New Fitz Henry Lane artwork: the lithograph Sicilian VespersPosted: July 29, 2010, Last Updated: July 29, 2010 | James A. Craig  Fitz Henry (formerly "Hugh") Lane’s career as an artist officially began in the year 1832, when at the age of 27, he was hired by Pendleton’s Lithography firm in Boston to serve as an apprentice. As the earliest known lithographic creation by Lane had been his "View of the Old Building at the Corner of Ann Street," 1835, it was long supposed that it had taken Lane roughly three years of instruction at Pendleton’s to master the medium of lithography. Yet, new findings from the archives of the Boston Athenaeum now reveal that Lane pretty much hit ... A Force BrewingPosted: July 16, 2010, Last Updated: July 19, 2010 | Louis M.

We seek a reference to gauge the nature of our own experience and art has a vital role in this process. The economic disruption and disillusionment of recent times has increased our awareness of this quality and refocused our attention on the art that is personally meaningful. As a dealer observing the ebb and flow of the American art market, I detect a fundamental change in the way collectors perceive the ...

Frank Vining Smith: Maritime Painting in the 20th CenturyPosted: July 14, 2010, Last Updated: July 14, 2010 | Julie Carlson Wildfeuer  The marine art of Frank Vining Smith (1879-1967) has become part of America's collective consciousness. When we envision a wind-propelled sailing ship plying the high seas, often the image in our mind's eye is inspired by, if not actually painted by, Smith. Prints of his ship paintings adorn seafood restaurant walls, original oils grace art museums and corporate office suites, and his best works now inspire collectors to bid upwards of $25,000 at auctions. The life and work of this beloved artist of America's great age of sail has finally been rightfully recognized with the ... Victor Candell, A Provincetown Modernist (1903-1977)Posted: June 23, 2010, Last Updated: June 23, 2010 | James Puzinas  For over 100 years, artists have been flocking to the Provincetown art colony each summer to paint in relative isolation amid the stark light and natural beauty that outer Cape Cod has provided. With summer upon us this week, I would like to take the opportunity to revisit the impact that this art colony had on one particular artist, not only on his style, but on his contribution to many art students in the years following the closing of the Hans Hofmann School. Victor Candell was a New York modernist whose initial preoccupation with explosions, violence and the horrors of the period ... Norman Rockwell, Tea Time, 1927, at the Norton Museum of ArtPosted: June 15, 2010, Last Updated: June 16, 2010 | Norton Museum of Art  Before a cozy hearth, an elderly couple sits in profile, backlit in warm yellows and oranges by an unseen flame. The woman, nestled in her patterned easy chair at right, smiles down at her cup and saucer, which she holds daintily in her hands while a black and white cat slumbers comfortably on her lap. Opposite her, the man wearing a long coat, cravat and plaid trousers appears to speak cheerfully as he examines his cup through his spectacles, perched squarely on the end of his bulbous nose. He—evidently the owner of the tall silk hat, gloves and umbrella carefully ... INTERPOL issues global alert for Paris art heistPosted: May 24, 2010, Last Updated: May 24, 2010 | ArtfixDaily Staff  INTERPOL, the international police agency, issued a global alert on May 22 with images of five paintings which were stolen from the Modern Art Museum in Paris last Thursday.
