    • Peter Camfferman Oil Painting 'Margaret' c.1921
      May. 18, 2019

      Peter Camfferman Oil Painting 'Margaret' c.1921

      Est: $2,000 - $4,000

      Oil painting by Peter Camfferman of his wife and fellow artist Margaret Cammferman tending to a bouquet of flowers. Date: c.1921 Medium: oil on burlap Measurements: 29.5 inches by 23.25 inches sight size, and 38 inches by 31 inches by 1.75 inches overall including framing. Notes: Unsigned. Housed in a contemporary frame. Provenance: From a Whidbey Island, WA collection. About the artist: Peter Camfferman (American 1890-1957) was an American modernist artist who was born in The Hague, Holland and emigrated to the US at a young age. Camfferman studied at the Minneapolis School of Fine Art where he met his future wife, Margaret Gove Camfferman. Peter and Margaret traveled, created art and studied together, including studying with French modernist Andre L’hote in Paris. The Camffermans married in 1914, and in 1915 moved to Langley, Washington on Whidbey Island where they built a home they called Brackenwood. Peter and Margaret built the buildings and furniture at Brackenwood by hand, sometimes using driftwood they gathered to make the furniture. The Camffermans continually added on to Brackenwood, eventually creating 8 cabins for visiting artists. Brackenwood became known as Brackenwood Art Colony and Peter and Margaret held art classes on their property. Brackenwood became the cultural center of the area, which had previously been known as a backwood area rife with drinking, gambling and fighting. Peter and Margaret taught art classes at their art colony as well as hosting other avant-garde artists of the time to teach at Brackenwood, including Mark Tobey, Alexander Archipenko, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Amedee Ozenfant. The Camffermans lived in Langley for the remainder of their lives, with the exception of a year in New York City, 1925-1926. Both were members of Seattle’s Group of Twelve, a group of Northwest artists whose focus was on modern art in a time when the trend in the area was toward traditional academic works. Peter was also a member of the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Artists. Both Peter And Margaret were highly regarded within the regional art community and recognized as avant-garde among their modernist peers. Together they created art for the Public Work Projects Administration, and had works exhibited at the Seattle Art Museum, the Golden Gate International Exhibition in San Francisco, CA, the San Francisco Art Museum, the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, CA, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and in Smithsonian traveling art exhibitions.
