  • FERN KNECHT (1888-1979) OIL/PANEL IN TAOS SCHOOL FRAME
    Dec. 07, 2019

    FERN KNECHT (1888-1979) OIL/PANEL IN TAOS SCHOOL FRAME

    Est: $3,000 - $5,000

    Fern Elizabeth Edie Knecht Portrait of Toulepela (Swift Lightning) Circa 1925-1930 The oil on artist's board signed lower left, various original tags and notations verso, displayed in a very impressive Taos School frame. In the late 1920s Fern Edie Knecht, wife of a prominent engineering consultant from St. Louis, traveled west to study painting with Ernest Blumenschein, a founding member of the Taos Society of Artists (1915-1927). Blumenschein and society co-founder Bert Greer Phillips discovered Taos by accident in 1898 while the two were on a sketching excursion from Denver to Mexico. Each eventually settled there with their families and over time became major American artists credited with cultivating the Taos art colony and thereby a major 'school' of American art. Fern Knecht's portrait of Toulepela with rising, distant pine-covered hills of New Mexico as backdrop for the sitter depicted as if just inside the frame is a wildly unabashed homage to her Taos teacher Ernest Blumenschein, borrowing heavily from his 1920 composition 'Star Road and White Sun' (Albuquerque Museum of Art). Board measures 30 x 24 with a framed size of 36.5 x 30.5 inches. We happily provide seamless in-house packing and shipping services on nearly everything we sell.
