Crocker Art Gallery, Sacramento, California (L78.95), loan? (labels verso). A proponent of the Munich style of bold, slashing brush-work, and strong chiaroscuro seen in this powerful landscape, Joseph Frank Currier was from Boston, Massachusetts but from 1870 to 1898, spent most of his time living in Germany. He became a leader of an American art colony, which had begun as followers of Cincinnati painter Frank Duveneck. Previous to that, Currier studied in Antwerp and Paris and then settled in Munich after the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. Pastel was a medium he particularly favored for its expressive potential.

Frank Currier American, 1843-1909 Setting Sun and Along a River: A double-sided work Signed J. Frank Currier and inscribed Munchen (ll) Watercolor and gouache on paper 16 1/4 x 26 5/8 inches Provenance: Private collection Exhibited: New York, Spanierman Gallery, Works on Paper, Nov. 20, 2008-Jan. 3, 2009, no. 15 (34-5 color illus.) Literature: Carol Lowrey and Lisa N. Peters, Works on Paper, exhi. cat., New York: Spanierman Gallery, 2008, 34-5 color illus. (no. 15) During the 1870s, Munich was a leading art center for American artists, who adopted the dynamic realist style of the German painter Wilhelm Leibl and his circle. At the time, J. Frank Currier was the most prominent American advocate for this approach, inspiring other artists to record their immediate impressions of their subjects. Through his art and example, he urged them to leave evidence of their brush handling in their finished art, assuring its freshness and originality. Whereas most of his compatriots returned to the United States after concluding their Munich studies, Currier remained in Germany until 1899. This two-sided watercolor, inscribed München on its recto, demonstrates Currier's innovative use of a wet paper technique, which allowed washes of color to blend on contact. The result is the blurring of the line between land and built forms and the uneven facture that troubled the conservative critics of the time. The abstract aspect of this watercolor demonstrates why Currier was far ahead of his era. C The Spanierman Gallery, LLC Collection of American Art
