Frederick Childe Hassam 

Reflections (Kitty Hughes) 

1917 

David Owsley Museum of Art, Muncie, Stati Uniti

Childe Hassam è stato un pittore impressionista statunitense e cofondatore del gruppo "Ten American Painters". 

Nato nel Massachusetts nel 1859, dopo un inizio come incisore del legno, prosegue nel campo dell'illustrazione e della pittura. Le sue opere ricordano nello stile Monet, anche se l'artista affermò sempre di trarre ispirazione da Turner e Constable. 

Oltre che per i suoi paesaggi e vedute urbane, è noto anche per la sua "serie delle bandiere", raffigurante la bandiera americana e quelle degli Stati alleati nella Prima Guerra Mondiale.

Stevan Dohanos - Tired Museum Feet (1956) Stevan Dohanos was known as a sensitive portrayer of common objects. His careful observation of everyday things began during his childhood in the mill town of Lorain, Ohio, where he was born in 1907, the son of Hungarian immigrants. From an early age, Dohanos worked to contribute to the family budget, and left school as soon as he could at age 16. He worked his way into a white-collar job in the steel mill office, and spent his free time copying the pictures on the calendars that hung on the walls. Before long, co-workers were offering to buy his drawings. He charged fifty cents apiece, then a dollar, and eventually a dollar fifty for a copy of a Norman Rockwell Post cover. Inspired by this success, Dohanos decided he might have a future in art. He took a correspondence course, and then went to night classes at the Cleveland Art School, eventually taking a job as an apprentice in lettering at a commercial art studio. At the same time as he honed his technical skills, he also developed his fine art ability – which he liked to call his “Sunday painting” – and in 1932 won first prize at the Cleveland Art School for a group of engravings. In 1935, Dohanos was offered a position at an agency in New York. He took a leave of absence in 1936 to work for six months in the Virgin Islands as a member of a U.S. Treasury Department art project. It was an enlightening and productive time: he developed a completely new style of painting, portraying the brilliant colors of the tropics in a manner both rugged and exquisitely detailed. The resultant paintings were popular; Eleanor Roosevelt bought three. His career blossomed. He was in demand both for advertising and illustration assignments, and he was also commissioned to paint murals in public buildings in West Virginia, West Palm Beach, and St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. He was determined to try for the coveted job of creating covers for The Saturday Evening Post, and in 1943 he succeeded. In later years he designed over forty stamps for the United States Postal Service, and served as design coordinator for the Citizen Stamp Advisory Committee. #americanpainting #americanpainters (at USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-KsHynf0k/?igshid=1oq2i6lxtvxlp
