Frame Size: 38” x 44”
Signature: Signed lower left
Price: $6500

Biography/Statement

Mary Jo Van Dell, an artist from the St. Croix River Valley of Minnesota, has devoted her life to mastering her artistic vision onto the oil painter’s canvas.

Largely self-taught, Van Dell’s style, unique and independent, defies precise classification. Historical references might include Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth. Her minimalist palette emphasizes the natural world, austere and uncompromising. Her contrast of light and dark captures the drama and power. With her paintings Van Dell conveys the awe and joy of the nature’s rawness, and invites others to share in her emotional response.

Van Dell is known for evocative works in oil, rich in beauty, mystery and immense power. Many of her paintings depict man’s presence and his struggle to survive in an ever changing environment.

She draws inspiration by hiking, backpacking, skiing and immersing herself in the wild. The rivers, lakes and forests of northern Minnesota, especially the North Shore of Lake Superior, and into Canada have been her focus throughout her life. More recently, she has explored and portrayed landscapes of the Pacific coast and desert vistas of the Southwest.

Collected and exhibited nationally and internationally, Van Dell’s paintings hang in both public and private collections including, The Minnesota Historical Society, The Minnesota Marine Art Museum, The National Park system and most recently the Art in Embassies program of the U.S. State Department.

Max Kuehne (1880-1968) American

Medium: Oil on Board
Image Size: 18” x 24”
Frame Size: 26” x 32”
Signature: Signed lower right
Price: $6500

Biography/Statement

Born in Halle, Germany in 1880, Max Kuehne was a colorist who created cheerful landscapes that appear to be painted spontaneously and with freshness.

He studied with William Merritt Chase and Kenneth Hayes at the Chase School in New York. In 1910, he embarked on a bicycling trip, traveling through England, France, Germany, Holland and Belgium. To support this trip he did portrait commissions along the way.

When he returned to New York City, he set up a studio in Greenwich Village and was a student of Robert Henri from whom he learned a dark impressionist style. He also became close with such avant garde artists as Guy Pene du Bois, William Glackens, William Zorach and Maurice and Charles Prendergast, which also influenced his dark work including street scenes and docks in New York City. However, three years in Spain, and painting trips to Gloucester lightened his palette as did time in Paris where he was much influenced by the Fauves, Nabis, and decorative painters. By 1912 he was producing work that would make him known as a “colourist of great distinction” by producing “paintings full of sparkling sunlight.”

He became a member of the artistic community later in Rockport, Massachusetts, with Gifford Beal, Leon Kroll, Paul Manship, Edward Hopper and Jonas Lie. Many of his finest paintings done later in his career are of the busy harbors and piers of Gloucester and Rockport.

His work was widely exhibited including the National Academy of Design, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh.

Perkins Parker (1862-1942) American

Medium: Pen and Ink on Paper

Price: SOLD

Biography/Statement

Parker S. Perkins was born in Lowell, MA on March 16, 1862 and died on Sunday, October 18,1942 at the age of 80. Perkins — a highly respected, self-taught marine painter of Rockport, MA— is remembered for his harbors, ships, and coastal scenes as well as interiors and kittens.

Although born in Lowell, Perkins spent most of his youth in Gardner, MA and is considered to be one of the city’s most successful citizens. He was never very famous or collected by New England museums and never achieved financial success, but because he painted for the sake of creating what he loved, he is one of America’s success stories.

Always dignified with a high sense of drama, Perkins was one of Cape Ann’s greatest and most admired marine painters. He lived on Gott Street in Rockport, MA and was, for many years, one of the seaports major attractions. Harrison Cady, famous illustrator and life-long friend of Perkins, asked him for his help painting a sixty foot long mural in Manhattan. Perkins obliged and then he returned to Cape Ann and the work he loved. Fame and financial success were never concerns of Perkins but what change of direction may have taken place if Perkins had put more thought into his career and remained in New York?

He exhibited with the Boston Art Club in 1895, 1891, 1894, and 1898. In the BAC exhibition of 1885, he listed his address as 70 West Newton Street in Boston, MA. Perkins also exhibited in New York and the Rockport Art Association.

Parker S. Perkins is represented in collections of the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, MA; the Rockport Art Association in Rockport, MA and museums in Syracuse, Detroit, and Mexico City.

Biography/Statement

John Inglis was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1867.  He studied at the Dublin Academy, and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Jean-Léon Gérôme.  At the Académie Colorossi his teachers were Raphaël Collin and Gustave Courtois.

Inglis settled in Rochester, New York, where he was active in the Rochester Art Club, and served as president.  He taught at the School of the Mechanics Institute.

With his academic European training, Inglis was regarded as a learned senior painter. His basically conservative style included elements of Impressionism.  At the Art Exhibition of the Rochester Industrial Exposition in 1925, Inglis won a gold medal.  For his genre scene, A First Sledding, Inglis won a silver medal at the same show five years later. The Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester has his Old Homestead.

Inglis was honored with a one-man show in the fall of 1939, and he was one of the founding members of the Rationalists, self-declared “liberal-conservatives,” who wished to uphold “logic and order” in the Fine Arts.  Inglis was active in exhibiting his works at Brodhead Gallery in Rochester.
