Joseph Henry Sharp Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Illustrator, b. 1859 - d. 1953

Artist Joseph Henry Sharp was among the first painters to create detailed portraits of Native Americans and the landscapes in which they lived. Sharp was born in Cincinnati in 1859, and he began developing his skills as a painter after a childhood accident left him completely deaf. Although he studied and trained in Europe, Native Americans and the American West captured his imagination, and many of Joseph Henry Sharp's paintings depicted this interest. He pursued these subjects, and by 1897, he was spending his summers painting in Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico. 

As an artist, Joseph Henry Sharp had many influential patrons. However, Thomas Gilcrease, an Oklahoman oil tycoon, amassed more of Joseph Henry Sharp's artwork for sale than any other collector. Art aficionados will delight in finding their own original landscape paintings for sale at auction and online.

              Joseph Henry Sharp (1859-1953) Ditch Workers, Taos, N. Mex (Taos Siesta), 1931 oil on canvas 20 x 24 inches 34 x 37 inches (frame) signed lower left: J H Sharp verso: titled, signed and dated; inscribed by artist: "Painted in 1931; Taos Mountain in distance--Pueblo & Taos at Base" -J.H. Sharp, Sept. 1933; label, Nedra Matteucci Galleries, Santa Fe, New Mexico Joseph Henry Sharp, hailed as the “father of the Taos Art Colony,” gained renown for his vivid Indian figure paintings and colorful landscapes. Born in Bridgeport, Ohio, his early education was affected by hearing loss, yet he pursued art at the McMicken School of Design in Cincinnati. Sharp’s European travels in 1881 marked the start of a pattern: he alternated between studying abroad and exploring the American West, including New Mexico and the Columbia River basin. Settling in Taos in 1912, he co-founded the Taos Society of Artists, focusing on the vanishing Indian culture. Sharp’s art, blending ethnographic detail with artistic flair, remains a testament to his enduring legacy. “This is a depiction of the “arroyo”, or sand wash that was one of the main thoroughfares from Taos Pueblo to the town of Taos. This location is directly behind art patroness and cultural influencer, Mabel Dodge Luhan’s house, and not more than a half mile from Sharp’s home and studio. Sharp’s title Ditch Workers is perhaps a reference to the pace of life at the Pueblo in stark comparison to the Anglo drive of commercial progress, and/or perhaps it is a reference to the limited options available to many folks during the Great Depression. Long shadows of morning light give depth to the sage, chamisa and Taos Pueblo people with Taos Mountain in the distance rising to meet the passing clouds. Sharp’s masterful brushworks record a scene of everyday life in Taos, now lost to us save for his canvas.” – Davison Koenig, Executive Director/Curator the Couse-Sharp Historic Site, Taos, New Mexico

            • JOSEPH HENRY SHARP TAOS INDIAN OIL PAINTING
              May. 07, 2023

              JOSEPH HENRY SHARP TAOS INDIAN OIL PAINTING

              Est: $30,000 - $40,000

              Title is Taos Warrior. Identified on back as show. Oil on Board. 5 1/2" by 9 3/4" unframed. 14 1/4" by 14 3/4" framed. Joseph Henry Sharp (1859 - 1953) was active/lived in New Mexico, California, Ohio. Joseph Sharp is known for Indian figure, landscape and still-life painting. Born in Bridgeport, Ohio, Joseph Sharp was regarded as the "father of the Taos Art Colony," and was known for his Indian figure and genre painting as well as for exquisitely colorful landscapes. He was one of the first Caucasian artists to visit New Mexico, arriving in Santa Fe in 1883. He was also a visitor to Alaska, being one of the early artists who visited there after the purchase of the Territory. Although Sharp was completely deaf from a childhood accident, he reportedly had a cheerful nature and was an avid traveler, always seeking learning experiences about other cultures. From childhood he was interested in Indians, and at age fourteen, because of his deafness, left public school to study art in Cincinnati at the McMicken School and the Cincinnati Academy of Art. His studio was in the same building as that of Henry Farny who gave him books on Pueblo Indians. At age 22, Sharp went to Antwerp, Belgium where he studied with Charles Verlat, and two years later he began traveling the American West, going first on a sketching trip that included Santa Fe, places in California, and north to the Columbia River. He did numerous paintings of Indian figures to record their disappearing culture. In 1886, he returned to Europe for more study and enrolled at the Academy in Munich with Karl Von Marr. He also traveled with Frank Duveneck, famous Cincinnati artist, through Spain and Italy. From 1892 to 1902, he taught classes at the Cincinnati Art Academy, and from 1895 to 1896, attended the Academie Julian in Paris where he met Ernest Blumenschein and Bert Geer Phillips, who later joined him in Taos. In 1893, Joseph Sharp first went to Taos, and his sketches from that trip were published in Harper's Weekly. He began making summer trips West to sketch Indians, and in 1902, he painted in Arizona, California, Wyoming, and Montana. An admiring President Teddy Roosevelt had a studio built for Sharp at the Custer Battle Field site. From there Sharp traveled throughout the Plains to paint about 200 portraits of living Indians who had been in that battle. To achieve these paintings, he endured much severe weather and physical hardship. By 1912, Sharp was a permanent resident of Taos, living across from Kit Carson's homesite and painting many of the Pueblo Indians in their daily activities. His longtime close friend and model was Jerry (Elk Foot) Mirabal, who, dying in 1980, lived to be 110. Sharp continued to travel, going frequently to Hawaii and California during the winters where he completed numerous floral landscapes. He also stayed in close touch with his hometown of Cincinnati, where he relied upon friends in the Cincinnati Art Museum for canvas and certain types of paint, and in December, 1915, he held the first of fifteen annual Christmas exhibitions there. He died in Pasadena on August 29, 1953. His Indian paintings are prized for their detailed accuracy, and many of them are in the collection of the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley.
