy of Art in NYC. In 2011, at just 21 years old, she was taken under the representation of Hawthorne Fine Art, a prestigious New York gallery specializing in 19th century Hudson River School Painting.  Lauren was also honored with a solo show in New York at Hawthorne Fine Art that same year.

Her work has been exhibited in Manhattan at historic venues like the Salmagundi Club, the National Arts Club and the Union League Club. In 2012 she had a solo show at Saint Anselm College, and was also featured at the Boston International Fine Arts Show.

One of Lauren’s paintings was also featured in The New York Times, surrounding the show she was apart of, “The Great Hudson River Exhibition”, in upstate NY. Today her work is in collections throughout the country, and is displayed beside some of the best American painters of the past.

She teaches every summer on the Hudson River Fellowship, and now resides in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

James Crawford Thom (1835-1898) American

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.

Emile Albert Gruppe (1896-1978) American

Painted near Woodstock, New York. Circa 1935

Medium: Oil on Canvas
Image Size: 30” x 36”
Frame Size: 40” x 46”
Signature: Signed lower right
Price: SOLD

Biography/Statement

Born in Rochester, New York, Emile Gruppe became a renowned New England landscape and marine painter. Although he is best known for his variety of Impressionistic landscapes, he also painted figures and portraits. His modern style was largely inherited from French Impressionist Claude Monet. “Lily Pads,” date and location unknown, one of Gruppes landscapes, attests to Monets influence and is similar to some of the paintings in Monets “Water Lily” series.

He was the son of landscape artist Charles Paul Gruppe, and was born in 1896 in Rochester, New York. He had a very strong art background. In addition to being raised by an artistic father, he was also educated in art at The Hague in the Netherlands and in New York City at the National Academy of Design and The Arts Students League. He also received instruction from artists George Bridgeman, Charles Chapman, Richard Miller and John F. Carlson, with whom he would later founded, in 1942, the Gruppe Summer School in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He made his permanent studio in Gloucester.

His artistic career had begun in 1915, but was briefly interrupted in 1917 when he spent a year in the United States Navy.

Gruppes prolific career brought him many awards and memberships. His popular painting “Winter, Vermont,” date and location unknown, won the Richard Mitton Award at the Jordan Marsh Exhibition in Boston in 1943.

Price: $7500

Biography/Statement

Bruce Busko is an exhibiting artist and Owner/ Director of Landing Gallery.  His work has been exhibited in his galleries since 1980 with a long list of additional Juried Shows, Invitational Exhibits and Awards.  He received his MFA from Pratt Institute and BFA from the Pennsylvania State University.

“During my frequent hikes, throughout Maine, I like to gather inspiration and visual information for my artwork. Nature walks and my outdoor experience become the first step for creating art in my studio.  Sketches, photos, memory and on site materials become the initial components of my painting process.  Each element lends its “specific flavor” to enrich my feeling for the subject. It can begin with a strong composition created by a low tide or perhaps the reflection of the sun and clouds in a calm body of water.  To seek is to find, is my moto.  Selecting what speaks to me is the core and the beginning of my creative experience.”

Louis Aston Knight (1873-1948) American/European

Inscribed with date of 1916 and location noted as Biddeford Pool, Maine. In beautiful original condition

Medium: Oil on Canvas
Image Size: 36” x 46”
Frame Size: 46” x 56”
Signature: Signed lower left
Frame: Hand-carved and gilded Arts & Crafts frame
Price: SOLD

Biography/Statement

Louis Aston Knight, renowned in both France and the United States for his vigorous plein-air landscapes, was born in Paris in 1873. He was the son of Daniel Ridgway Knight, the celebrated American expatriate artist who specialized in detailed, crisply drawn renderings of French peasant life.

Louis Aston Knight spent his boyhood years in Paris. He later attended Chigwell School in Essex, England, where he received his basic education. Intent on pursuing a career as an artist, he began his formal studies in his father’s atelier. Following this, he enrolled in classes at the Académie Julian, studying figure painting under Jules Lefebvre and Tony Robert-Fleury. From his father, he inherited a love of outdoor painting as well as a direct, unidealized approach to nature. In his mature work, he successfully combined both of these tendencies with his lifelong concern for the reflections and movements of water (indeed, he is known to have once rented an old mill near Beaumont-Le-Roger in Normandy, just to study the water effects of the brook that ran through the property). In addition to views of the French countryside, Knight painted numerous garden subjects, many of them depicting the grounds at the Manoir de Chautereine, at Beaumont-Le-Roger, where he once lived.

As a resident of Paris, until his later move to New York, Louis Aston Knight participated in important exhibitions in France and throughout Europe. He was awarded a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900 and honorable mention at the Paris Salon of 1910. He subsequently received gold medals at Rheims, Cherbourg, Geneva, and Lyons and the salons of 1905 and 1906. Knight was also a member of the European Chapter of the American Artists Professional League, the American Club of Paris, the Cercle de l’Union Artistique, and later, the Metropolitan Club of New York. After moving to the United States, he painted the landscape around Old Mystic, Connecticut, as well as the Maine coast, and Canadian salmon rivers.

Louis Aston Knight died in New York in 1948. During his years in France, many of his works were purchased by the French government and now hang in the collections of the Luxembourg Museum and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His work was also eagerly sought by contemporary private collectors, including Presidents Tardieu and the Sultan of Morocco. In America, examples of Knight’s work can be found in the collections of the Heckscher Museum, Huntington, Long Island; the Hudson River Museum, Yonkers, New York; the Mattatuck Museum of the Mattatuck Historical Society, Waterbury, Connecticut; the Memorial Art Gallery at Rochester, New York Musées Nationaux, Paris; Newark Museum, New Jersey; Ohio Historical Society, Columbus; the Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, New York; the Toledo Art Museum, Ohio; and Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, Hagerstown, Maryland.

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.”
